At last night's track meet, we had four first-place wins! Hannah Schoenbeck won the 3200, Forest Nyberg won the 3200, Marshall Kunz won the long jump, and Matthew Armstrong won the Pole Vault. We also had several personal records and top three places! Great job, Rebels!

Driver's Education Information Meeting for Students
Thank you, Ms. Fried! On April 4th of each year, National School Librarian Day recognizes the professionals who keep school libraries running smoothly. School librarians spend long hours maintaining the library's organization. They are also dedicated to helping our children find the resources they need to keep learning. School librarians are the people who create an environment where students can learn every day of the year. Their work is an impressive accomplishment. The school librarians provide guidance and expose our youth not only to texts, print media, and literature but also to digital resources and technology. These resources also connect them to libraries worldwide. A school librarian's ability to manage a vast array of media and a school whole of students with numerous projects and schedules astounds us. #NationalSchoolLibrarianDay
