Mrs. Otott's second grade class visited our Classroom to Careers sponsor, Elements Salon.

Mrs Baker is so very proud of her class this year. They have grown in maturity, independence, academics, and of course in size. They know how to have fun, support each other, resolve conflicts, and do well in school. Have fun this summer. "See ya later, 4th grader!"

Tiger Designs was extremely busy the first 2 weeks of May making 578 shirts for 4 area events. The red shirts were made for the speaking engagement heard by Washington County, Linn, and Hanover students. The sponsors shown on the shirt are wonderful supporters of our area schools. The gray shirts were for the 4th graders in the county in honor of ag day and they had a long list of sponsors also interested in the success of our youth. The Best Team Ever shirts were in honor of our dedicated hospital staff during hospital appreciation week. Finally, the green shirts were for the Jim Clark Memorial tournament hosted each year for family in need. Thank you to all these individuals for letting make shirts for you. Look for pictures from area baseball/ softball teams next!

The Tigers competed at 2A Regionals yesterday in tough conditions with wind and muggy weather. The team battled hard and stayed within four shots of third place for most of the day. Unfortunately, our season has come to an end for everyone except Tucker Huband, who earned a spot in next week’s State Tournament with a score of 90. I’m incredibly proud of the way this team competed all season long. These players learned a lot about themselves as individuals and about the lessons golf can teach in life. Golf brings constant adversity, challenges, highs, and lows — sometimes all within a single round. More importantly, the way they carried themselves both on and off the course is something they should be proud of and continue to build on. Parents, you should be proud as well. This was truly a great group of kids, and I enjoyed the opportunity to help teach them not only about golf, but about life through the game. Noah Hoover and Tucker were our two seniors this season, and there have been many great memories over the past four years. Both competed at the state level multiple times and earned medals in numerous meets throughout their careers. I’m very proud of both of them and wish them the best in their future endeavors. Let's go Tucker@ Quail Ridge in Winfield, Ks
