Each week, the 7th-grade art class takes on a new sketch challenge—and this week, the boys really got it. The prompt asked them to design a drawing that filled the space using both 2D and 3D arrows.
👏 Congratulations to Corbin, our SKETCH OF THE WEEK (blue, orange, yellow design), for his creative and well-executed design!
👏 A big shoutout to Ryder, our close runner-up!
It's great to see the effort these students put into their work!

JH Football opened the season versus Frankfort. Our kids played hard throughout the game. We are a young team that has potential. 10 - 7th graders seen the field. The game ended with 3 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. 48-0 Frankfort. We travel to Seneca to face St. Peter & Paul next week!

Tonight was the big first game for our Junior High volleyball girls! We had some first-game jitters, but both teams showed heart, hustle, and so much potential. 💪🏐
A Team battled hard, falling just short with scores of 21-25 and 17-25.
B Team fought through some tough sets, with scores of 3-25 and 14-25.
Even though the scoreboard didn’t go our way, there were so many great moments from both teams that show how much talent and growth is ahead. I am beyond proud of these girls, and I can’t wait to keep improving, learning, and—most importantly—having fun together this season!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us tonight—you make all the difference.

Students in biology extracted DNA from "mystery material" today. I think most of them know what the "mystery material" is.

Friday Night Game Washington County @ Blue Valley
A quick FYI, the stadium visitor section is on the smaller side shaded in pink on the picture. If this is your first visit to the stadium, I would recommend a pop-up chair if you don't plan on standing. I would also recommend a long-sleeve shirt for the little ones. The temps will be cooler than normal. I hope to see everyone at the game to cheer on our Tigers.

Play Props Needed!
We’re putting together the set for our upcoming play, which takes place in a late 1800s fort general store. To bring it to life, we’re looking for items similar to the ones pictured.
These will be for looks only and will be returned after the show—please tape your name to anything you loan us. 👉 Our biggest needs right now are wooden shelves and the "selling" counter. But we will also need things to "stock" the shelves. Please note: we’ll need to hang on to them for about a month and a half.
If you’d like to help, contact etoole@usd108.org
to arrange drop-off or pick-up.
Thanks so much for supporting our students and their production!

Thanks to all who came out and supported the girls at the Jamboree games tonight. The varsity girls played very well vs Axtell and came within a whisker of pulling off a win, but settled for a split. The JV girls put up a good battle as well falling late to the Eagles.
Both teams then lost to Blue Valley to end the evening, but overall it was a pretty good night for the girls.
Again, thanks for coming out and supporting the team.
