Addy with a beautiful oak nightstand that she completed promptly by working hard every day out in the woodshop. I like the three drawers for storage and her choice of stain made the oak grain stand out and look neat. Good job, Addy!

JH Boys concluded their basketball season with a loss in yesterday's 3rd/4th place game. We ended the season falling short of our win/loss goal at 5-8. However, we feel this team improved in the 2nd half of the season in ways that are not measured in the stat book & win column. Would like to wish the outgoing 8th graders the best in the coming years and welcome the challenge of a new group of boys to mold next year!
Coach Huckett
Huge thank you to our custodians, Bill and Cindy, who have been at the school since 5:30am sweeping, emptying trash, filling paper towels and more so that we look good at the JH basketball tournaments today! We appreciate you!!

Angel with a custom cat tower she built for her cats. It turned out neat and I like the cat-shaped face lookout for her cats to peer out of. Good job, Angel!
Noah with a quality dartboard cabinet made out of pine. He also got into the Christmas spirit and made a tree for his mother. Good job, Noah!
Sabrina with a nice hamster cage she made out of locally milled cedar. Her pet hamster will have a beautiful new home to live in. Good job, Sabrina!
