The Jr High Lady Knights Basketball Program visited Greenville University for a couple of days this week. The girls played 8 games in two days, and went .500! They also enjoyed a fun two nights of playing in the pool at the hotel, eating pizza, made new friends, and went on an ice cream trip. We can’t wait to see this invaluable experience translate into more success next season!

If you have any questions, please post to the SportsYou volleyball account.
Thank you Mansfield United Methodist Church for the "Let Love Shine" grant money used to purchase our Tie Dye Day supplies! One of our 4th grade classes wanted to show off their new attire.

As we work to wrap up the school year, Mr. Tongate's students have been coming in to pick up final projects and he wanted to share a few examples that weren't ready for presentation at the Spring Fine Arts Fair but deserved some recognition.
First, we have Tyler Holtz, a Sophomore who was in the Woods Course, and his End Table.
Then, we have Mason Bradford, a Senior, who was in the Carpentry/Cabinet-Making course, and his TV Stand.
Great job to all!
Schneider Elementary created a special video (linked below) to send Mr. Peyton off on his new role as Superintendent. It was the perfect way to show how much the students and staff appreciate all he has done as Principal! Please take a look at what they created and join us in wishing him well as our incoming Superintendent.
