Our dance and cheer teams welcomed students (and Mr. Mair) into the building this morning. They then performed the school fight song at the pep assembly. Great job, ladies!

Softball placed their new signs out front of the school last night. They take on El-Paso Gridley at home tonight at 4:15! Good luck, ladies!!!

Teachers were all back in the building yesterday! We kicked off our day with teambuilding activities. Teachers participated in word scrambles, scavenger hunts, memory games, and math riddles. They even played "The Floor is Lava" and earned the first points for this year's Warrior Houses. We are excited to welcome students back to our House tomorrow!
