Today the School Concert Band and SA Choir participated in the Region 8 Large Group Music Contest at MSU. The band received 2 Star ratings and one Good performance rating from the judges, while the choir earned 3 Star ratings. The judges are allowed to give just one Outstanding Performance ranking per event with a total of three awards given out for the bands and three awards for the choirs. Despite performing with a small group of students, the choir was awarded an Outstanding Performance rating!! Congratulations to our students for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to improving their musical skills! 🎶👏

The wintery weather didn't stop these students from performing the National Anthem at the Girls Division A State Basketball Tournament in Jamestown today. And perform it they did!! 🇺🇸What an outstanding performance by Kara, Jade, Mason, and Evelyn!! Great job!! 👏🏼 (Check out the comments below for the video- Facebook only)



Yesterday, three seniors attended a Stop the Bleed Training put on through the McHenry County Extension office. Through this training they were able to learn how to pack a wound and use a tourniquet. They also learned why these skills are important in rural areas. They were sent home with a kit that contains items to help stop a bleed or save a life until emergency services were able to get there. Thank you to the Drake Fire Department for hosting and to the McHenry County Extension for putting this training on!



Reminder: No School Tomorrow, Friday, March 6 – Spring Break Day! 🌷
