The speech team competed at North Platte on Saturday. The Blue and Gold Competition was a huge meet hosting over 30 teams and almost 500 entries. Our OID team Rachael Kemp, Levi Goosey, Katherine Anderson, and Saije Phelps, made it to the final round; they ended up taking 5th place. All of the speech kids worked very hard and have had immense growth since our last competition. I'm excited to see how they do at Elm Creek this Saturday.
Another week of wrapping some winter activities up. Come out and support these students. Also, we will do a state wrestling send-off on Wednesday, February 15th @ 12:50 p.m.
FFA members competed in Career Development Events! The competition was tough but students did well and have lots of room for growth. Kaden Blake was 9th individual and received a blue ribbon in poultry evaluation.
Saturday, the speech team competed at Gothenburg. It was the team's first contest, and they worked hard. We did not bring home any hardware this time, but we did bring home the drive and excitement for our next meet. Our next competition is this Saturday at North Platte High School at 8:15 a.m.
Our mighty Longhorns and Mavericks are in full swing again this week. Come out and support these amazing students and coaches.
Reminder we will have Parent Teacher Conferences, Monday, February 6 from 9-4. We hope to see all of our parents there!
Today, the eighth-grade class had fun playing Zeus on the Loose in English class. They have been working through their Greek mythology units this quarter. They are currently reading The Sea of Monsters in class and discussing the Greek gods and goddesses' roles throughout their study.
Speech students are practicing their OID for tomorrow's competition. The competition will be held at Gothenburg High School. We leave Tryon at six and will pick up North Platte kids at Cody Park at six-thirty.
