A slow week at MCS. Winter Break this week, no school on Wednesday-Monday, March 9-14. Daylight Savings time starts Sunday, March 13. Spring forward!
The McPherson County Speech Team competed in the 2022 District Speech Tournament yesterday. We should be proud of all our students and their perseverance. This year, these students had a rough start dealing with sickness and other obstacles along the way. Every team member medaled except one this year, and the student who did not medal worked extremely hard and just missed it by a couple of points. Saige Phelps received third in serious prose, and she will be representing our school and speech team at the state speech competition this year.
District Results:
Serious Prose: 3rd place- Saije Phelps
OID: 5th place- Katherine Anderson, Brooklynn Fisher, and Isaac Goosey
FFA members are competing today at District CDEs!
