On Monday we will finish up our study of astronomy and earth science before starting our unit in physics later in the week.

For softball, we had hitting after school and finished at 4:30 and headed for home since it was snowing.

Tonight is the basketball homecoming games and festivities ...  vs. Franklin Simpson HS.
