There were many hands-on activities available that could possibly spark an interest in a future career.

If you have a 6th, 8th, 10th, or 12th grade student, please visit with Mrs. McMichael at Parent/Teacher conferences about the Kansas Communities That Care Survey. The survey is able to provide an insight into students' lives through an anonymous format.

Fans will not be able to park by the field this evening as it is too wet. Please park in the parking lot and then walk to the bleachers.
