Thank you to True Community Credit Union & Dawn Foods for sponsoring the dinner and the Vandercook Lake Lions Club for grilling!. Go Jayhawks!

Due to traffic on I-94 coming back from an elementary field trip, Kathy's bus (#22) and Elizabeth's bus (#44) will not be on time at the MS/HS for dismissal. At this time they are 20 minutes away; therefore, you may pick up your student if able to. Student's on these two buses may be very late today. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Congratulations and Good Luck to Dallas Swaenepoel! Regional Champion and State Qualifer in Pole Vault! We are so proud of you!
