Where: GHS Old Gym

Here is a flashback to last year when the dads were blindfolded and led around to play soccer by their daughters. I wonder what fun the parents have planned for this one?
JH VB Families:
There WILL be JH Volleyball Games in Clear Lake next Thursday, October 17th!
- 7th Grade will play at 4pm, 8th grade to follow (both in the Stage Gym)!
The Junior class was able to attend the annual Post High School Fair at Northern State University on Wednesday October 9th . This event has representatives from numerous colleges, universities, military, and employers. The students were able to have conversations with admissions officers about the different academic programs offered, along with being able to chat with businesses who are looking to hire.
For many, this marks the first step in a journey that will lead them to their decision regarding their path after high school. This is a fantastic opportunity for them to explore a wide range of paths, and discover what best aligns with their skills, interests, and long-term career aspirations.
Schedule Change: There will NOT be a JV Football game with Sisseton on Tuesday, October 15th!
