Chicka chicka boom boom! The kindergarten class got to investigate a real coconut after reading our weekly treasure book. Their favorite part was watching Mrs. K cracking it opening with a hammer! They learned that a coconut has three eyes and even got to sample a piece. Not too many were coconut fans! Fun times!

Come join the volleyball team for supper tomorrow night before the football game!
The cross country team opens their season today in Beresford! Good luck!
The 6th and 7th graders had a great day at South Dakota's Largest Classroom in Huron at the State Fair. They started the day with a trampoline show, then visited various booths and buildings. For lunch, they ate and watched a magic show, and some even were able to participate! They ended the day visiting more booths and the petting zoo. They had a great day and luckily it wasn't too hot!
Here is the link for the volleyball game tonight and Thursday.
