Also thank you to all the cross country runners that rode the bus to support Rilyn and Tyler. We had great support! Also thanks to the parents, grandparents, and other fans for their support during the season. Hope to see all of you next year and remember to bring a friend to practice next season!

Last week Mrs. Schultz brought her chorus students out to John Voigt's farm to practice the Fall Concert songs in his grain bin. The grain bin provides students the opportunity to hear the echo of other singers, and the experience can provide cathedral-like acoustics. #piratepride https://sdk12-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/autumn_schultz_k12_sd_us/EY8Lz7M84QxAm-9bZAcXDjEB0eRgRDZsYWFtVUfPF34onw
