First dance and Volleyball update

     It has been 3 years since my last 6th grade dance. I must say it has not changed much. A ton of smiles, LOUD music, food, candy, and energy. They never seem to run out of energy. I am sure the students could run, play, and dance all night if it lasted that long. Well, the first dance is over and I want to thank all the parents who gave up what could have been a quiet night at home to join us for a few hours of fun. Thank you to Mrs. Embry for organizing such a successful dance. The 7th and 8th grade dance will be held on October 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets will be sold in the cafeteria (the week of the dance) for five dollars or six dollars at the door. Mrs. Macharia will organize this dance. If you would like to help please e-mail her or call 428-2300.
      The 7th grade volleyball B team played in their first tournament this weekend at Ridgeview middle school and came home with a 3rd place trophy. They went 5 and 1 in pool play beating Hopewell, Chisholm, and splitting games with Grisham. Only 4 teams qualified for the tournament. In our first round match up against Walsh we fell short but came back strong against Chisholm to win the third place trophy. The 8th grader B team also played in a tournament this weekend. They went undefeated beating Grisham, Deerpark, Chisholm, Hopewell, Ridgeview, and Canyon Vista to win the Championship. Great job Ladies. Way to bring home some hardware. Be sure to tell Coach Philen, Petty, and Cook thanks for all they do.
