        Congratulations to our March Students of the Month!! You are awesome!!
        “These Plains to the Park students had a great day in the foothills last weekend. They checked cameras and filmed a narration for an upcoming video about foxes, which you can see on this week’s WTV. And, of course, hiked to the highest rock formation that we could find to see what we could see. In the background, you can see the fresh snow on the Continental Divide. We also stopped for ice cream on the way home!” ~Mr. Cribby
        8th grade Track and 1/3 of 7th grade Track endured wet, rainy, snowy, and cold conditions at their first meet of the season at Lyons Middle/Senior on Monday, April 1st. Despite the challenging conditions, our Wildcats worked hard and made an impressive showing at the event.
        “Wow! We had an awesome experience Thursday afternoon. We had tons of families here supporting our 6th and 7th graders at the Track meet right outside in our own backyard. We also had some outstanding 8th grade volunteers; they worked so hard! And, we had a lot of staff out there working hard to pull off a really great Track meet. Many people had some personal bests, and it was just a beautiful day. Thank you to everyone who made it happen. It was really, really great!”
        ~Coach Benjaminson
