Next week will be a short week - No school on Friday, April 3rd.

Ms. Branstetter and these seniors had a great day at Crowder yesterday for the Business Contest they host for all area FBLA groups. These ladies participated in Business Communications and Business Law events alongside the other students. We had to leave early so we'll have to wait until they release the awards, but it was a great prep for our upcoming state FBLA event in Springfield.
