JH All-District Honor Band met last Saturday. After auditioning, selected students come together for a rehearsal and perform in a concert under a guest clinician/conductor.
It is designed to bring together strong band players from multiple schools in the region so they can experience a higher-level ensemble and performance. Avery Shuler, Brooklyn Molder, & Mason Beadles performed in large bands made up of 7th and 8th grade students from across the South Central area. What a great opportunity! We are so thankful for Mrs. Swope and her devotion to our Walnut Grove Band Program.

Walnut Grove is excited to partner with Burrell to offer a short student session focused on ‘Navigating Friendships.’ This opportunity helps students develop skills that support kindness, connection, and positive peer relationships. We will be having these discussions on November 18, during RTI for JH students and then during RTI for HS students.
The Academic Team hosted the Challenge Games on Wednesday, November 12, welcoming five visiting teams along with our own students. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped as readers, timers, and scorekeepers—your support made the event possible. Our students competed in both varsity and junior varsity matches, showcasing the hours of hard work and practice they’ve put in with Mrs. Pybas already this year. It was a great opportunity for them to demonstrate what they know and celebrate the idea that knowledge truly is power.
