The High School JV Boys Baseball game vs. Blue Valley @ Highland this evening has been cancelled due to field conditions. We will post a reschedule date if/when available.

Dr. Jordan Bauman has agreed to give our student-athletes their yearly physicals for the upcoming school year. With the numbers that we have, he is taking two of his off days to come in and do this for them. He will evaluate the boys on Thursday, May 5 and the girls on Thursday, May 12 beginning at noon. We will call them out as needed throughout the afternoon as long as they have properly filled out and returned their paperwork to Mr. Keller a day in advance. Physical forms will be sent home with the students a couple of days before so if you don't see any paperwork come home to you, please let us know or come to the Middle School office to fill it out. If you would like your primary physician to do the physical, keep the form and turn it in at your convenience.
