Here is the full schedule/order of events for the Southwest Conference Track/Field Championship meet scheduled for this Saturday April 27th here at MHS! It has been quite some time since we have hosted the SWC Championship meet so we are excited to bring this event to our community!
REMINDER: Only SWC passes will be accepted for admission, no school passes will be accepted.
What a great track & field day for 4th-6th grades! Good work Mr. Wilson and a shout to the 8th grade track team and Josh Jorgensen for their help!
We have some great performances coming up in the next few weeks! Catch the high school musicians on Monday 4/29 and the middle school musicians on 5/6! Students have been working hard this semester and are ready to perform some fun music.
Whippet ladies, if you are worried about missing softball games for basketball camp, we have an opportunity.
If you would like to attend on Tuesday evening and still want a t-shirt, we will reduce the registration price to $20.
Please return forms to school offices by Friday.
