It has been a busy month and there has been a lot going on at Dove Creek HS/MS. Our FFA/Agriculture students had several events taking place, our sophomores and juniors completed the ASVAB test, winter sports wrapped up their seasons in grand fashion, and we will be hosting parent-teacher conferences this Wednesday.
The FFA students had several fun activities planned during National FFA Week. Unfortunately, some of the activities weren’t able to happen because of our snow days. They were, however, able to have “drive your tractor to school” day and host the staff appreciation breakfast for all of our district staff members. I would like to thank the FFA students for the wonderful breakfast they provided. The FFA also sent a team consisting of Trapper Vinger, Jonathan Davis, and Mason Forst to the district quiz bowl where they placed 3rd. Congratulations guys!
What a year for the basketball teams. Both our boys and girls won the league championship. The boys placed 2nd at districts and qualified for regionals where they won their first game convincingly and then, unfortunately, lost the second game, ending their terrific season. The girls won the district tournament and that guaranteed them a chance to host the regional games. They prevailed again with another championship and were the number 4 seed in the state championship “final 8.” At the state championship our girls, for the first time in school history, became state semi-finalists and eventually brought home a 3rd place trophy. Congratulations to both teams for all the accomplishments and for a great season.
We will host parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday, March 15th from 4:30 - 7:00. Make sure to come in to meet with teachers and check in on how your kids are doing in their classes. Spring break will begin this Friday, March 17th. Stay safe and hopefully enjoy some warmer weather.
Mr. Baughman
