Many of our Comets past and present helped Ms. Zylman out this weekend with the United By Sacrifice concert! They put in about 12 hours of hard work working gates, helping the Historical Society sell water, setting up, tearing down and checking on all of our other volunteers to make sure they were OK. Mr. Burkhart supported us by organizing the trash and can pick up with all proceeds for returnables going toward the school band. The Ag kids all helped set up all of the fencing on Friday morning. The Boy Scouts planted our flowers and the 8th graders brought in porch pots to make it look beautiful for Memorial Day. It was a hard day and probably the busiest the event has ever been. And they all want to come back and do it again next year! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Ms. Lund’s class and Mrs. Mutton’s class enjoyed the half day today by flying kites!
Mrs. Young's class participated in Red Nose Day yesterday; a campaign to raise money to combat child poverty and ensure all children are safe, healthy, and educated. Thank you for your efforts to bring awareness to the community!

Her poster was then entered in the District contest (42 clubs).

Carter explained why he chose to get a welding certification and enter the workforce right after high school. AJ spoke about his decision to be in the 5th-year program and about how Dual Enrollment classes helped him earn credits for college. The kids really enjoyed asking questions about welding and AJ's future major at MSU, Crop & Soil Sciences. Thank you Carter and AJ for stopping by!

Planning on attending games at Montabella tonight? Due to ongoing construction on their campus, the school has released a map to help spectators find where to park tonight.
Spectators can enter either at the yellow or blue star. If they enter at the yellow star, they can park in any yellow area. If they want to park in the blue areas, they enter at the blue star and drive straight back (following the blue arrows) and can park in any blue shaded areas.
There is one area (red rectangle with white "X") that is part of the construction area. Please do not drive through this area to access parking and do not park in that area. All parking is accessible without driving through construction areas.
Also please note that dogs are not allowed on Montabella campus, unless it is a service dog.
