Just a reminder that the Junior High football team plays Surrey tonight in Underwood at 5:00 PM. The Junior Varsity is traveling to New Salem for a 6:30 PM game. This is a change to the original schedule as Surrey did not have enough for a Junior High game. GO COUGARS!

Mrs. Buccholz’s 7th grade FACS students finished their finger puppets that accompany a children’s book! This was one of their projects for their childcare unit!
