This week is all about pets 🐶 the kids loved getting to be dog trainers to the puppy plushys💙 they were teaching them to sit, roll over, give paw, and bark 🐾

In preschool we have been learning about: Pets! The kiddos loved looking at their own pet pictures and showing their friends!

The THS girls golf team competed in the 2A state tournament today. They finished in 3rd place with a team score of 322, which was 34 strokes better than last year! Taryn Sink was the overall medalist for the second consecutive year by shooting an 83 today. She will advance to play in the Overall Championship on October 16th.

Last week, Mrs Rowlett's 3rd grade Science class explored inheritance and created creatures out of clay by observing traits they decoded from their creature parents. They then investigated how offspring have similar traits to their parents but not always to each other.

Today's Cross Country Meet has been cancelled.

Yesterday, the THS golf teams had their conference tournament at the Golf Course on Turkey Mountain In Horseshoe Bend. Our boys team finished in 4th place, 6 strokes away from advancing to the state tournament as a team. Jordan Watson and Easton McGuire both finished in the top 7 overall and will be advancing to the boys state tournament as individuals in two weeks.

The girls team finished in 1st place to repeat as back to back conference champions. Taryn Sink led the way with a round of 82 finishing as the medalist for the 12th time this season. Taryn, Karlee Penix, Emily Gates, and Emeri Baughn advance to the state tournament next Tuesday in Glenwood.

Go Bulldogs!
