There has been a change to the Middle School Track Schedule. The Valentine Track Meet for middle school originally scheduled for Friday May 9, to coincide with the high school meet has been changed to Tuesday, April 29. There will not be a middle school meet on May 9, as that meet will now only be for high school. Again, the Valentine Middle School Track Meet will be on Tuesday, April 29, and not on May 9 as originally on the calendar. The high school meet will remain on May 9. Thank you.

Unfortunately, we were unable to secure enough participants to hold the Cultural Fair this Spring, so we will just be hosting the presentation by Nancy Gillis. In previous years, the high school hosted local families and organizations willing to share elements of their culture including food, art, music, dance, literature, etc. for an evening where students and the community could learn from various cultural presentations. If anyone is interested in participating in a future Cultural Fair please contact Brooke Simmons at the Gordon-Rushville High School and we will reach out to you about participating in the Cultural Fair next year. Local historians, artists, and organizations are also welcome to participate.
