Veterans Day Program

Shepherd High School and Middle School are hosting a Veterans Day Program on November 11th.  The high school has held a program since 1997.  The middle school started to have a program of their own, but last year the programs were combined.  Veterans are invited to attend and are celebrated at the program.  There are special music presentations by the choir and the band.  There are special readings that also celebrate the sacrifice of the veterans.

If you see this post before the program, please consider attending.  The program is in the high school gym at 9:00.  It is good for our students and is always enjoyed by the community guests and veterans.  There is a special reception for the veterans following the program.

Cross Country State Finals

I went down with Mrs. Bridges to the Cross Country State Finals on Saturday.  This was a very exciting time.  Both our boys and girls qualified.  I don't want to mention names of runners because they all did well, and I don't want leave anyone else.  The boys ended up in 3rd out of the 27 teams that qualified.  This is very good.  A few of the runners set personal records.  The girls ended up 9th.  This was also very good.  Their goals was to make the top ten, and they achieved this goal.  Both teams had tremendous seasons!
