Six band students attended the Tri-Rivers Conference Junior High Band Festival on Thursday, October 23rd. They spent the day rehearsing music with students from the entire conference and performed a concert that evening under the direction of Dr. Franks from Simpson College.

Mrs. Luepker's Employment Strats class switched roles and gave instructions for putting together the puzzle to their blindfolded partners. We discussed the challenges of good communication (and listening). This time Dalton and Reed won the challenge.
