WE ARE ALMOST HOME... Many of the kids are taking advantage of the wifi on the Badger Bus. Freshman are doing study sync for English. Some tried to do sketch up for basic woods but apparenlty straight lines are hard to draw on a bus and some seniors completed scholarship applications due Monday. Did you know the wifi is only available for students on their school issued devices? Thanks to Dr Isom and the school board for making this happen!

VALENTINE FFA stopped in Beemer and toured Jones Mfg. to see how they make their feed grinders. They went from making one grinder every 6-7 months to one every 3 months. The difference according to the owner was simple... "the right people". Not skills or technology, people.
