Mrs. B and her English IV class would like to give a special thank you to Mason County Pets Without Parents for allowing them to visit and interact with the animals for a specialized writing project! Be on the lookout for Adoption Profiles the students have made because this homecoming might just be for the animals too!! 🐾

Let's have a great HOCO football game by remembering: ✅ Good sportsmanship ✅ To pick up our trash ✅ Kids that are playing should be outside the fence on the practice field ✅ The practice field is not supervised ✅ That "All Ducks Fly Together"

Due to various circumstances, including the rain and amount of available sunlight, the Powder Puff Game scheduled for tonight has been moved to Friday during the school day and will be played on the practice football field. We will share more details once we have determined the exact schedule.

Students are also advised to take into consideration the forecasted rain over the next couple of days and the impact it will have on the tree decorating activities they may or may not have planned. Alternate plans may be necessary.😁

The HHS cross country competed in the Prairieland Conference meet yesterday in Farmington. Earning All-Conference honors was Kasyn Jibben who finished 1st. Also, congrats to Maddy Snedeker, Ruger Hilst, and Locke Day for running all time PRs. Go Ducks!

Today was an "Attendance Surprise Day" at New Central.

Students were greeted by staff holding signs and waving pom-poms. During lunch recess, high school student leaders came to hang out with our students and help put on temporary tattoos. Students also enjoyed music, dancing and chalk on the blacktop. Thank you to the high school for partnering with us to make this fun day possible.

You never know what surprise we might have in store at New Central, so we encourage you to come every day you are healthy enough to be here!

Pre-K Paraprofessional Needed! Please visit our website for more information.

Big shoutout to Ruger Hilst who ran his career PR last week at Lake Pittsfield for the HHS cross country team. Go Ducks!
