absenteeism...

Lots going on in the game class, but games outside the class continue to impact it.

This week we had the opening of our new, ten million dollar Performing Arts Center, with an open house and a celebration of the arts with music and art, choral, drama and debate students participating throughout the day and into the evening.

Our boys and girls basketball teams both qualified for the downstate state tournament, with the requisite busloads of students heading towards Charleston. Unfortunately for both of the teams they lost in the first round, so  it was only a short trip for the students. Those who had planned to stay for the weekend, were of course disappointed, as were the teams and the community.

The usual "senioritis"has set in as well, making the participation of outgoing seniors iffy at best.

Ah, the perils of high school  academics, held captive to the vagaries of... just about everything!
