🏒💙 SEASON RECAP 💙🏒
Although the season came to an end today with a 1–3 loss to Rushmore, Ryleigh and the Mitchell Marlins had an incredible cheering section behind them every step of the way.
We are so proud of you, Ryleigh! Congratulations on an outstanding senior season and on earning Academic All-State honors — a tremendous accomplishment both on and off the ice! 👏🎉
Your hard work, leadership, and dedication have truly made a difference. The Marlins had a season to remember!
The fifth grade class had some very special visitors today. Don and Betty Woehl delivered hand-made patriotic scarves to each one of the fifth grade students. This is Don’s way of thanking the fifth grade class for writing letters to the area veterans. It takes Don about one full day to knit a scarf. We thank Don for his generosity for the expense, time, and talent to make these scarves.
