The Bon Homme Conservation District came to visit today to gift each third grader their own tree to plant in honor of Arbor Day! Each student also received a pouch of wildflower seed to plant to help our bee and butterfly population.

From Coach Rokusek: The varsity Trappers had a good day on the links today. The girls played in Burke where Kailin got 12th place, Macy finished in 9th place and Campbell brought home the 6th place medal. They finished 2nd as a team behind Platte Geddes. The boys played in Gregory where Brigham Rokusek was the low finisher for the boys with an 89. He missed placing by 2 shots. Erick Buechler (92) and Asher Sykora (94) both had personal best scores as well today. Keep up the hard work Trappers!!
