Boys SWC Bracket
Girls SWC Bracket
These are just some of the students who earned badger paws and positive office referrals last week. Way to go, Badgers! This week, we are focusing on including others.
SWC Basketball Tournament -
Girls will play in Minden on Monday Jan 21 @ 5:00 pm
Boys will play in Ogallala on Monday Jan 21 @ approximately 6:15 CT.
We will post official brackets tomorrow when we get them converted to correct format for our platforms.
The 7th grade science classes are going through Tech Lab Orientation. The Tech Lab is a non traditional approach to learning science.
We have had some inquiries about the SWC basketball tournament as far as location and times. The conference does the seeding next week based on power points as they want all games possible played to make sure the seedings are correct. Once they get those they will assign the brackets and we post them as quick as we can. Recently it was approved that all boys and girls game be played on Mondays and the conference is trying to secure officials for all the possible sites to make that possible. In years past we have alternated the boys and girls games on Mondays and Tuesdays but with such a tight schedule that week it was decided to allow a snow day during that week so they are hoping to move all games to Mondays from this point forward.
Saturday's basketball games in Ogallala - The JV boys will play in the Auditorium and all other games will be played at Prairie View Elementary School.
During the January 4 teacher in-service VHS teachers, led by Mrs Pilakowski, shared strategies and methods that they use to integrate technology in their instruction to enhance student engagement.
The girls JV game on Saturday vs Minden will only be 2 quarters due to low numbers for Minden. Please plan accordingly for the start of the Girls and Boys Varsity games.
