8th grade Science students participated in a lab last week about cow reproductive organs. Thank you Mr. Stanford and Mrs. Willis for bringing Science to life for our students.
We are excited about this new tradition that begins this year! We are starting a "School Dual" this year with Cherryvale. This will be a wrestling dual that occurs during the school day to help bring some school spirit to both the schools. In its inaugural year Cherryvale will host at Thayer Elementary/Middle School. Coach Camacho (Indy) and Coach Lickteig (Cherryvale) have done a great job of helping create this event. Next year, this event will be held in Indy! Come out on 11/1 to watch these athletes compete! #TheBulldogWay
