Yesterday, 6th graders were challenged to save Fred. They could not touch anything except the paper clips with their hands. They had to get Fred inside his boat which had capsized and get the life preserver around Fred. It was quite the challenge, but they had fun.
🏈Attention Football and Softball Parents/Players🥎. Due to excessive heat warnings this week football practices for both JH and HS have been moved to 5AM-7AM.

Softball at Leeton will remain the same in the afternoons and will move indoors if the wet bulb is outside of safe parameters.
Any changes to this plan will be communicated to you as the week progresses. Thank you for understanding.
