Congratulations to the Bothwell Girl's 7th and 8th Grade Track Team. They finished first place in the UP Region 8 Track Meet!

Always one of our favorite days in 5th at Superior Hills! The annual Wax Museum! The fifth graders worked hard on their speeches and presentations! Thank you to our 3rd and 4th grade classes and all of our families for coming to watch! It was a wonderful afternoon!💙🐾

After a long few days, 75 Sandy Knoll 4th and 5th graders finally got to participate in the elementary track meet. This meet is a lot of work. Ms. Sabin not only coaches the SK team, with the help of Mrs. Maxon, but also is the lead coordinator of the whole meet. A special thanks to everyone that helped out at practice and the meet and way to go athletes! You all were amazing! 🏆🎉👏💪🏽🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
