Bring in beach shovels, playing cards, sunscreen, coloring books, beach toys and more. Collection boxes are in the main office, the CRT Office, and Mrs. Thompson’s room A168.

For Sports:
The Maryland High School Rodeo team traveled to Allentown, New Jersey this past weekend while competing in the March Madness Rodeo. Freshman Jayden Garton had her fastest time ever in barrel racing during a competition. She earned points in pole bending and barrel racing. Freshman Brooke Warren earned a fourth place finish in Barrels and Pole bending on Saturday for the state of Maryland. Brooke also earned a sixth place finish in goat tying, fifth place in pole bending, and a seventh place in barrels for Sundays performance.
Congratulations to all those who participated. While not a “school” team, we find that it’s important to recognize all our student athletes. Want to know more about the High School Rodeo team, please see Mrs. Warren.
