At our last U.S. Military History Club meeting, our students learned about the Revolutionary War. Afterwards, while discussing the importance of the U.S. Constitution, they drafted their own constitutions for how they would re-govern the school. Afterwards, they signed their constitutions by trying to write with a calligraphy pen and an inkwell.
These 4-H club members braved the cold on Monday to attend the Navarro County consumer decision-making contest. Congratulations to Matthew for his team winning first place in the clover division. Congratulations to Benjamin and Levi for their team winning first place in the intermediate division. All of these students are eligible to compete at the District competition in April.
We are blessed to be able to offer the Little Flowers Girls' Club and the Blue Knights Boys' Club for our students. Both of these clubs strived to weave faith, fun, and friendships into each meeting.
