Due to a scheduling snafu, both HS basketball games were posted with game times of 7pm.
Tonight's home games vs. Mapleton, the boys team will play at 5:30 pm and the girls team will play at 7:00 pm. Sorry for any confusion.
Thank you, MRCS

Check out the fun we had at our 1st quarter assembly.
The goal for pet a palooza was to collect 500 lbs of pet food. We collected 916 lbs!!
Because our students exceeded their goals, Mr. Meister and Mr. Barrett agreed to eat crickets and chocolate-covered scorpions.
A big round of applause for their efforts!
