It’s that time again, when the big hitters come out. No not the baseball, I am talking about tennis! We are going to have a great season this year. We have some of our old breed coming back stronger than ever. Leading the way is our own Chris Beckett. He is our 1st singles player followed by a great back up squad. Mitchell Howell, Josh Chisholm, Mike Fructose, Michael Haskell, and Nathan Christensen are all coming back to show they mean business, many of them ranking in the Region competition last year. We also have some new blood coming in that are very talented.

The event of Mr. Skyhawk just passed through, unveiling new winners. The contest consisted of 14 different but studly young men. Weekly activities went on during the week such as Kiss-A-King, Limbo and the Sexy Leg Contest. However, the grand finale was the show on Saturday. The show consisted of a polished jungle dance choreographed by Nikki Ereksen and was followed by the talents of each individual. It was highlighted by contestants choosing to dance, sing or anything else that they are unusually talented at.

Mr. Thompson recently received an e-mail. It was different than his others though, this was about winning the Teacher of the Year award. It starts off with teachers nominating each other and then as they get deeper they have a poll of teachers that people can select and then they choose. Mr. Thompson came out on top. Thompson teaches mostly psychology classes and is also the coach for the track team. He felt honored that he was chosen but at the same time just keeps on doing what he is doing. No wonder he was picked.
