The boys golf season is now about halfway through, and tournaments are well underway. Here is a recap of the season so far: 1st Tournament – Bonner Springs Invitational: The team opened the season at Sunflower Hills, showing strong potential with a team score of 345. Lachlan McRae led the way with a 78, earning 3rd place as an individual. The team finished 6th overall but learned valuable lessons about the importance of signing the correct scorecard and playing the proper ball. Continued improvement and focus will be key. 2nd Tournament – Firekeeper (Hosted by Royal Valley): At one of Kansas’ finest courses, the team performed well, finishing 3rd with a score of 351. Luke McRae led with an 84, while Gavin Reischman and Lachlan McRae contributed solid rounds of 87. Coach Joe provided excellent guidance throughout. The team continues to build on its progress. 3rd Tournament – Oakwood (Hosted by Mill Valley): Competing in a primarily 5A and 6A field, the team placed 11th with a score of 356. Zac Fisher led the team with an 83. The boys recognize the need for continued effort and development to stay competitive at this level. 4th Tournament – Wamego Country Club: The team secured 3rd place, trailing only Towanda Circle and Wamego—two strong contenders likely to qualify for state. Luke McRae once again led with an 85, followed by Gavin Reischman (89) and Zac Fisher (87). The team is motivated to improve and close the gap on top-tier programs. Junior Varsity – Piper Tournament: The JV squad also competed recently, with Cameron Wensel leading the way with a 93. The team will return to action on Monday at tournaments in Manhattan and Bonner Springs. Thanks to everyone for the continued support and encouragement throughout the season! #tongienation #usd464

Students in Profe McQueen's Spanish I classes are participating in Señor Wooly's Spring Fling with a unit called "Billy La Bufanda" -- a scarf who goes on adventures. Their first activity was Conversation Cards in which they asked and answered questions using new vocabulary. Then, they read descriptions on their postcard papers and matched them to the countries on the slides. Finally, they participated in a fast round of Finish the Sentence by listening to Profe's sentences and stating the matching countries. #tongienation #usd464
