Congratulations to Aurianna and K'Dynce for being named our PBIS Students of the Week. We appreciate the positive energy and hard work you both bring to our school every day.
In Mrs. Sabers' HS STEAM class, students stayed busy designing and building cars powered only by balloons and recycled materials. After some intense testing and racing, Riley and Mason took home first place, followed by Tristin in second and Haven in third.
Our boys and girls basketball teams had the amazing opportunity to play at the Target Center recently. It was a historic night as Luca Beske set the all-time scoring record for Lake Park Audubon Boys Basketball.
We also want to recognize Mara Bestge for her incredible creativity. Her original comic strip, titled "Walk," has been selected to be published in the Lakes Country Connection.
