Student Council delivers donations to Humane Society

Student Council delivered all of the donations to the Humane Society just before Christmas vacation started. They loaded and unloaded the bus with the help of driver Bill Miller. After the work was finished, Humane Society employee Monique gave us a tour of the facility. Although it was fun to see all of the animals, the cat house was everyone's favorite place. These particular cats were not kept in cages. Instead, they roamed the cat house and loved having visitors to play with.

Student Council Fun!

The Student Council at Fred Assam Elementary is the most creative group of students I've ever seen! They decided that instead of just handing out candy canes to all of the students this year ~ they would entertain them as well! Student Council President Max played Santa; Danica, Carley, Emily, and Sierra were Santa's elves; and Logan, Austin, Will, Caleb, and Courtney were the reindeer.

Take em down! Hold em! Squeeeeeeeeze!

Meet the wrestlers from Fred Assam Elementary! I had the pleasure of watching them wrestle at yesterday's Brandon Valley wrestling tournament held at the high school in Brandon. These guys are amazing! Isaac ~ 2nd grade; Sabrien ~ 1st grade; Creighton ~ 5th grade; Karson ~ 1st grade; Cole ~ 5th grade; Holdyn ~ junior kindergarten.

Many spectators filled the new BVHS gymnasium on Sunday. There were wrestlers from as far as 2+ hours away from Brandon that came for the event. I tried to take a picture from the top bleacher as I looked down over the wrestling mats, but my camera chose not to cooperate with me. Sorry for no "action" pictures, guys! My bad!
