Good evening Comet families! I’m reaching out to you tonight to give you a quick update on a couple of things.
We received one bid for the FFA barn but it was beyond our budget so we are working on soliciting more bids. My hope is that we will be able to get a couple more bids and vote on the construction piece at the board meeting on the 27th. We have already purchased the materials so it will be ready to go. Between the groundwork, surveys, architects, and materials we have spent over 80% of the grant money for the project so we are in good shape. I do apologize for it taking so long.
The second item to update you on is what to do with the old track. The board discussed this at our study session this week and they decided to just wait a while before making a decision. We know the community enjoys using the track.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Go Comets!

This is our third year of offering the Litchfield Regional Training Center Racing Challenge summer camp. This is a STEM focused summer camp that is offered to middle school and high school students. High School offered the week of July 21-24 and Middle School August 4-8. This is a great week of learning, at an extremely reasonable cost of $50 per student, due to sponsorships provided by local businesses.

Good afternoon Comet families. I wanted to let you know that bus 6 was involved in an accident today. No one was injured but they are going to switch out the bus. The replacement bus is on the way right now. However, as a result, bus 6 students will be a little late to their usual drop off times. Have a good evening.

Good evening Comet families. I wanted to make you aware of a situation that occurred earlier today. There was a chase involving the police and the suspect dumped the car next to the high school. The police did a sweep of the inside of the high school and found no one. In an abundance of caution, they will be there tomorrow morning as well. We want to thank the police department for their efforts in keeping our schools safe. Have a good evening.
