JM Speech had a crazy three days last week! We placed first at Big 9 by almost 100 points, had three alternates to the national speech tournament (Bhavya Yerriboyina, Eleanor Sievers, and Abigail Sievers), and placed second as a team at Owatonna (thank you Kelly Atwood for being our chaperone!). Finally, our assistant speech coach Sam Haefner was named New District Coach of the Year! (from Coach Claire Sagstuen)

The sun was out, the birds were chirping, and it felt like spring had officially sprung... but the inbox tells a different story. Ever since Jaycob took over "Snow Day Training" a few weeks ago (see the video here if you missed it: https://youtu.be/jPwjsoXBMy4?si=JZ9a1_58bleNVRNg), he’s been flooded with dozens of emails from students (and maybe a few parents 😉) asking for one thing: SNOW DAY.
Even our tiniest lobbyists are getting involved! Check out this video of Ms. Heil's kindergarteners making their formal plea to Jaycob: https://youtu.be/sIDZXtotrkA
Now, with a "historic winter storm" potentially hitting this Sunday into Monday, the whole district is asking the same question: WHAT WILL JAYCOB DO?
Stay tuned... the forecast is looking interesting...

This morning we held our first Rocket Role Models & Donuts. While the attendance was small, what was shared was awesome. Hopefully more can join us next time!




Mission College Bound included a family event last night, followed by a WSU campus visit today. The goal was to inform & expose our underclassmen with goals of participating in collegiate athletics upon graduation.
