On this Friday of National School Counselors Week, we'd like to shine a spotlight on ours, Mrs. Fischer! She decided to become a counselor because she had an amazing one when she was in middle school and knew she wanted to have a similar positive impact on student's lives. She collects snow globes, enjoys lawn mowing, can sing along to Paula Abdul, and is one of the few folks who fully appreciates the underrated 90's film, Broken Arrow. Thank you for all you do for our students and school, Mrs. Fischer!
The cheerleaders will be set up tonight to sell raffle tickets for their quilt fundraiser! Find us in the new gym common area and purchase your tickets today!
The Trapper Cheerleaders are raffling off a quilt. Get your tickets from any basketball cheerleader - tickets are $5 for 1 ticket or $10 for 3 tickets. The drawing will be held on Friday February 14th during halftime of the varsity boy's game at the double header against Gregory in Scotland. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Coach Sternhagen at 605-387-5161 or carly.sternhagen@k12.sd.us
