On Oct. 8th, the dance team got up early to show their support at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. They started the morning by helping to set up and pass out t-shirts. Then they cheered on the sidelines during the survivor walk and finished up by showing support during the walk. Bailey Bannister, a member of the dance team, gets involved every year and this year encouraged her team to join her. The Race for the Cure is the world’s largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer ever created. The event raises funds and awareness for breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Thank you dance team for volunteering your time!

Congratulations to Tessa Skelton for placing 10th in the Junior High State Cross Country Meet held at Papillion La Vista South on Saturday.

The Introduction to Theatre and Communications classes enjoyed spending time with visitors from Autumn Pointe. The Theatre students did a great job presenting a dramatic reading of the “Spider and the Fly” by Mary Howitt and entertaining the Autumn Pointe residents with some theater games. The Communications students sharpened their presenting, conversing, and listening skills with more personal interactions with the residents. A wonderful time was had by all!
