Wednesday, November 29th Bus Routes will be combined.
The annual "Dinner and a Show" is coming up this week, and it's going to be a good one! The performance this year will be "Elf the Musical," and Mr. Hubbard and the kids have been hard at work making sure that this year's show will be a great one. As they did last year, they will also have a dinner before the show.
Smoked ham and all the fixings will be served both Friday and Saturday evening beginning at 5:00pm, with the curtains opening for the show at 7:00pm. The final performance will be on Sunday at 3:00pm, though there will not be dinner served that day.
For tickets, follow the link below, or head over to the district website and follow the link on the homepage. We look forward to seeing you all at the show!

The FFA Greenhand team went to the leadership conference last week and competed in several different events. The team did quite well, finishing finishing as one of the top teams overall in the competition. Here are the different events the team participated in and the results:
- In the Greenhand Rituals (opening and closing ceremonies), the team took 1st place overall.
- In the Greenhand Information test (50 questions over FFA history and Parliamentary Procedure rules) the team took 2nd place, with Xavier Berges winning the competition individually and Adalei Conley finishing 3rd.
- Greenhand Masters of Ritual saw two individuals take home top honors in their specific category. Willow Hochstedler received Greenhand Master Secretary, and Laney Marten received Greenhand Master Reporter.
- During Par Law (holding a meeting and following parliamentary procedure to pass a main motion), the team took 5th place.
- Overall, the team took 2nd place in the entire competition.
Congratulations to the freshmen FFA Greenhand team!

Communication is one of the most important skills employers look for in an employee. In Ms. Cromer’s Business Communication class, the students are honing their “sending and receiving” communication skills through an exercise called “Describe and Draw.” Sitting back-to-back, the sender describes an object (without saying what it is) and the receiver must draw the object based on the information they receive. Mr. O’Dell joined this week’s exercise as the receiver of the information that the sender, Emilee Nesbitt, provided. Both sender and receiver successfully communicated the object – a green plastic tape dispenser!
Thanksgiving break is coming up, here is the activities outlook for the week!
The Twin Valley League has announced its All-League teams for the 2023 season, and three Buffaloes find themselves on the list. Senior Tatum Lara was tabbed a 2nd Team All-League defensive lineman, and he was joined by juniors Jackson Kolterman and Dylan Magnett. Jackson was selected to the 1st Team as a defensive back, while Dylan made the 1st Team as both an offensive lineman and defensive lineman. It is the first All-League honors for all three athletes.
Congratulations to Tatum, Jackson and Dylan on great seasons!
The junior high basketball teams are in action tonight for the second time this week and at home for the first time this season, as they play host to Doniphan West in a league matchup.

After those games conclude, the A-team boys will play in the north gym and the B-team girls will play in the south.
Good luck to both teams tonight! GO BUFFALOES!!!

Junior high basketball parents, there has been a change to the schedule of the games tonight in Frankfort. The B-team boys game will still start at 6:00pm, but will now only be two quarters. After that, the A-team will take a longer warmup, then they will start their game. This means that the A-team game will more than likely start earlier than usual.
It's World Kindness Day today!
