Good Luck to our Wrestlers who are going to the State Tournament! We are SO PROUD and excited to be a part of your community!! Today we had a pepfest to send our love and support.

 Introducing our 2015 Milaca Wrestlers ...

They ran out to the center of the gym and threw t-shirts!

 Each wrestler was introduced and walked to the center of the gym so we could cheer.

 Then they introduced the individual wrestlers who were competing at the tournament.

 We liked where they dimmed the lights in the gym and showed a video (created by a high school student!) of some of the highlights from the season.

We have about 1800 students in our school and another 200 staff members. It is such a thrill to have our 2000 people in the gym at one time and place. We talked about how Milaca has a population of about 2700 people. We are thankful for the contributions of the communities of Foreston, Pease, Ogilvie, Onamia, Hillman, Bock, Princeton, Estes Brook, Oak Park, Foley, and more that make our school so amazing!!

It is always a thrill when we have high school students achieve! Many of these were in our classrooms, many of these students are family members, neighbors, and special people. There are SO MANY activities to join in high school. Each has their own celebrations and opportunities to succeed. We hope today's pepfest inspires our fourth grade students to dream their own dreams! Start dreaming!! In four to eight years, we can't WAIT to cheer for YOU!!
