Thursday was the final regular season golf tournament of the year and they went out on a high note! Swink Golf won the boys champions at the Eads Invitational. It was our first win of the year. We also had two medalists: Brody Bauserman and Jake Gacnik tied for 2nd with a 79! Brody won a scorecard tiebreaker It was the final tournament for seniors Jackson Leitner and Kaleb Malden. Jackson went out as a champion and notched another round under 100! Kaleb was another key contributor to the win. JV played hard in a field of varsity teams. Cash White led them to another solid performance. Keeston White and Ari Davis tied their excellent previous round at Eads Golf Course, while Liam Bay improved on his!

Freshman FFA Members took on the challenge of designing the FFA Official Dress to understand all of the components. They look pretty sharp. We can't wait to see them in the actual FFA Official Dress.

The Swink FFA Chapter had their POA Committee (Program of Activities) Meeting as they broke out into the three areas to plan the year's activities. We also want to thank Mrs. Schurr on this special day of National Teach AG Day.

Such a fun day at lunch for 2nd grade, as each 2nd grader was allowed to invite parents, guardians, grandparents, etc to have lunch with them. This new program is paid for in part by the School Health Professional grant the district received, with a focus of this component on family engagement.

Throughout the year, each elementary grade will have this fun lunch opportunity. Be on the lookout during the respective month for an invitation.
3rd Grade: Thursday, October 15
Kindergarten: Thursday, January 21
1st Grade: Thursday, February 25
4th Grade: Thursday, March 25
5th Grade: Thursday, April 22

Thank you to Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Landis for coordinating this for our families.
