Dear Roadrunner,

Happy Tuesday!

There is a great feel on campus as we are moving ahead into second quarter. Thank you to our senior families, coaches and Kris Sippel, Jr. in the athletic department for putting together amazing senior night celebrations on campus for our student-athletes!

This Friday Coach Cartwright and our region champion football team travels north to face St. Johns in a regional champion crossover game while volleyball is on the road Wednesday playing rivals Gilbert Classical as high school fall sports march towards the playoffs.

Congratulations to our Roadrunner swimmers who have qualified for the AIA State Swim meet: Presely Tosko, our boys 200-meter freestyle relay team and Bryson Stewart!
