Boys basketball finished up the middle of a three-week run and the sixth grade band camp reached its two-week conclusion. Color Guard also had its kids camp, prepping cadets as part of the week-long Junior Guard Camp!
Marching band and boys basketball camps start up July 10. Cheerleading also had a mini camp for its junior and senior high cheerleaders, ahead of the kids camp coming in July.
Volleyball will take the stage this week with its new coach, Madeline Gawthrop, leading the way.
And special thanks to Lily Treat for the cheerleading stunt photo!
