Tomorrow between the 2 district games we will honor our senior basketball players and their parents. We anticipate this to begin around 1:45 to 2:00 pm. Track, CC softball and baseball will be done this Spring. We will send out information when we have a solid date.
District games will be broadcast on MSHSAA TV. There will be a fee of $10.00 per game, this is payable to MSHSAA. We can't stream as we normally do for Dawg Pack. He is going to do it but it has to be behind the MSHSAA platform, not an ideal situation but we do get to broadcast
As of right now we still plan on having district basketball Saturday. One thing to remember is that while we are managing the district, if other schools do not feel comfortable playing, we have to do what we can for safety. Updates will come as soon as we have them.
Van Buren R-1 School District will be out the remainder of this week due to snow.
Thursday, February 18th will be AMI day #6. Friday, February 19th will be an inclement weather day with NO AMI work. Enjoy your snow day!
