Congratulations to the Middle School Winter Guard on their 1st Place Win Saturday, March 27th at Willard HS. 15 students have worked very hard through the months of December to March to perfect their skills and talents.

The unit is directed by Brian Penny with asstance from Liz Wohletz, Rachelle Geddes, Kim Kras & Amanda Moore*
