Congratulations to junior Holden McDonald who remains undefeated after bringing home the gold in the 126-lb. bracket of the Harvard Invite today. Way to go, Holden!
It has been a great week to celebrate being a Dragon...
The BB teams started out their seasons on the road against Dorchester and Silver Lake picking up 3️⃣ wins and 1️⃣ loss. Holden McDonald (126) went undefeated at the season opener quad at Thayer Central while Cooper Laaker went 1-2.
Mrs. Johnson's team won the chili cook off while students with no missing work celebrated with caramel apples provided by the guidance and office staff.
A presentation was held to gauge interest in having a county-wide 7-12 robotics team for Thayer County. Students are asked to contact Mrs. Epley if they are interested in this for the 24-25 school year (this year's DLS and DPS 6th-11th graders).
To top it off, seniors Stormi Capek and Allie Vieselmeyer added two $79,000 academic scholarships to their financial aid packages as they received offers from Concordia University.
Keep doing great things, Dragons!
