Yesterday the group on the left participated in a Technology Student Association Leadership Conference in Emporia. They took home some prizes and had a great time learning and meeting other clubs from around the state. The group on the right went to Flint Hills Technical College and Emporia State University on college visits at the same time. We are all grateful to everyone who made it possible - from the admissions officers at the schools, the TSA coordinators and especially Dale Hearn who got up at the crack of dawn to get us there!

The MS Wrestling at Pratt this afternoon has been moved to tomorrow, February 18.

Tomorrow's breakfast has been changed to Pancakes instead of the Cinnamon Stick.
