Today the eighth graders received their desk privileges back in math teacher Kylee Armentas room. They have been standing to work for more than a month since some behavioral issues brought about this unique disciplinary measure. I made them all name tags to show ownership for something they had gained, Armenta said. Maybe in the future they wont take for granted what the school provides for them.

Junior Chelsey Lamb practices her shooting form in preparation for the basketball clinic that is to be held in the big gym on Nov. 5. The Ettes will be running the fundamentals clinic for grades kindergarten through sixth.

Admission is $15 per student and includes free entry at the Ettes home basketball game on Jan. 13.
