National Hunting League Names Briggs Newest Member


At about 10:00 AM Saturday morning a deer makes a deadly mistake by running right in front of the newest master shooter "Briggs Kellogg" who acted quickly and accurately in his first time ever shot of a deer in wildlife. Excitement rang out for miles as he realized he had knocked it down in one shot. A cry of "YEAHHHH"... could be heard all around signaling to all other deer around to watch out for that strikingly handsome orange wearing "Man" of great aiming talent. It is said that the deer hung warning signs throughout all the land telling them to watch out for the "young beast" who is a quick shot and to this very day the deer still speak about this unknown wonder who shot young Billy Buck Jr. gone in one shot.

Big Band Sounds!!



We have just had our first band concert of this year. I am playing the French Horn for regular band and the trumpet for Jazz Band. Mr Johnson is our band teacher and he is awesome! We played some fun songs, but the best part of the whole night was spending time with my friends. My mom said she could tell the progress we have made these last couple of years. Mr Johnson had all three grades at this concert, ours played last and my mom said we were the best. This last summer I got a phone call to let me know that the band audition that we tried out for in 7th grade we got it, we are actually the only middle school band (in the state of Nebraska) to make it to this Conference. We were selected to perform at the 2008 NMEA In-Service Conference/Clinic to be held in Lincoln Nebraska on November 20-22, 2008. The acceptance letter said "congratulations on your acceptance to perform at the 2008 NMEA Conference/Clinic. The heart of a convention of music educators is the performing groups and the music they share with those in attendance.
Mr Johnson was so proud of his "little antlers" and their accomplishment!! Me too!!
The pictures aren't the best... but see if you can see me !!
