Bomber Speech competed at the Region III tournament on Saturday in Hillsboro. Participants faced tough competition, but finished strong by each placing in at least one of their events. Stephanie Kissee earned a third place finish in Speech-to-Persuade, narrowly missing state qualification. Jonah Rarick was awarded a 6th place finish in Speech-to-Inform and an 8th place finish in Impromptu Speaking. Bomber coach Jamie Rarick was also honored with the CSTAND Region III Coach of the Year. This is voted on by coaches of the Communication Speech and Theater Association of North Dakota. The team would like to thank everyone who supported them throughout the season. We look forward to next year, Go Bombers!

4-H is coming to Drayton!
Drayton! 4-H is looking for some awesome kids ages 5-18!
If you’ve never heard of 4-H, it is a youth development program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It offers hands-on learning experiences in areas like technology & science, agriculture, career education, and civic engagement with the goal of empowering young people to reach their full potential.
If you have students in the sewing club, FFA, and/or FCCLA, and the soon-to-be cooking club for K-6, 4-H is a sure fit! Projects in any of the clubs benefit the other clubs and provide a firm background in the projects chosen.
There will be an informational meeting on April 29th at 7 pm in the FACS room (please enter on the north side of the school and come in Door #8). Contact Shelly Quimby at shelly.quimby@dps19.com
School 454-3324 ext 223 or 701-317-1211, or on Facebook.
