Our Drayton wrestlers had an exceptional weekend at the 2025 Girls' State Tournament! Alyssa, entering as the 6th seed, battled hard and secured an impressive 7th place finish. Violet, also seeded 6th, pushed through to claim an outstanding 5th place finish. We couldn't be prouder of their determination, hard work, and dedication throughout the tournament. What a remarkable achievement! Alyssa wrapped up the season with a 39-12 record, while Violet finished at 31-18. Way to go, girls!

Today, we tip our hats to the man, the myth, the Ag legend—Mr. Riddle! 🤠👏 He works hard to make Ag education hands-on, engaging, and fun. So, if you see him today, give him a high five, a cup of coffee, or maybe just a moment of silence for all the times he’s had to say, “That’s not how you hold a chicken.” 🐓Thanks for all you do, Mr. Riddle! FFA wouldn’t be the same without you! 💙💛 #FFAWeek #AgTeacherAppreciationDay #RiddleMeThis

🩷Our high school foods class made Valentine’s Day extra special for our Pre-K students last week! The older students partnered with our littlest learners to decorate heart-shaped cookies, adding plenty of sprinkles, frosting, and love.
The Pre-K students had a blast creating their sweet treats to take home and sharing smiles with their big-kid buddies!🩷
