East End Events
May 9, 2003
This past week was a very busy one for most of us. The high school competed in the Tribune JV track meet on Monday. On Wednesday the junior and senior high school both competed in the league track meet in Mc Clave. Luckily the weather was cooperative. However, the elementary track meet was rained out on Friday. The regional track meet will be this Thursday in Springfield.
Our junior/senior banquet and Prom was a success again this year. After working all week decorating and preparing for the event, it was nice to be able to enjoy it. Everyone looked very nice. Following the dance, most of us attended Post Prom. We played bingo for prizes and then went out to the football field to Paintball. Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way with Prom as well as Post Prom.
