It's not an April fool's joke - the school website may be unavailable or unable to load this morning. We are doing some maintenance and adding some new features today. When it is back online, we hope you'll think it is the best version yet!
Reminder... Freshmen: We will be leaving school at 8:00 am tomorrow for the Holdrege Career Fair. You will be required to wear a mask. They would also like you to please dress professionally. We will return to school at lunch time. Please let me know if you have questions!
The Falcon boys and girls basketball teams are excited to announce a summer basketball camp opportunity for boys and girls who will be entering grades 3-12 next year. We have partnered with Midwest Elite Basketball (https://midwestelitebasketball.com/) to put on a camp for boys and girls who will be entering grades 7-12 next school year, as well as boys and girls who will be entering grades 3-6. These 2-hour camps will both take place June 7th-9th; exact times will not be known until late April.
Students entering grades 7-12 should check the "Two-for-One Camp" option on the registration form and return that to Coach Whipkey. Students registering for that camp do not need to submit a check for the camp at this time; we will be having a fundraising meeting during lunch on April 13th as a way to help off-set some of the cost of the camp.
Students entering grades 3-6 should check the "Future Stars: 3-Day Camp" option on the registration form. Those registration forms, along with a $55 check per camper (made out to either Wilcox-Hildreth Girls Basketball or Wilcox-Hildreth Boys Basketball), can be returned to Coach Whipkey at the school in Wilcox. If you have any questions, please e-mail Coach Whipkey.
