Girls Varsity Volleyball falls to Bronson 3 - 0 in Regional Semi-Finals.
The Lady Panthers fell short in the semi-finals of Regional play against the Bonson Vikings yesterday. In sets one and two the Panthers battled but struggled to grab the lead and control the game.

The Panthers still have much to celebrate this season. This group of fifteen athletes captured a District title that they can call their own. Huge Congratulations!

Today we celebrate Veterans’ Day, which is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.[b][1][2] It began, and now coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are commemorated in other countries, marking the anniversary of the end of World War I.[3] Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.[4]
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while Memorial Day specifically honors those who have died while in military service.[5]
To our local veterans–We Thank you for your sacrifices and hard work in service to our country. We appreciate how hard you worked to ensure that we continue to enjoy our freedoms. At this time, please join me in a moment of silence as Sam Roland and Aaron Alvarado play Taps.
At this time we ask you to stand. The privilege of this day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us respect and honor their efforts by standing, placing our hands on our hearts, and reciting the pledge of allegiance. If you are wearing a hat, please remove it. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

After high school I plan to go to a university, preferably in a city. I am undecided, but I would love to go into journalism or directing/screenwriting. I have applied to many colleges and I am just now getting acceptance letters back! I love being a WHS Panther because of the staff. Everyone in the building is very nice and welcoming, and I am close with many teachers who have become mentors for me.
