*Big Buck Contest* I know many students pleaded with me to cancel school tomorrow for opening day (see picture). Although, I couldn't cancel school I am going to host a big buck contest for students in grades 9-12 and 6-8. The winning student in each level will receive a prize from me and the overall biggest buck taken by a student will receive a trophy! The contest will run for the length of the regular firearm season Nov. 15-30. Make sure to email me a picture or show me a picture when you get to school. I want to wish all of the hunters the best of luck tomorrow. Stay safe and enjoy the time in the woods and the time with family and friends! Mr. McDowell
