When the school year began, I didn't know what to expect, and I for sure didn't know whether we would be able to stay IN school for very long. Actually, we have made it 12 weeks without too much disruption. There have been students in and out of remote learning because of being close contacts to positive cases, but for the most part, we have been able to have school in a fairly normal fashion. This could change soon because cases are rising exponentially around our state and the country. Hospitals are full, and I don't know what that means for the upcoming winter. If we've learned anything this year, it has that we have to be flexible!

Chelan, Caiden, and I made a trip to K-State for a college visit. It is hard to believe that we are ready for this already! We had a great day with a great tour guide - thanks, Cale! We were able to visit the College of Ag.; specifically, the ATM building. It was a trip down memory lane for Chelan, too, as this was his area during college.

We voted early this year - through the mail. The actual election on Nov. 3 was like no other! It took nearly 4 days to project a winner, though things seemed to be heading in Joe Biden's direction as mail-in ballots were counted. The country is pretty divided, but I try to remain hopeful. And I hope that decency has been restored to the office of president - at least for the next 4 years. The biggest news from the election, though, was the fact that Kamala Harris was elected as the first female, person of color, and Indian Vice President in our country's history. What a historic moment - and one I want my girls to remember!
The football team had a fantastic year - winning their region and finishing as runners-up in their section! It ties for the longest play-off run in our school's history! Even though Caiden wasn't able to play through the season, it was fun to keep cheering them on. They will remember their double overtime win over Pratt Skyline for a long time!
Before their big win in Pratt, the students had a fun send-off for the team!
We still have one child in the family who enjoys Halloween, so this year, Delaney and her friends planned to trick-or-treat together. With Covid hanging around, a few of the houses had some pretty ingenious ways to offer candy: a clothesline at the Stucky house, and a staircase tube at the Guhrs!
