While some might think the school year winds down at most schools, at Belle Plaine things have certainly geared-up the last few weeks. After SICL conference meets in track and golf we had the NHS Inductions and the Underage Drinking Forum, followed that up this past week with Senior Awards Night, hosting the State Qualifying Track Meet, hosting Sectional Golf, and Graduation. All went great, and a big thanks and job well done to all who worked so hard to organize, plan, and manage those events.
Senior Awards night was held at the Kings Theatre in downtown Belle Plaine last Wednesday night in front of a full house of family and friends. Many awards were presented to the graduating class of 2014 and seniors class members received in excess of $135,000 in total scholarship money. What a great night for our seniors and their families.
On Thursday, Belle Plaine hosted the State Qualifying Track meet for Class 1A boys and girls teams. The Belle Plaine girls team finished 3rd as a team and qualified 4 events for the State Meet. The Belle Plaine boys took 1st place as a team and are sending 10 events to the State Meet. The Coed State Track Meet will be held May 23-25 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
The Belle Plaine Boys and Girls Golf teams also participated in conference and sectional golf meets in the last week. At conference the boys placed 4th while the girls took 6th. At the Sectional Meet held at Belle Plaine the boys team placed 4th and completed a very good season.
The week wrapped up on Sunday with Graduation ceremonies held in the gym at the High School. 41 seniors received diplomas and Cailtin Kithcart was awarded the Henry B. Tippie Scholarship to the University of Iowa. Lane Bachelder and Matthew Mengler were recognized as Valedictorians and Ross Henning as the Salutatorian. Congratulations to all the graduates and best of luck in the future.
The 2013-2014 school year comes to an end with all students on May 29.
