Trey Harbour placed 1st with his lightweight Southdown and Kenny Warrick placed 8th with his medium wool lamb to round out the State Fair lamb show.
First class of the day brought us a win! Bracy Foote, 4th place Dorper market lamb at the state fair. That qualifies her for the sale!
October 5th-8th the Civic Center will be hosting jury trials. Our Gatesville bus riders will need to use the entrance near the apartment complex to enter the ball fields. The main entrance by the Ag office will be closed.
The City of Gatesville wanted everyone to be aware of the change in driving patterns and the extra traffic in the parking lots.

Monday, September 14th, and Tuesday, September 15th, students in grades 3-10 will be taking a practice math and reading benchmark test. These tests are to gauge their knowledge on their current year material and understanding.
Please encourage your child to do their best on these tests and not get overwhelmed. While we do not expect anyone to understand all the material presented in the tests, we do expect students to work hard.
With the knowledge gained from these tests we will be able to better direct their learning in the classroom.
Due to changes in the FDA regulations, beginning Monday, September 14, 2020, all meals will be free for all students. This will continue until December 31, 2020 or bearing changes to FDA regulations.
