Sundown Athletes we’re invited to hear Bradley Adkins at the end of the year FCA event held at the home of Coach Gleason! Students were treated to a couple of games including Kan Jam (frisbee game), and spike ball. Over 40 students were in attendance and heard a message from High Jump Olympian and Idalou Native, Bradley Adkins. Adkins was a 2016 Olympic Athlete competing in High Jump. He was an NCAA Outdoor Champion as a Texas Tech Red Raider, and jumped 7 feet 6 inches during his time in Rio at the 2016 Olympics. He is now an Area Representative for FCA, and shared a great word to our students.
We are so proud of our Academic State Qualifiers!!! Congratulations to:
Brooklyn Webb - Mathematics and Number Sense
JoAnna McAdams - News Writing
