State Volleyball
Once again, congratulations to the Chickasaw Volleyball team for qualifying for the state tournament next week in Cedar Rapids. They earned their way there after beating North Fayette Valley, Waukon, and finally Camanche in the regional final. If you haven't had a chance to see them play yet this year, you have missed some awesome play by our girls. They have worked hard to get there and it shows when they play. They look like they are enjoying the game and everyone of them pumps up each other through the high points and the low points they encounter. It truly is fun to watch them. When they played Camanche, they were confident and kept digging in when they needed to in order to come out on top 3 games to 0.
They open the state tournament on Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. against. Tipton. This takes place in Cedar Rapids at the US Cellular Center. Here's some information on parking for the event. If you haven't seen them yet, this will be an ideal time to come cheer them on. These girls are fired up and ready to play. I look forward to the game.
Because of the game, we will not have school on Wednesday. We want everyone to be there to cheer on our team. The last time our volleyball team was in the state tournament was 1973. If they win on Wednesday, they will play again at 2:00 on Thursday. Of course, we will make sure everyone has the opportunity to attend. They are currently in the top 8 in the state in class 3A and knowing these girls, they are aiming for higher than #8. I wish them luck and hope to see you in Cedar Rapids next Wednesday.
GO CHICKASAWS!
Building Project
There's a lot of action on the building project today. I will post a number of pictures below. They are currently pouring the concrete for the floor in the upper level of the middle school, working on the supports for the bar joists for the gym, completing a retaining wall for the front of the building, preparing the AG/Industrial Tech area for the wall panels next week, and the plumbers and electricians are working in many areas of the project.
When they put in the wall panels for the Vocational Agriculture/Industrial Technology Building, we will need to close the driveway for the day as the trucks will need to park there when they are unloaded. Right now they are telling us it will be next Friday, November 9th when this will be happening. The parking lot will still be accessible from Hamilton. Thanks for everyone's patience and assistance as we complete our project. Here are a few pictures of things going on today.
