Congratulations to the Sweet Springs Greyhounds for their 3rd place finish in the I-70 Conference Tournament! Nice work, boys, Coach Lock, and Coach Hicks!

On Friday, April 17th, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Bus Inspection Program conducted their annual bus inspections at SSR7. All eight buses in our district fleet passed inspection with zero defects being noted. Special thanks to our maintenance and transportation departments for their diligent efforts to ensure our buses are safe and maintained appropriately for student transport.

Junior High students have been practicing filling out job applications, participating in mock interviews, and learning what to do with a paycheck. They have learned how to make a deposit, write a check, address an envelope, and keep track of their income and expenses. This financial knowledge advanced into learning about having a budget and saving, even utilizing an investment calculator to see how fast their money could grow if they saved it. The lesson ended with learning about taxes.

Baseball had a great win over W-N tonight. They will play on the RED field Wednesday at 7 pm. Softball will play at 6 pm v. Lone Jack on the YELLOW field. All games tomorrow will be at the Sports Complex in Concordia.

Softball game v. St. Paul tonight is cancelled. Softball will play the winner of the Wellington v. Lone Jack game tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Baseball plays Wellington at 5 p.m. @ Lone Jack

Thank you to our amazing bus drivers: Erin, Mary, John, Diane, Eric & Steven! We appreciate you!

Updated I-70 conference brackets. No games today, same times tomorrow.

Happy Administrative Assistant's Day!

It was a beautiful day for a track meet! Today, in appreciation of Matthew’s life and impact on the school, we officially named the high school home track meet the Matthew Wing Invitational track meet. Matthew Wing had a tremendous impact on our track program, school, and community. Matthew was a state qualifier in the 100m dash and still holds the school record for the 100m dash. We are so glad that the Wing family was able to join us today!

Sweet Springs Track & Field honored the senior track team members today at the Matthew Wing Invitational meet @ Sweet Springs. Thank you for your dedication and leadership. Best of luck in your future endeavors! #greyhoundgrit
