Attention 6th graders: If you were interested in trying NFL Pick Em, remember your pick em sheet is due by the end of the day Thursday. It is to be turned in with your First and Last name (and if on a team, all of your team members names as well) to the wall basket hanging outside of Mr. Monier's rooms. There will be weekly prizes and one overall season prize that is a free lunch of your choice somewhere in Geneseo. If any teachers are interested, you are more than welcome to participate as well. It is a good idea to take a picture of your picks so as you look at scores over the weekend you can compare it with your picks. We will grade the sheets next Wednesday morning at 7:40 in Mr. Monier's room. Good luck with those Week 1 picks!

Yesterday, Geneseo hosted the Cross Country Invitational at Richmond Hill on a warm 84-degree day. With 21 teams and over 400 runners, it was an exciting event! Our home course was tough with some brutal hills, but our teams tackled them head-on. A big shout out to our 7th-grade girls team, who finished 4th overall, and our 8th-grade girls, who ran an outstanding race and took 2nd place, with Charlize Watchel finishing in the top 10! Our 7th-grade boys brought home the win in their division, with Will Ehlert, Kyle Wirth, and Henry Woodward all placing in the top 10! Although our 8th-grade boys didn’t place, they all ran some personal best times for the season. Great job to all our runners for conquering the hills! We'll be back in action this Friday at the PV Invitational at Crow Creek Park in Bettendorf. Go Geneseo!
