We apologize for the confusion and failed to realize when scheduling last spring that MS will not have started practice yet.
Thanks and have a good week!

PLEASE READ message to follow in regard the April 2025 Election Proposition KIDS.....
Due to an error by the Buchanan County Clerk's Office we've had to put the current project on hold and file for an election August 5, 2025 to rerun the exact same ballot. The election error prevents the sale of the $2M of bonds approved in April by the voters. The August 2025 ballot will simply be asking the voters to approve the same measure for the same $2M. We will proceed with proposals, etc. for project but cannot obligate funds until election and sales of bonds is approved. We will post reminders and additional information this summer including reminders as August 5 approaches. . Please contact me at 685-3160 with any questions.
