A big congratulations goes out to Travis Cook! He had the opportunity to attend the NASP World Championship Archery Tournament this weekend in Daytona. He did an amazing job of representing our school in several competitions. Travis competed on Friday evening in the scholarship shoot off and finished 2nd. He earned a $4,000 scholarship from this shoot off. He also competed in Bullseye and 3D competitions where he shot a 292 and 288 on Saturday. He finished 12th in the Bullseye competition and 36th in the 3D. We are very excited to allow him this opportunity to travel and earn additional scholarship money from NASP. He will add this scholarship to his $2,000 earned earlier in the year from his State Tournament performance!
While in Daytona, he also got to enjoy the beach, explore downtown, and ride the slingshot.
Way to go Travis!! We are so proud of you!

The following resources can help your family learn more about water safety and connect you with local opportunities for training and education. If you have any questions about these topics, please reach out to us or one of the organizations listed above. The Red Cross believes, and Lead Hill School agrees, that by working together to improve water competency (including swimming skills, water smarts, and helping others), water activities can be safer and just as much fun!
School's out for the summer! Have a safe & happy summer break and we'll see you next year, Tigers!! 🌞🐯
