On Tuesday, August 18, the Metamora Grade School Junior High Boys & Girls Golf Team competed in the inaugural Peoria Christian Invitational at Mt. Hawley Country Club. Our golfers participated in a 9-hole match play scramble, providing a fun opportunity for our athletes to compete, work together, and showcase their skills.

Representing Metamora Grade School for the girls side was Mila Gerard, Blakely Bequette, Amelia Herald, Savannah Reach, Avery Winter, Carmen Craft, Hayden Reynolds, and Charlie Satterlee. For the boys side was Nolan Buerkett, Alvin Noll, Charlie Ballard, Kruz Heinold, Major Crispen, Zeek Gualandri, Jace Domenighini, Parker Noll, Hawkins McCoy, Brendan Lamkin, Grayson Bumeter, and Ronan Hanrahan.

Congratulations to Nolan Buerkett and Kruz Heinold and Zeek Gualandri and Alvin Noll for winning their match play scrambles against their opponents!

We are so proud of the way our Redbirds competed and represented our school! ❤️🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

MGS Parents who drive their kids to school: I know you're ready for student drop off and (maybe) pickup tomorrow!! Reminder, use Madison Street if you want to drop off your child without getting out of the car. Use the main lot only if you want to park and walk your child to/from the doors. See you tomorrow!

K Kickoff Invite!!!

Hello K Parents!!

The PTO would like to remind you of the K Kickoff Social this Sunday from 3:30PM-5PM. Due to the wet weather this past week and chances of rain Sunday this event will be moved INDOORS. Please enter through the double red doors and proceed to the Frisk gym just to the right of the foyer.

PTO will have some games, a coloring station, and a small treat. This is a fun, casual way to ease into the school year and meet some kindergarten classmates!

Thank you,
MGS PTO
