Metamora Kids Wrestling Club is hosting two registration dates. Sunday, October 25th from 5-7pm or Wednesday, October 28th from 6-8pm. Location is the Commons off Madison Street at Metamora High School. The club is open to boys and girls ages 5-14 years old. If you have a child that has never participated in wrestling before they are also offering two open gym opportunities: Monday, October 19th from 6-7pm or Wednesday, October 21st from 6-7pm.

How do 5th graders help Farmer Jack get apples from his orchard on a hill to his barn below when the tractor won't work? Why a zipline, of course!! 5B and 5D engineers had to build a "carrier" that would deliver Farmer Jack's apples to the barn without falling out of the carrier or without being damaged. The catch? They could only use the supplies provided, which meant they had to get creative. We also had to work with time constraints, overcome friction, and work as a team.

The school currently has limited power - we do not have phones at this time. If you need to reach the office please email us at secretaries@mgsredbirds.org. Ameren is working on this now so hopefully it will be back up soon!
