Linn Schools

This is School Counselor Week. Linn Schools would like to thank Mr. Voelker for all he does to help both staff and students. You are appreciated.

Thanks to Dan and Eli Thalmann for a birds eye view of the gym. So excited with the progress.

The Juniors are currently working on their Career Projects. Each junior has selected a career of interest which they are thoroughly researching. A job shadow experience has helped them learn more about the chosen occupation. On Thursday, February 18th at 7:00 pm, the juniors will each give a presentation on their career to all the parents of the juniors. The presentations will be given at school. (I planned on having them in the library, but we may move to the gym.) We are expecting all parents or guardians of juniors to attend. The juniors have put a lot of work into this, please come and support them.

Information for tonight's HS BB game at Washington County.
