Miss Stutzman's kindergartners completed a gourd observation activity. They drew a picture of how their gourd looked, described how it felt, and even estimated how high it was. Such an amazing way for them to learn basic skills! #morencibulldogs

🎶Last Saturday, four students from our band program took part in Band Day at Siena Heights University. Gabriel Easler (trumpet), Alex Moore (trumpet), Harrison Sarnac (French horn), and Tessa Zuvers (clarinet) proudly represented the Morenci Area Schools Marching Band. Guided by SHU Band Director Dan Kesterke, these students showcased their talents during both the pregame performance and halftime show.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Kesterke and all the members of the SHU band for providing this exceptional experience!
