Did you know that South Elementary's own Berkley Waters was one of the youngest females to compete in barrel racing at the Junior World Finals in Las Vegas in December? She has been a competitive barrel racer since she was seven years old, and her total earnings to date are over $10,000! We're impressed, Berkley!

Congratulations to South Elementary Pirate Ally Miller, who received a first place ribbon at the World Taxidermy Competition last weekend! Ally has competed with her piece, a grey fox, in several state shows, receiving additional ribbons and the Most Outstanding Youth honor! Way to go, Ally!
