Last week was a short but very busy week here at Cherokee ISD. The fifth graders went to San Saba for Agricultural Safety Day. They had a lot of fun and learned so much. A big thanks goes to the LCRA for putting this event together each year.

In sports news, the junior high football team played against Zephyr here in Cherokee. In the first quarter Eric Miller scored 3 touchdowns.
