Football season officially started last week with our first varsity game against Smoking for Jesus right here in Cherokee. According to Coach White, “Gunner Baugh played well on offense and defense and scored on a 25-yard pass from Joel Valdez. Valdez had 3 rushing touchdowns and 1 passing. Cayden Houston had 6 touches, scored 2 touchdowns, and accounted for over 100 yards of offense. Cherokee defense played really well only allowing one first down all night.” The Indians were victorious with a score of 59-6.

Academic progress reports went out early this week, so make sure you have seen your student’s grades. Progress reports can be such a useful tool in identifying areas that need work and celebrating areas that are strong. Keep an open communication with your child’s teacher to help the student grow.
Have a great week!
