Herington USD 487 -

The MS Railer football team scored all their points in the 2nd half but fell short to RV 22-52.

The Railer A team competed to the end but dropped their match with RV 13-25, 19-25.

Congrats to the casts of "The Lottery" and "12 Angry Jurors" for their roles!

We are going dramatic this year and the HHS Thespian Troupe #13342 couldn't be more excited!

“The Lottery” is a story about what can happen when a society stops questioning its traditions—no matter who gets hurt—and when no one is willing to stand up for the rights of others. It shows us the worst of society: people choosing to follow the crowd rather than question what they know is wrong. This approximately 25-minute play will open the evening.

After a short intermission, the troupe will perform “12 Angry Jurors.” This hour-long play shows us the other side of that idea: what can happen when one person is willing to stand up for someone who cannot stand up for themselves. Through courage, reason, and a willingness to question the crowd, one person can make a difference.

If The Lottery shows us the worst of society, 12 Angry Jurors reminds us of the best of society.

Mark your calendars for November 13-15! May the show go on!

Mrs. Schneider's third graders were practicing their multiplication by using marshmallows as group markers and Fruit Loops as the items inside each group to build visual math arrays. Hands on learning is fun!
