I am a devastated amateur photographer this morning. In the process of cleaning up our computers and removing a virus from them, all of my yearbook photos from this year were lost. After a week of working with the IT department, I have to resign myself to this loss and beg for the school community to upload any photos you might have of school events as Karrie Blackbeard describes below, so we can have a yearbook for this year. Please accept my sincere thank-you for any photos you send. "Jostens has a yearbook photo app, where I believe anyone can upload photos from their phones or computers. If you find the ReplayIt App on the app store, install it and search for Neilburg Composite School we should be linked. These photos go directly to the yearbook maker site, so I can pop them onto the pages where needed. If you have issues, please grab Blake or contact me (Karrie Blackbeard) and I can assist. You will have to login to use it…I just used my facebook account…"

Grade 7-12 Track & Field is cancelled for this morning. These students will have regular classes. We are still planning on running the elementary meet in the afternoon.

Thursday is our local track & field day. Grade 7-12 students compete in the morning. K-6 students go in the afternoon, beginning at 12:15.
