Powder Puff update: The Juniors were able to hold the Sophomores and move onto the final game. The Freshmen came out strong in Wednesday night's Powderpuff taking a 6-0 lead into the half vs the Seniors. They did eventually fall to them. In the final game Juniors vs Seniors-the Seniors really found their footing! A late scoring touchdown by Kaliyah Terrell was not enough to do it-the Seniors are this year's Powderpuff Champion! Congrats to all who played it was a fun night and over $1,100 was raised to be split in donations to the food pantry and the Senior Class fund. Thank you to all of the staff volunteers that made the night possible as well!

The Wall of Sound welcomed their very special guests, the KMS 6th Grade Band to the football game on Friday. The oldest and youngest Germantown instrumentalists performed together on the field. What is special is that the current 6th and 9th graders will be freshmen and seniors in three short years. It is special to see these relationships build over the years.
The weather played a big role in the competition last weekend. Rain and lightning moved the competition indoors for a non-scored performance. The group received some great feedback but without the marching, did not receive a score. This weekend, they travel to Waukesha West High School for the Fox River Invitational. Good luck!
