There was a mistake on the calendar. The Student Council field trip is on May 22nd to the Skate Palace in Ida Grove, not May 13th to the Crew Center. They will be opening the concession stand in case the students would like to buy food. Please let Mrs. Snyder know if your student would like a sack lunch from the school.

Thank you to all the wonderful teachers we have at CO-U. Your hard work and dedication is reflected in your students. We appreciate you.


Last night was a proud night for the Bobcats track and field team in Ida Grove. Nearly every even had season or personal best times and distances. In field events Mia Staley, Daxton Lietz and Sean Staley threw their personal best in the shot put. Landon Kiepe had a personal best in the 100 meter dash. The 4 x200 was a great event for both our girls and boys teams. The boys team consisting of Gavin Amunson, Ryder Trucke, Ryder Meseck and Cashton Wilcox improved their previous best time and the girls team of Jackie Factor, Liza Klinker, Avery Bohlmann and Audrey Hadden placed 4th and broke our school record. Josiah Pietch ran his fastest mile time, while Audrey Hadden zoomed to 6th place in her fastest 200 meter dash time. The boys 4x100 team of Teagen Gress, Landon Kiepe, Jesus Godina Trevino and Gavin Amunson had a season best time, and the girls 4 x400 relay of Jackie Factor, Liza Klinnker, Avery Bohlmann and Audrey Hadden bettered their own record and secured a 5th place finish! Way to go Cats!!
