DES testing spirit days
As the Water Valley Archery team gets ready for their last match before the State Competition, the archers and coaches would like to send a shout for the donations made to them this year. The Crawford family donated a target, that was Jake's. We have made good use of it during practices and matches. We would also like to thank the Webb family for donating this food warmer and hot dog cooker which allowed us to sell hot food at our home matches. We greatly appreciate the parents who sent us supplies and worked in the concession stand. It has been a successful season for us. Thanks for the support!
Happy Birthday
