Off to the Races
|
|
Saturday, February 20, 2010
|
|
The Jr. Class sponsored a Mouse Race event as a fundraiser. There was more than 100 people at this race, and it seemed like everybody who was somebody was at this event. This was my first mouse race and it made for a very fun evening. There was a silent auction of donated goods by various individuals and companies to also help raise funds.

How can you win when you lose?
|
|
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
|
|
At the time of this article the Dupo Boys Varsity Basketball team is 4-17, 0-8 in the conference. The Dupo Girls Varsity Basketball team is 4-14, 0-10 in the conference. Both obviously losing records and unfortunately something that Dupo basketball fans have become accustomed to in recent years. So how does someone dare to call those involved with these teams winners? Because winning and being a winner is not always tied to the score or the outcome.

Jr. Class Sponsors Dupo Donkey Basketball
|
Not For Sure Who Won the Teams or the Donkeys?
|
|
Wednesday, January 27, 2009
|
|
The night of Wednesday the 27th proved to be all that it was billed to be “Got Game?” and so much more. The Junior Class sponsored a Dupo Donkey Basketball event that was absolutely hilarious. Although there were 4 teams playing each other, I’m not for sure if the real contest wasn’t teams against the donkeys. These little adorable donkeys appeared to have a mind of their own.
