Basketball 🏀 update Our combo and 7th grade teams beat Keene tonight, while our 8th grade teams came up short. Next week we play Grandview!

Congratulations to our UIL winners. We had over 50 students place in their events. Way to go Bulldogs!

8th Grade Parents,

As your student prepares for high school, they will have the opportunity to apply for Bulldog College Prep Academy. This program is a cohort of students who participate in Dual Credit coursework through Navarro College.

To be eligible, students must apply and be in good standing with attendance, grades, and discipline. In addition, students are required to pass the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) test, which is a college entrance exam.

Please see the attached flyer for more detailed information regarding testing dates, cost, and next steps.

Palmer FFA members exhibited their projects today at the Fort Worth Stock Show Ag Mechanics project show. Both groups did an outstanding job and earned blue ribbons on their projects. Projects exhibited were a custom stationary smoker exhibited by Manuel Zarco and Wyatt McElhaney. This BBQ pit will be used in competition by our Bulldog bbq team in upcoming competitions. Some of our Jr FFA members exhibited their chicken coop. Exhibitors were Evelyn Castillo, Claire Nolan, Scarlett Jagielski and Hattie Ross.

Here is the menu for January 19-22!
