Last Friday, Outdoor Pursuits students enjoyed a memorable canoeing trip to Glen Lake, marking their final full-day adventure to put their outdoor skills to the test. Throughout the day, they used the hand-crafted paddles they made earlier this year and set up tarp shelters to prepare for potential rain. Lunches were cooked over both campfires and camp stoves, with delicious meals like pasta with chicken and red sauce, biscuits and sausage gravy, and pancakes with bacon on the menu. The day also included time for swimming and fishing, making it a perfect culmination of their year-long journey in outdoor learning.

Congratulations to Isabelle Cole and Alaina Moyer, both FHUHS seniors, who will be heading to Fort Worth, Texas the week after graduation to compete in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) National Finals!
After winning their respective classes at last month’s regional show, Isabelle and Alaina earned their spots at Nationals and will proudly represent the Pond Hill Equestrian Team on the national stage. They will join fellow teammates in this prestigious competition.
The IEA is a national organization with nearly 15,000 riders, supporting three disciplines: Hunt Seat, Western, and Dressage. Competing at Nationals is a remarkable achievement, and we couldn't be prouder of these Slater women.
Please join us in celebrating Isabelle and Alaina and wishing them the best of luck as they take on this incredible opportunity!
