This milestone is a testament not only to Ayden's talent, but to the support from his family, coaches, teammates, and teachers along the way. We can’t wait to watch him take this next step and compete as a Bulldog!!!! Congratulations Ayden!!!

Bloomington students, NHS, and staff showed up ready to volunteer at the Calhoun County humane society!!!! ❤️🐾They walked dogs, helped set up the adoption celebration, and visited with all the fur babies! We are so proud of everyone coming out early on a cold, Saturday morning!
