Our boys basketball teams played Muir at MHS last night in a highly anticipated rival game. 6th/7th grade fought hard but came up short, losing 19-29. 8th grade was victorious with a final score of 50-37.

The Oak Valley Robotics Team (STEAM Stingers) has been hard at work designing, building, and programming a robot that will perform specific tasks. On Nov. 19, they will compete with other middle schools across the state, and will be judged on their robot’s ability to carry out required challenges, their written and oral presentation of what they’ve learned, and their ability to work together as a team. Let’s wish them all good luck!
