On January 31, all of the middle school will go to Buck Hill Winter Fun Day. The day will be divided, with eighth graders going snow tubing for one half of the day and sixth and seventh graders will go for the other half. Winter Fun Day is a day to look forward to where students can snow tube, hang out with friends, and of course, have fun! Aside from the end of the year Valley Fair field trip, Winter Fun Day is one of the all-time favorite days of the year. This will be the first experience of Winter Fun Day at Buck Hill for sixth graders but for eighth graders this will be their last.
