ACT Tip of the Day ✏️
English strategy: if it’s wordy, it’s probably wrong.
The ACT loves clear and concise writing. Read the whole sentence, then choose the simplest option that is still correct.

ACT Tip of the Day 👖

Wear comfortable clothes on the test day.

You’ll be sitting for several hours. Choose layers in case the room is too warm or too cold. Avoid brand-new shoes or anything distracting.

The goal is to focus on the test—not your outfit.

Comfort = focus. Focus = points. 🦅✨

Will started us off strong at OYE this week! He took 3 gilts and all 3 made the hill!! For reference, the classes have 50-60 hogs in them, about 20 from each class make the "hill"! Today one of his light cross gilts placed 2nd in her class and 18th overall out of about 300+ gilts! That is an awesome 2 days!! Hadlee Scott also took her light cross gilt but unfortunately the gilt was hurt and she couldn't show today. Congratulations Hadlee and Will on a successful show season!

As we wrapped up Northwest District livestock show yesterday, we have one more post! Thank you to Piper and Derby for representing DCLA on the Social Media Team! These girls had to apply for and be selected for this opportunity and we are proud of them! Piper spent two days learning, interviewing, and taking pictures and Derby spent the evening at the premium sale taking videos and pictures to help promote and highlight our students and supporters! They did a great job!
