On Saturday, May 9th, 2026, the girls and boys junior high track teams headed to the Mike Henderson State Track Meet. The boys were held in Ankeny and the girls were in Waukee. It was a beautiful day and the student athletes represented our school with extremely positive results! There were so many personal records broken and our very own Addilyn Loparco earned 2nd place overall vs all 1A & 2A schools in the 100 M dash and the 400 M dash. Addie also earned 8th place overall in 1A & 2A schools in the 200 M dash. She earned 17 total team points and the girls team ended at 11th out of 47 teams. For the boys team our very own Jayden Norris earned 8th place in the high jump!
The day was long but the future of these individuals is worth every second!
You have one last chance to see this team in action on Friday May 16th at Sidney for the JH Corner Conference track meet! Field events start at 4PM and running events at 4:30PM. Go Wolverines!

Local Student Accepted into Prestigious Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Program!!

East Mills High School student, Grace Day, has been accepted into the internationally recognized Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) Program, an organization that supports artists who create their work using only their mouth or feet due to physical disabilities.

Grace’s acceptance is a significant achievement, reflecting her dedication, creativity, and remarkable artistic skill. Through perseverance and passion, she has developed a unique artistic voice that continues to inspire those around her. The MFPA Program will provide her with opportunities to grow as an artist, connect with a global network of creators, and share her artwork with a wider audience.

Her art teacher (Ms. Edwards) and classmates are incredibly proud of her accomplishment and look forward to seeing how she continues to shine in this new and exciting chapter.

Grace’s journey is a powerful reminder that art has no boundaries—and talent, determination, and heart can take you anywhere.
