It was an honor for Newell School and our junior and senior class to get to visit with Congressmen Dusty Johnson today. Dusty Johnson took time out of his busy schedule to have lunch with our middle school, visit with the junior and senior class, and take part in robotics class with Mr. Feidler. The juniors and seniors were able to ask questions and listen to his position on things such as the war in Ukraine, major concerns in the United States, inflation, education, and advice after graduation.
Good luck to the Newell Irrigator Volleyball teams as they travel to Harding County tonight. Both middle school and high school teams will be competing. You can watch the high school games on NFHS, the link is below.
