My friend McKenzie brought me a box of photos her sweet sister Brittney Skinner-Hampton took when she was my yearbook photographer. I've had fun looking through them a few at a time. No time stamp on these, but I bet some of you beautiful ladies will recall the date. This looks like the line up of contestants for a Miss Mountainburg pageant. Help me tag these beautiful ladies! - Doc

ATHLETIC PHYSICALS: It is time to start thinking about physicals and your child's DragonFly for next season. Students who plan on participating in grades 7th - 12th athletics for the 2024-2025 school year will need an updated physical before he/she can participate. Physicals are good for one year from the date you receive it. For example, if your child's physical was in August 2023, his/her physical is good until August 2024. You can get a physical for your child a couple ways: 1. Receive a physical from your child's pediatrician. If you choose to go this route, please print both the following forms, parents fill out the Health History Form and take the Physical Form to . These are the physical papers the AAA would like for us to use. 2. The Mountainburg Family Clinic has agreed to do a physical for $25. This is very cheap compared to most. It may even be more economical than some co-pays to pay the $25. The clinic should have the form, so you will not need the above form for the clinic. New athletes or incoming 7th grade athletes, you will need to create a DragonFly account and complete the required items. Please see the Parent Module video for help with creating and completing a DragonFly account: https://www.dragonflymax.com/parents-module-2-submit-forms-web Existing 8th - 12th athletes, you will need a physical and an update to your DragonFly account. Everyone has to sign off on the Sports Medicine and AAA Participation Agreement every year. If you are interested in learning more about the health and safety for athletes, please view the following documents: Concussion Sports Medicine Fact Sheet Heat Illness: https://kendrickfincher.org/heat-illness-learn-more/ Link to Folder with Information for Physicals: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11YEc64wzo9tdKAH8Msdypo41D0qvlaSp?usp=sharing We are looking forward to the 2024-2025 athletic seasons.
