Interested in purchasing an Activity Pass to next year's home events? Print the flyer attached and return it to the HS Office, with a student, or to one of the gate workers at any home event.
Students (K-12) = $80
Adults (18-54) = $140
Seniors (Age 55+) = $85
Individual cards will be printed for each person. Cards are printed in sets of 10, so you might have a week or so before you are ready to go with a "permanent printed card." However, you'll be added to the Pass List and will be granted access to home events until your pass is printed and delivered.
Printed flyers to fill out will be available at the remaining home summer events as well as the first few home events this fall.

The Bluegrass Conference Board of Control, in conjunction with the Conference ADs, voted to increase gate fees for the 26-27 academic year. We thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
Come on out to the ball field and help us celebrate our senior players!
The JH Baseball and Softball games scheduled for today at North Mahaska are now cancelled due to the forecast and potential risk of severe weather. Both districts are looking to reschedule, if possible.
Thanks, and stay safe today.

Today, Mrs. Peters’ 2nd grade students had the opportunity to work with Mrs. Marcus, who is observing the classroom as part of her studies to become a teacher.
Students participated in a hands-on physical science activity where they worked in groups to design and build ramps to demonstrate momentum and force using race cars. 🚗💨
The students did an amazing job collaborating, problem-solving, and deciding which materials would help them successfully complete the challenge. We love seeing teamwork and learning in action! 👏🔬
Summer break may be in full swing, but learning never stops for educators. 👩🏫
Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Lee, and Ms. Rockwood are representing Melcher-Dallas CSD at the Iowa Science of Reading Conference, spending two days learning, collaborating, and exploring research-based practices to better support student success.
Their commitment to continuous growth ensures Melcher-Dallas students receive the highest quality instruction both now and in the years ahead. ⚜️
Melcher-Dallas CSD has the following coaching opportunities for the 26/27 school year! If you are interested, please reach out to Brian Kingrey (mdathleticdirector@melcher-dallas.k12.ia.us).
Saint Nation,
Due to field conditions and the risk for severe weather, paired with more rain, in general, the Varsity games scheduled for tonight against Moravia have been postponed.
The Bluegrass Conference ADs, at our last meeting, agreed to play a doubleheader in the event weather forced us out of our first competition. Therefore, the games scheduled for 6/11 @ M-D v. Moravia have been moved to Monday, June 29 @ Moravia. As a result, the JV games that were to precede (Softball) and follow (Baseball) are no longer viable options. Both Varsity games for conference play will take place on 6/29 @ Moravia beginning at 5:30 PM. Varsity teams will play a doubleheader, and each game will count as conference play/standing/stats.
The ADs agreed to this protocol, knowing umpires were already secured for the already-scheduled date. It is extremely difficult to find umpires. Therefore, if the Officials are already scheduled and secured for a game/location, we will opt to play on that date/time instead of trying to reschedule a new date with the potential that our umpires cannot officiate the rescheduled date.
Long story short, tonight's games against Moravia have been postponed to 6/29, the original date that M-D was to travel to Moravia. A doubleheader will be played for both Softball and Baseball at that time. If any other changes are made, I will communicate them through Bound and Thrillshare.
Thank you,
Dr. Kingrey
