Wind in the Willows (Grades 3-8)

Join Badger, Mole, and the rest of the River animals in this charming tale as they try to rescue their friend Toad who has been arrested for stealing and crashing a motor car while wreaking havoc in the once peaceful River Valley.  These animals must serve double duty as they also work to protect Toad Hall from the incoming Ferrets and Weasels.  All the while, Toad must realize his wrongdoings, and work to make things right again with his friends and his home.

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…

All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events including the varsity football games. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
