A sincere thank you to everyone who donated to Mrs. Gorgen's 2nd graders' Kind Kids campaign to help the Mineral Point Fire Department and Mineral Point Rescue Squad! Your generosity helped the students be able to give $2,566 to be split between the two volunteer groups. Way to go!

Three cheers for the golf team! For the second year in a row, #PointerNation took 3rd place at the WIAA State Golf meet in Division 3!

Kohler successfully defended its state title on its home course with a 643. Cambridge was runner-up at 648. Mineral Point shot 684 over the two days.

Individually, Orfordville Parkview's Trey Oswald claimed medalist honors. For MP, Carson Kroll was 9th, Eli Lindsey 18th, Ollie Mitchell 19th, Alex Ross 21st, and Reid Acherman 34th. Great job, everyone!
