The Bonanza Valley Voice sends our tip of the hat to the B-B-E speech team, as they open the 2019 season at Little Falls today. It will be an exciting season! A group of around 22 speech students made the trip for today's competition.

Also, last night, the B-B-E/Paynesville Pirouttes dance team competed at the Camden Conference championship comp at Tracy-Milroy-Balaton high school. Three members of the squad earned all-conference honors: Brooke Deters, Dacia Herickhoff and Megan Laughlin. Congratulations! Hard work pays off!
