During the 2025-2026 school year, Sage was a junior and Kai was a sophomore.
Sage ran cross country, played bass drum in marching band and pep band, ran track, and participated in endless clubs and events. He earned dozens of awards including more Best of Sno (he's up to 5 now) and 3rd place in the entire country for one of his amazing articles. Sage was busy, popular, and always so kind.
Kai played football (though he spent most of the season sidelined with a knee injury), basketball (had a great season on the JV team), and worked his part time job at Pickleman's. Kai completed the LEAD Parkway program. He also earned dozens of awards and accolades for being a great leader and student!
