Community News Roundup ~ Feb. 19, 2026


Happy Herald Day!

Safe travels to everyone headed over the hill for state wrestling this weekend, and best of luck to all the participating athletes. I’d say “make us proud,” but we already are! Have fun, enjoy the experience, and, as I tell myself when I’m struggling through cardio, do your best and forget the rest.
