Congratulations to Bridget on her 6th place finish at the state bowling competition yesterday!!
Braxton Dudgeon accomplished a goal at yesterday's home track and field meet breaking the school record in the triple jump. The triple jump is a horizontal jumping event where the running athlete takes off one foot, lands on the same foot(hop), lands on the other foot(step) then lands in the sand pit(jump), usually on both feet. It has been an Olympic track and field event since 1896. Dudgeon leapt 43'4" inches to surpass the previous record of 43'3.5" that was set by Jarret Imlay in 2010.

Good luck to our state bowlers tomorrow!
Carynn, who has been helping out at the preschool this semester for her work study, got an amazing surprise send off from our elementary this morning! She, and the rest of the team, head up to the State Bowling Competition tomorrow morning! More photos from the send off at the high school to come later!
Juniors and Sophomores, in Civics and US History, got to go to the Share the Road Presentation put on by the American Trucker Association here at the school today. During this presentation, the students got to see the blind spots that semis have and hear some helpful hints about driving safely around semis. All of the students got the chance to climb in the semi to experience the blind spots for themselves.
This week we celebrate our teachers!! Thank you to all of our teachers for everything you do for our students every day!

For the month of April, our PBIS theme has been Responsibility in Relationships. We want to focus on helping students understand the importance of being accountable for how they treat others. Responsibility in relationships means being honest, respectful, and supportive, as well as recognizing the impact their words and actions have on their peers, teachers, and family members.
Teachers encouraged students to take ownership of their role in building healthy, positive relationships. Whether it's resolving conflicts, being a good listener, or showing kindness, their efforts can strengthen the bonds they share with others.
Congratulations to these students of the month for April! Not pictured: Riddick.

Congratulations to our March students of the month! These students were nominated by their teachers for displaying 'respect for community'.
The March PBIS theme was Respect for Community. Staff encouraged students to understand the importance of contributing to and caring for the community around them—whether it’s their classroom, school, or neighborhood. Respect for community means taking pride in shared spaces, supporting others, and understanding how individual actions can positively or negatively affect the larger group.
As we focused on this theme, staff inspired students to engage in activities that strengthened our community, such as keeping common areas clean, being kind and inclusive, and showing support for school events and initiatives.
Congratulations to these students!
