Who’s who is out, which means it’s time for who’s who pictures! Make sure you look at the sheet on the walls so you know when your picture date is. Meet in Mrs. Gibbon’s room during advisor on the day of your picture. Have something in mind on where you want to take it or what pose you want to do, and please try to plan it with your partner because it will make taking pictures a lot easier. Try to have an outfit picked out, but don’t forget your picture day so there will not need to be a reschedule!
Spirit weeks are always the most exciting parts of the school year for myself, and I know that many other students feel the same way. Usually we are limited to one, but a few students and faculty members got together this year and decided that we were going to attempt to organize a second and a third. In the midst of the second, I can say that it has been a success. Students and teachers alike are buying all the way in, and I have seen some of the most creative and well put together costumes during this winter spirit week than ever at our school before. The days came in this order, with each getting better, Wacky Tacky Day, Duo Day, Sports Day, Movie Character Day, and finally Patriot Day on Friday. The volleyball tournament is also a huge factor in the hype swirling around the spirit week and Friday night game. This year was full of close battles, with no team beating another by over 10 points. The seniors and juniors played each other in the class championship game (a rivalry that had been brewing since last year), but ultimately the seniors came out on top as two point victors. The faculty has never lost in an assembly game, but the students are confident that this is their year. The spirit week is leading up to a game against Abingdon-Avon which coincidentally is the game that our football spirit week fell upon as well. Come out and support the team tonight at 6, and make sure you are ready to cause some chaos!
“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path.” Our final semester of high school has officially started. As the end of the year approaches, the busier we’re getting. Just like we did in the fall we will be having another fundraiser to raise money for our senior trip. We will be selling candy bars again. If you don’t want to pay to go on the class trip we strongly encourage you to sell your candy bars and turn in the money on time. If we get enough money, which we most likely will, we will be going to Wisconsin Dells on May 13th for the senior trip. The plan is to leave early in the morning and spend all day at Kalahari. It’s an indoor water and amusement park. The school will be providing food for us. The only money you will need is spending money. All graduation order forms should be turned in. Lastly, if you haven’t signed the class motto poster in Mrs. Vogel’s room, please do so immediately.
How was your Christmas break spent this year? Did you go on vacation; did you visit family; did you work; did you not do anything? I know for my Christmas break I worked, spent time with my family, went to the boys’ basketball tournament in Galva, spent time with Tyler G., and went to dance practice. The Varsity boys’ basketball team spent some of their break in Galva at the basketball tournament. Shawna and Cody Stewart went to Clear Water, Florida with their family. Shawna also attend cheer practice, and she worked. James Janis worked and put in 72 hours over break, 40 more hours than he was scheduled. That’s a lot of hours!! Bringing in that money. Mrs. Gibbons went to Chicago and visited her granddaughter. Charlie Schneider went to Chicago. Noah Nelson spent time with family and played basketball majority of his break. DJ Huggins did not do very much this year, but he plans on having a better one next year. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break and a happy new year.
