One of many activities in our aftercare program offers an excellent opportunity to create amazing pictures using melting beads. Thanks to the PTO, we always have a supply of these beads. Creativity knows no bounds for both younger and older participants. Additionally, the PTO has supported the purchase of more games and puzzles. This program assists parents who need extra time to pick up their children and provides a fantastic experience by showcasing how different age groups interact inside and outside. We still have open spots available for those who are interested. Thank you to our PTO for the generous donations!

Athletes of the Week for Aug 25-Aug 31
HS Volleyball
Varsity Athlete of the Week:
This week, we are proud to recognize Brilee Davenport for varsity. As a freshman making her first official start, Brilee has shown tremendous effort and determination, especially in the back row. She currently leads the team in aces this season and continues to be a key contributor on the court.
JV Athlete of the Week:
For JV, our athlete of the week is Alexis Emmerich-Tomlin. In her first year with the program, Lexi has done a phenomenal job learning the game and making an impact. Her performance in the back row has been nothing short of dominant, and she continues to grow each week.
HS Soccer
Garrett Cotts
Scored both game winning goals in our 2 tournament wins at Greenville this past week.
JH Baseball athletes of the weeks
This week’s players of the week were selected because of their work ethic, positive attitude, and being a good teammate to everyone around them.
Maverick Wilkins played pretty good defense and picked up a big RBI hit this past week. Although that is important to him and his team, Maverick was selected for a different reason. Maverick works extremely hard and is always a good teammate. Maverick leads by example when it comes to hard work and positivity.
Brody Colon is the other player of the week. Brody has not played baseball in several years and has done a good job this year working hard. Brody is similar to Maverick in that, he brings a good work ethic every day, never complains, and leads by example.
JH Softball
My athlete of the week has to be Hayden Venhaus. This week she pitched against Breese and had 16 STRIKEOUTS!! She broke her record of 15 which she got earlier this year. So happy we will have her another year for Junior High as she is just a 7th grader. Congratulations Hayden!
JH and HS Cross Country
Both coaches wanted to recognize all team members this week for the hard work they put into their first 2 meets last week.

JH ran at home this past Thursday and again at Mascoutah on Saturday. Josie Casperson finished 5th in the varsity race on Thursday and Ava Garbe placed 27th out of 136 runners on Saturday at Mascoutah. Keep working hard everyone.
