Let's celebrate!
We have had a great start to the 24-25 school year. We have lots of students that are awesome. These students are being recognized as students of the month for our first month of the 2024-2025! Congratulations to the following Tigers!!!
Elementary Intermediate--Leigh Goodman
Every day this quarter, Leigh has exhibited leadership skills in and out of the classroom such as quick reminders to keep the chromebook cart clean, to be quiet in the hallway, to not open doors that lead to outside, to take care of class supplies in a respectful manner.. She has helped maintain our PBIS goals and standards. Similarly, Leigh shows every day why it matters to be an engaged student. She encourages her friends and students in other grades. Her relationship skills with her peers is a great example for other students, and her willingness to try and fail is a rare sight. It is for the reasons mentioned that I wholeheartedly support Leigh Goodman as the student of the month.
Elementary Primary--Brantley Meyers
I am picking Brantley Meyers for student of the month. Brantley has been an awesome example to students these first few weeks of school. Brantley works hard in class, tries his best, and not only sets an example, but reminds others how to be a good student in and out of the classroom. Brantley is safe, responsible, and respectful and a learner. Brantley is kind to his friends and is always putting his best effort forward and focusing on the task at hand. Brantley makes me happy to be a teacher and is a fun kiddo to have in the classroom!
Jr High- Juan Alvarez
I don't know Juan super well yet, however, he seems to be a very polite and responsible student. His most impressive attribute so far is his willingness to help others. Specifically Juan has assisted a new, non-English speaking student with communication. Even after the new student received a translating device, Juan is still offering support. He is always willing to sacrifice his own work to help the other student understand what is going on. Adjusting from elementary to junior high is difficult for many students, but Juan has been doing great in his own studies while helping another adjust to a new school and language! It's a lot to expect of a 7th grade student, and he does a wonderful job!
High School--Steven Romine:
Steven is an FFA officer and works very hard in all aspects of school whether it be sports, academics or club activities. He strives to earn As in all of his classes. Steven is helpful in his Algebra 1 class, often assisting other students to help them better understand. When Steven is baited or distracted by other students, he maintains a good attitude and is generally good natured in return. Steven was new to the district last year, but quickly jumped in to meet and make new friends by joining the basketball team and FFA. Steven is well deserving of this honor and recognition!
The varsity soccer team closed out the conference tourney with an 8-0 win over Cole Camp.
After taking a 2-0 lead into half, the Tigers erupted for 6 second half goals.
Trent Sawyer and Jack Hoos both had 2 goals apiece. The other 4 goals were scored by Reid Hagedorn, Matteo Rivas, Daylen Bankovich, and Jackson Xiloj.
Wyatt Crawford had 2 assists while, Max Tylar, Gage DeVorss, Keyten Hardin, Bankovich and Hagedorn each had assists.
The XC Running Tigers enjoyed a new course this week in Buffalo. It was a unique course as our athletes got to run on an active airport with planes landing and taking off. We all agreed it was a neat experience. Of course having our favorite bus driver there to cheer us on made it even better!
This race also saw our complete team together for the first time this season as our dual-sport athletes had a break from soccer. For Jackson and Gage this was their first cross-country race ever! Both finished admirably. Trenton and Rylee fell just short of a medal. Nearly everyone on the team exceeded their personal goal for this particular race. Way to go team, Coach is proud!! 👏
Harmony was practicing Adele's "Skyfall" this week. Wow! Can't wait for concert season!
Mrs. Piscopo's Kinders were busy working on letters and sounds this week! They are getting more confident all the time!
Mrs. Lamar taught some computer skills in small groups this week.
From Mrs. Sleeper:
"We went outside to practice our letters with chalk yesterday with kindergarten! They had to run to the letter I called out and then tell me the sound that letter makes. We also practiced writing names and letters in chalk and even spelled and sounded out some words!!"
From Miss Hilt:
"Physical science students created a balloon rocket to demonstrate Newton's 3 Laws of Motion!"
From Miss Dailey:
"Today, we practiced 2 syllable words by matching 1 syllable cards together to make words! The kids thought it was so nice, we did it twice!!"
The student lounge area is a great learning space for a small group!
From Mrs. Schreck:
"Each text in the next reading unit focuses on animal adaptations. Students participated in an activity today that helped them learn the meaning of adapting and adaptation. After reading a book about a chameleon changing colors, students created their own chameleons to camouflage around the classroom. This was a great way to introduce this new vocabulary word!"
Students reviewed the compare and contrast nonfiction text structure during whole group reading. As an introduction activity, students found similarities and differences about classmates in a real life venn diagram! Students used sticky notes to label each person with similarities and differences! Mrs. Schreck and Mrs. Hammers even joined in on the fun!

Varsity soccer has began Kaysinger conference tourney play. Play began Monday with a 0-6 loss to Sacred Heart.
Tuesday the Tigers faced Smithton. With several opportunities in the first half, the Tigers got a goal just over 15 minutes into the first half. Wyatt Crawford got thru the defense and pushed the ball past the keeper where Trent Sawyer was able to put the ball in the back of the net.
With just under 20 minutes remaining in the game Smithton managed to tie the game. Both teams pressed to break the tie in the final minutes with your Tigers coming up just short on several opportunities but the game remained tied.
The final tourney game will be Friday with a time TBD.

JH Soccer played in the St. Peter Tourney on Saturday. The competition was good, and the boys battled all day. In the opener, St. Peter won in a defensive battle 1-0. We played a very strong St. Paul team in the second game and lost 3-0. Max Knoernschild was in goal for both games and played well with 7 saves. Our last game resulted in a 4-3 loss to La Monte. Ivas Lemanski scored two goals, with Alex Diaz scoring the third. Matvii Nochka had two assists. Cole Chappell was in goal and had 8 saves. Coach Dove stated that he saw progress and many players are continuing to develop their skills. JH Soccer plays next on Wednesday, 10/9 vs. Smithton at home. We appreciate all the parents and family members that made it to the tourney to support the team!
