We are incredibly grateful to have received a grant from Hannah's Happy Day Foundation! Through this opportunity, our students were able to experience the true gift of giving and the impact that kindness can have on a community.

Together, we donated 188 pounds of food to the Food Center, along with a generous supply of dog and cat food to Morgan County Animal Control. In addition, we raised a combined monetary donation of $239.

A special thank you to C.D. Davidsmeyer and Andy Ezard for taking the time to visit and explore our Kindness Fair. We also extend our appreciation to Illinois Theatre for allowing us to use the lobby space and for providing fresh popcorn for our guests. Thank you as well to John Greene and his staff for helping set up tables and chairs on the square for our event.

Most importantly, thank you to our students, staff volunteers, and community members who showed up to support the event and donate. Your generosity helped make this day meaningful and memorable for our students and our community.

The girls did a great job at State!

The team earned four medals out of six events. We had several close events where we could have earned a few more team points, and some girls achieved personal and season records.

1600m SMR – 3rd Place
Discus – 6th Place
100m – 8th Place
4x200 Relay – 5th Place

We are proud of all of the girls for their hard work and accomplishments this season! 🧡🖤

It was our last day with Aaron, our

Tuesday-Friday and man are we going to
miss him‼️ He is going to attend Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. in the spring next year, and we wish him the best 👏👏👏

🏀 CERTIFIED HOOPER
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR 🏆 at I.S.D.

* the only thing we can fault him for is recently he said LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan, which obviously is false, but nobody is perfect 😂
