Mr. Smith's Drivers Education class had a presentation about "Sharing the Roadway" by Blake O'Dell of Midwest Safe Driving School. They also spoke with Nate McBride who is the Road Commissioner for Ashton Township.
Their presentation was focused on identifying risks associated with sharing the road with large vehicles.
Thank you to Mr. Smith, Mr. O'Dell, and Mr. McBride for bringing these important lessons to our students.
Students in Horticulture are working on fall arrangements in class during their floral design unit.

Ms. Dempsey's 7-1 Science: Cow Rumination with Mrs. Pratt from Ag in the classroom.
Due to several players being sick, the 8th grade basketball game will play first at 4:00, with the 7/8 game to follow.
#AFCathleticsandactivities
FYI:
1) The high school varsity girls basketball games today and tomorrow at the Oregon Tournament will be played in the Oregon High School gym rather than the Blackhawk Center.
2) The 6th grade boys game against Stillman Valley today will be played at the Monroe Center school, not in Stillman Valley.
3) 6, 7, 8 grade girls basketball registration is not open yet. There have been a couple who have registered their daughters, but that is the high school registration page. Registration for 6,7,& 8 will open in December. The ones that have registered will be deleted and will need to be registered again in December. Watch the website/Facebook for when that registration opens. Apologies for the confusion.
