We have gotten several questions about the Varsity Boys Basketball schedules since there have been many changes since the original schedule was put out in August. The updated schedule can be found on our website under "Documents", "Sports Schedules", "High School Boys Basketball". A couple things to note: Since Odin now co-ops with Patoka, we are not playing them tonight. And since Oblong, Palestine and Hutsonville now co-op we will only play OPH at Oblong on 1/21, we will not play Palestine or Hutsonville separately so if you have a schedule where they are listed it is incorrect. (We picked up Paris and Effingham to fill those games.) Also, this Friday we play South Central. This will be F/S & JV games only, NO VARSITY.

There have been a couple of calendar changes regarding HS Girls Basketball. The game on January 10th at Windsor has changed to a 6:00 start time. The game on January 11th will now be played at Oblong instead of Palestine.

Parents, we are continuing to go outside for recess and will do so for as long as possible. Please send your students to school with a winter coat, a hat, and gloves. We have numerous students who are coming to school with just a sweatshirt. If you are missing their coat, please have your student check the lost and found. We have a large collection of coats in lost in found.
