Spartan Sport Review! Volleyball 7th grade volley all played a tough two sets against Morton but came up short. The girls battled hard and kept competing every point. 8th grade volleyball had a tough loss against Morton last night. They fought hard, but came up short in three sets. They'll take what they learned and continue working hard as they prepare for their next match. Keep at it ladies!!!
Book Club This month's GOAT book club is our big one: it's time for the voting party!!! If you want to come, you MUST have read at least 3 of the 20 nominees from this year. The party will be next Tuesday, during SLC, in the library. If you want to come, and have read at least 3 of the books, ask your ELA teacher to sign you up. If you have read at least 3 of the books but can't come to book club, come get a ballot in the library so you can still cast your vote! Which Caudill nominee will be this year's big winner for the state of Illinois?
Love Where You Come From- A Message From Your Elementary Schools! DGS: I swear, some days your energy is killing me, smalls! But in all seriousness, I'm so proud of how hard you're working.

Mrs. Lanser.--Wilder Waite: You guys have always been a sweet, respectful, and dedicated group of students who brought such a positive attitude to class. I'm so proud to have been your Spanish teacher and miss having you in class. Keep being you. You are capable of so much, and I know you are doing amazing things! Maestra Rivera--Ridgeview: I miss you all, and I will always remember your talent, kindness, helpfulness, politeness, sportsmanship, and positive attitudes. – Ms. Eppel
