Congratulations to our Varsity Volleyball Team on finishing 3rd place at the OBC Tournament! Special recognition to Layla Wilkins for earning All Conference Team honors and Kynlee Hickman for receiving Honorable Mention. Good job to our athletes and a big thank you to coaches Kayla and Mrs. Watts for their leadership and dedication to the team.
We are always looking for ways to improve our school and we value your input. One way to provide us with input is for you to take the 5 Essentials 2025-26 Illinois Supplemental Parent Survey. A link to the survey can be found below. The survey is completely anonymous and should only take a few minutes. Again, we greatly appreciate you and your effort in taking this survey. Survey closes March 13, 2026. We need at least 20% of the survey completed to get a report back. We are currently at 17% completed.

GOLF MEETING!!
There will be a mandatory golf meeting for all boys and girls in 6th–8th grade who are interested in participating in golf this season. The meeting will take place at 6:00 PM at Raccoon Grade School on Wednesday, March 18th.
Please note that students must have their own set of golf clubs in order to participate. In addition, a current sports physical must be on file before students are able to practice or compete.
We encourage both the student and at least one parent/guardian to attend so we can go over expectations, the season schedule, and answer any questions.
