Athletics & Activities

Match Results

Last week, the MS Boys Soccer team played a match against Raberto Academy. Raberto immediately attacked hard and the first half saw the boys down 0 - 3, but they came back to tie 3 - 3 before finally losing 4 - 5. It was a great first match of the season and everyone should be very proud of the resilience, fighting spirit, and sportsmanship seen out there on both sides of the pitch.

Volleyball and Soccer Matches

This past Tuesday, Premiere Academy accidentally brought their HS team, so we threw together some of our HS boys and beat them in a quick but intense match.

On Wednesday, HS Girls volleyball, HS Boys volleyball, and MS Boys soccer all won their sets/match against ICS.

Library Media Center

Teen Read Week

This week, the Library Media Center (LMC) staff celebrated Teen Read Week. We had a contest on Instagram, where students had to use library books to give themselves a “new look”. Then we marked the end of the Teen Read Week (and the beginning of Fall Break) with a concert in front of the library. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Mr. Panting and the Concert Band students!
