Agriculture Education teachers Mrs. Hailey Cunningham and Ms. Kyla McCoy and their students have been working with members of the Lions Club throughout the week to make apple butter for the annual Apple Butter Fest on Saturday, October 11. They will end up with approximately 450 pints, which will be sold for $8.00 each. This has created an amazing learning experience for students as they have participated in the entire production process, from visiting the apple orchard to filling jars with the finished product.

The girls' soccer team participated in a service project after school today where they put together care bags for Bless Up and Bloom, a local non-profit organization providing hygiene and wellness to the community.

We appreciate our students giving back to our community!

Thank you to Jeremy Strapp and Delphos Granite Works for helping us repair the Veterans Memorial near the flag pole in front of the school after the POW-MIA medallion detached. A technician was sent to repair the stone last Friday, and it has been returned to its original position. The memorial, dedicated in 2017, was the Eagle Scout project of 2018 graduate Jacob Emerine. We appreciate Jacob, Jeremy, and Delphos Granite Works for helping us continue to honor our veterans!
