Think First: Encouraging Responsible Decisions Behind the Wheel
Our juniors and seniors recently attended a powerful mock crash demonstration along with other Hancock County students at the fairgrounds. With events like prom, graduation, and summer just around the corner, this experience highlighted the real-life consequences of impaired and distracted driving, reminding our students to make safe choices not only on the nights of these big events but every time they get behind the wheel.
We want to thank seniors Brookanne Busch, David Cavera, Chance Frey, Ginny Lewandowski, Sawyer Moore, Tyler Price, and Aubrey Scherf for acting in the event; School Resource Officer Deputy Matt Crouch for coordinating the event; and all the other first responders who played a role in creating this experience for our students.
If you would like to learn more about this experience for our students, you can read an article about the event from Saturday’s edition of The Courier: https://mynewsonthego.com/courier/Reader/Story.aspx?id=fdc174f1-f1f2-4a9a-af3f-1cb69e1f4d78.

Part of our mission is to help students build connections, and senior Sadie Thorla-Lopez is doing just that. After approaching high school guidance counselor Mrs. Holli Sattler with an idea, Sadie added a heartfelt twist to last Friday’s Buddy Reads. 📖✨
In addition to the elementary and high school students spending time reading together during Buddy Reads, they created personalized cards to show their appreciation for our dedicated custodians and maintenance staff. To brighten their days, Sadie then transformed those cards into collages she is hanging in our buildings.
We focus on helping students become more respectful, responsible, and resilient every day. Thank you, Sadie, and all of our students, for leading with kindness and helping us remember daily how important our facilities team is to our Black Knight family! 🖤🧡
