Tonight at 6:00pm we will be having a community dinner and pep rally to pump up our basketball team and cheerleaders as they are playing in the Regional Finals tomorrow night!
The dinner will include: Hamburgers, hotdogs, homemade mac & cheese, chips. dessert, and drinks! It is all by donation only, no set prices! All money will go to purchasing tickets for students and feeding the students who are attending the game! Please tell your family, friends, and community!
During the dinner (6-6:45) the players and cheerleaders will be set up on the stage to autograph pictures for any kids or anyone who may want one.
Jet's Popcorn will also be here to sell popcorn! They are going to donate 20% of their sales tonight to our students!
After the dinner we will move to the Gym for a Pep Rally! We would like to start it by 6:50-6:55 and last until 7:45ish! Bring your spirit and get ready for a great time! The players and cheerleaders have A LOT of goodies to throw into the stands tonight for those of you who are showing your spirit and getting loud!! LETS PACK THE STANDS!!
After the pep rally, at 8:00 pm, we will be live streaming the Waverly Regional game for ANOYONE who would like to stay and watch it!
ATTENTION 5th/6th graders.
We want you to join the pep section on Friday when our boys play for a regional championship. The school will be paying for your ticket to the game BUT you have to be accompanied by an adult. We will not be providing transportation.
If you would like a ticket for your child, you need to write a note and take to the elementary office by Friday morning. You can also call the school at 740-493-2881. Tickets will be sent home on Friday.
Adults you can purchase tickets at https://www.ohsaa.org/tickets
I made this announcement to the kids and I thought I posted it somewhere but I want to make sure all parents know any student who went to the game last night is excused for a two hour delay. Buses are running on time but any student who was at the game and wants to come in two hours late has an excused absence for two hours this morning.
The pep bus will return at approximately 1130.
The boys basketball team will be leaving the school today at 4 o’clock in a charter bus for the regional semifinal game at the convocation center at Ohio University. Anyone who wants to wish the team good luck can come to the school as they pull out or lineup along 124 to show your support. A win tonight put us in the elite 8!!
Just a reminder to parents of students riding the pep bus to the game tonight that the bus will be returning home after 11 PM. We are going to remind students to contact parents on the way home. It’s very important that everyone is waiting here when the bus pulls in so the chaperones don’t have to wait for the rides to come. My gut feeling is that the bus return will be closer to 11:30.
We have made the announcement to the students a couple of times but I wanted to make sure parents are aware that we are using donated money to buy all junior and high school student tickets for the game tomorrow night. Even if a JH/HS student is not riding the pep bus we are still paying for their tickets if they want us to. We have had several generous donations from people who want all of the JH/HS kids who want to go to the game to be able to go.

Bus one had to take a student back home this morning. He will be running six or seven minutes later than normal.

We will be dismissing school at 2 PM on Friday. We are one bus driver short and we have two buses that have to leave for the district championship game before buses could return for a second trip. We are taking a pep bus to the game and we have had some generous donations that will enable us to purchase tickets for students who want to go to the game but are having trouble with the ticket price. Any high school or junior high student who wants to go to the game but doesn’t have a way or a ticket can let us know tomorrow morning and we will make sure that they are able to get to the game.
Reminder Thursday and Friday are Spirit Days at school for all students and staff!

Effective February 25, 2022, CDC is exercising its enforcement discretion to not require that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems,
including early care and education/child care programs. CDC is making this change to align with updated guidance that no longer
recommends universal indoor mask wearing in K-12 and early education settings in areas with a low or medium COVID-19 Community Level.
No more mask requirement on buses!!!!
I’ve been out checking roads. There’s a little bit of ice on gates porches etc. but the roads are fine. Kelly May is not going to be running Davis Road this morning. Sorry for the late notice. Didn’t have enough phone service to get the call out until I got back home from checking the roads. She will be at the bottom of the hill at 6:55. If you can’t get there in time your student will be excused due to the late notice.
Spring pictures will be Wednesday, March 16 for Elementary and High School. Picture forms will be available closer to the date.
We have several roads in the district that are still flooded. We will be operating on a two hour delay tomorrow. We will for sure have school even if we have to skip a few places but we will be starting on a two hour delay.
Order your shirt to cheer on our boys at District!
