Dear Staff,
What a beautiful fall weekend! We hope you enjoyed the weekend with your families. Our family ventured to the Africa Exhibit at the Zoo this weekend and each of us took a turn at feeding the giraffes. How spectacular to come face-to-face with these beautiful animals and have them pluck a piece of lettuce from our hands with their 18-inch long black tongues that feel like fine sandpaper. Amazing!
What a great weekend to be a Celtic! Our football team defeated Scioto in a great comeback victory. After being down 16-0, the Celtics won 36-31 with a great goal-line stand in the last minute of play as Scioto had 1st and goal and failed to score. Congrats Mark Hundley and Kevin Jackson for a memorable win!
What are high school sports really about? On Friday both the Scioto and Celtic football teams provided the true meaning of high school sports. Both teams lined up at the South endzone in Pre-game and let Senior John Wagner, who is confined to a wheelchair, score a ceremonial touchdown! John has rarely missed a practice or a game in his 4 years on the football team. What a great moment! See the video below.
In addition, our Girls XC team took second in the OCC's with our own Carly Davis winning the OCC Tourney with a new school record time of 18:23! Proud Mom, Lori! Ellee Bullock won the Div 1 District singles tennis tourney!
I sent you via email Kim Miller's blog regarding our Working Wednesday.

In case you haven't seen them, they are really a fun shirt and the kids love them (and so does Nate)!! Love the humor Nate! We are sure these will be collector's items!
Have a terrific week on the Jerome Energy Bus! Remember-- Think Positive-- because thoughts are like the steering wheel that moves our bus in the right direction! Growth Mindsets only!
