Great news for any student still wanting to travel to Greece and Rome this summer. We recently had two spots open up for our trip, and these two spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. This is a great opportunity to travel in the summer of 2025 and see a few of the true gems in the world today. Once these two spots are filled, the trip will be closed for good. If interested, see Mr. Telger in room 312 for information about the trip. Don’t wait on this opportunity, these two spots will fill up quickly.
Last call for travelers to Europe during the summer of 2026. The early traveler discount expires Friday 10/18. Ask Mrs. Eaton or Mrs. Emery about the itinerary or other questions. Don’t miss out on the discount!
Senators show kindness through their words. Whether it’s giving compliments, saying thank you or sending a kind note, your words have power to brighten someone's day. To go along with this, Be A Senator Club is bringing back Kind Cards this month. Ask your English teacher for one and write something kind to a student or staff member. You can turn these into the Kind Card box in Guidance and BAS will deliver for you.

The Senators struggled to put a full drive together in the first half and were trailing 13-0 at the break. Then the Noah Wade show arrived. Wade caught an Andrew Benning touchdown pass to get the score to 13-7. SHG added a score before Wade caught another to make the game 19-14 with just over 3:00 to go. The Senators caused their third fumble of the game and recovered with just over 2:30 to play. Wade again caught a Benning throw, this time in the back of the endzone to give the Senators a 20-19. The defense did their job as the Cyclones were ruled out of bounds on a potential winning play as time expired. Carter Kim, Ed Horton, and Oliver Scheuppel all cause fumbles on the day and Elijah Taylor, Kim, and Jacob Greco secured those fumbles to give the ball back to SHS. The Senators are now 5-1 on the season.

Any misconduct before, during or after the game will be handled by the administration at the student’s school and will result in consequences.
