IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: This is boys basketball sectional week. Past history says it’s a week of surprises. Will we have a snowstorm? What ranked team will be the first out? What school will provide the biggest shock of the week? Is your school a favorite or the underdog to take the sectional crown? There is nothing more fun than participating in an event that the whole school gets behind. Whether it’s a school play, a choral event or a team advancing along in a state tournament, it’s fun to be involved as the excitement grows and the event arrives. As a member of your student body, make it a point to get involved in the week’s festivities. The support shown by the students might make a difference in the outcome of that close game. History could be made and the memories from those exciting games could be something that you remember and talk about fifty years later!
You can sign-up for Intramural Volleyball through TODAY. The cost is $8, or $3 if you have played Intramurals this year and do not want a new shirt.

The Goshen Band Boosters are hosting a shoe drive through April 9th and would love your help! They’re collecting gently used or new shoes which are then taken to other countries such as Haiti and given to micro-entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs refurbish the shoes into usable ones or other items of use and sell them to earn an income to help themselves and their families. Take a look in your closets or wherever you may keep your shoes and see if you have a pair or two that you would be willing to donate. You can even donate flip flops. Bins will be placed around the school (as well as the Goshen area) that have a poster on them with the dos and don’ts of what is an acceptable shoe. If you would like more information, or have any questions please feel free to contact Kristy Nissley at nissley1998@gmail.com. Thank you for your help!
