The pedestrian sidewalk has been removed from 9th Street and Logan. You can no longer cross the tracks there. If you need to cross the tracks, please take Washington to 8th Street and then cross over the Lincoln Ave. railroad tracks. Goshen Police Dept. has had several reports of students disregarding the signs that are posted and crossing at 9th Street and Logan. If you continue to cross there, you will be cited by the police department for trespassing on railroad property. This is a safety issue, as some students have almost been hit by passing trains. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Attention Wrestlers: We will have our end of the year meeting after school TODAY in room 6240, the fitness room classroom. All wrestlers are expected to attend. We will also clean out lockers so bring a bag. Those in a spring sport are still expected to attend.
IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: Have you ever been in a situation in the classroom or in a sport where you thought about giving up? What brought the situation about? Was the class too hard? In your sport, were you lacking playing time or not playing at all? Regardless of your circumstances, it can be frustrating when things look bleak. How can you change your approach to help your frustration? A quote I saw on a poster when recently entering a gymnasium says it best. “You are not finished when you lose. You are finished when you quit.” The next time you think about giving up, remember this quote. You might not always win, but by not quitting you will never lose!
Tickets for the spring musical “Mary Poppins” are now on sale in the choir office. The tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students through high school age.
