Colton placed 1st on the pommel horse and high bar, 2nd on still rings and 3rd on the floor exercise.

Stay In Bounds Ambassadors who make their monthly visits on Tuesdays, remember that is TOMORROW. You should meet Miss Swain at the welcome center immediately after 2nd period and be prepared to Limbo and play Zoom with Excellence!
Seniors who still haven’t filed the FAFSA: Indiana has announced that the state’s March 10th FAFSA deadline will be extended until April 15th this year! The process for families became more complicated this year due to a glitch in the IRS retrieval tool. Students and their families can now go back in to file the FAFSA if they have not done so, or go back in if the tax import tool did not work for them. Take advantage of this second chance to possibly qualify for funds from the State and/or Federal government for college! Don’t miss this new deadline!
Congratulations to the Advanced Crimson Jazz Ensemble for a great performance at the ISSMA State Jazz Finals this past weekend! The group was praised for its musicality and versatile performance of difficult music.
Congratulations to the Varsity Winter Guard on their incredible season! They finished their season by earning the Bronze Medal at State Finals in Indianapolis on Saturday competing against 16 groups from across the state. Their 3rd place finish is the highest ever for this group. Way to go Winter Guard!

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.
