Last Friday night, the football team competed in the 1st annual RedHawk Lift-a-thon to showcase their offseason efforts so far in the weight room, as well as raise money for the football program. Over 40 returning players competed in the bench press competition, held in the main gym. Of those 40 players, over 30 players matched or beat their best bench press weight from previous attempts. It was a great atmosphere with lots of intensity, support and weight being thrown around. Thank you to all that came out and cheered on the players and to those that donated money to the program. We appreciate your support. The following players were winners of their weight class:
- Lightweight – Joseph Burkheimer 205lbs
- Middleweight – Noah Shively 220lbs
- Light Heavyweight – Thomas Heim 350lbs
- Heavyweight – Brock Tauteris 325lbs
- Most money raised was by Jack Immel @ $489
Seniors: Many scholarships are due by April 1st. If you need them sent in, please get them to Ms. Hollinger in the guidance office by Monday, March 27th to make sure that they get out before we leave for spring break.
The Ultimate Frisbee Club meets after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-5:00 p.m. on the administration field. If you’re interested in learning how to play the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, you can pick up your required paperwork from Mr. Snyder in the choir office, Mr. Brubaker or from Lucas Kauffman. The paperwork should be turned in to Lucas Kauffman the first time you attend.
IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: What’s your mental state like before a big game or an important test? Are you unsure or afraid to fail? Are you confident? Do you feel prepared? Are you afraid of the potential result? Most athletes, at every level, would tell you that they are a little nervous before that big game. If you don’t have those butterflies in your belly, I would be very surprised. But why are you nervous may determine the end result. If you aren’t prepared, don’t anticipate positive results. But if you are nervous because of the anticipation of the game and you are prepared, you will find yourself confident and ready for the challenge ahead!
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!
You could win gift cards to some of the places you love to hang out just for registering at the Interra Credit Union RedHawks branch. You can enter TOMORROW for a chance to win. Stop by to register and get all the details from Ailynn (pronounced Eileen) and Tricia. Let’s celebrate spring!

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.
