IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week:  Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus was quoted in Sports Illustrated saying, “How many 22-year-olds ask anybody for advice?”  He was impressed about the surprising trend of young PGA Tour players visiting him in search of tips.  Who do you look to for advice outside of your parents or coaches?  Have you ever thought about reaching out to a former player in your community for a tip or two?  Whether you are 15 or 22, you are never too young to keep learning.  Seeking advice from someone older that has experience in your sport could give you a different philosophy and viewpoint on how to improve your game!

Attention Juniors and Seniors:  Prom tickets are now on sale during lunches Tuesday-Friday through May 13^th for $35 each, payable by cash or check.  The price will increase to $45 the week of prom, so get your tickets now!

The Animal Aid Clinic South has openings for part-time kennel attendants.  The position entails a lot of cleaning, but also provides an opportunity for education in patient restraint, medication administration, etc.  This is a great “foot in the door” opportunity for any student interested in a career in veterinary medicine.  Kennel attendants work 2-3 days per week, including holidays and weekends.  Those interested can drop by the Animal Aid Clinic South and fill out an application, or can contact Dr. Stacey Dean at animalaidclinicsouth@gmail.com.
