Mrs. Snyder's 1st grade students received hand sewn pillows from Mrs. Huchteman's 7th grade FACS students. The pillows were created from coloring pages the 1st graders completed after reading the book The Day the Crayons Quit with Mrs. Van Delft. Students also received a letter and QR video from their favorite crayon created by Child Development students, a keychain created by Nest students, and a cookie replica of their coloring page created by Foods students.

Our home track meet scheduled for today, May 5th, is canceled due to weather and field conditions.
On behalf of Knox County R-1 School District, I would like to thank our Knox County Athletic Boosters for their remarkable support this year. From uniforms to senior banners to the baseball scoreboard, our Boosters have raised and contributed over $28,000 to our kids and their programs. These contributions have freed up funds for capital improvements, which have made our athletics facilities some of the best in our area. For many visitors to our county and our campus, these are the most visible signs of our community’s support and pride in our school, and they form long-lasting impressions.
That said, our Boosters need your help. A core group of six or seven individuals have managed our volunteers over the past year. It is time for elections for the next school year, and those will take place on May 23d at 6:30 pm in the high school cafeteria. Even if you are not interested in an officer position, there are jobs with very specific, limited duties that only need a willing worker and a small amount of your time. Please come to the meeting on May 23d, offer your support, and keep the momentum going for this upcoming year.
Thank you.
Keith Gudehus, Athletics/Activities Director
