Big Cat Classic Champions!!!
Congratulations to the Wildcats for overcoming a loud, spirited environment to defeat Salem 71-61.
There will be changes for the Big Cat Classic beginning next season. Both girls and boys JV and varsity teams will play on the same day the Tuesday before Thanksgiving - November 22. Games will be at Salem next season and Licking in 2023.
The JV Wildcats improve to 9-2 on the season after defeating Salem 69-21.
Tonight’s JV and Varsity games at Salem will be streamed on the KSMO Stream page. The JV will have video but no audio.
Check out the JV boys basketball tournament bracket! This year's field consists of several teams having really good seasons. All four games on Monday are in the FEMA as the girls teams have games in the Sherman Hill Field House that night. We anticipate this tournament being very competitive.
In a rematch of a game on January 10th that the Lady Wildcats won, state-ranked St. James gets the win this time 56-50. The Lady Wildcats are now 16-4 on the season.
The JV girls move to 10-1 on the season and avenge their only loss of the season after defeating St. James tonight 33-29.
Mrs. Buehlmann says, "Congratulations to our newly elected Region 9 President, Samantha Hall, and our newly elected Region 9 Recreational Leader, Gracie Berriault! I'm incredibly proud of these two girls and the hard work they put into preparing for elections this week."
Do you have a child who will be 5 years old by August 1? It’s time to schedule kindergarten screenings! 🥳
JUST ADDED!
The Lady Wildcats will travel back to St. James tonight for a rematch of state-ranked teams. St. James is #7 in Class 4 and our Lady Wildcats are #4 in Class 3.
JV will be a full game and tip off at 6:00.
Due to a shortage of officials, tomorrow night’s girls basketball game at Ava has been cancelled.
Big Cat Classic champions! Thank you Town & Country Bank for sponsoring this evening.
Dear Parents & Guardians,
You may have seen neighboring districts post "AMI" or Alternative Methods of Instruction days on local news channels and wondered about our school district’s plan. While we are NOT planning to be closed, we recognize the need to plan for the worst and hope for the best. The state gives school districts a maximum of 36 hours to be used for Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI). Our reportable school day is 6.8 hours, so we would have an allowance of 5 full days if we could not operate in person. (So far we have only had weather cancellation days -- a total of 5 -- and we built 10 weather cancellation days into our calendar.)
In the next few days, teachers will be sending home packets labeled “AMI Days”. Please set these packets aside at home in case we would have to switch to AMI from in-person learning. In this scenario, teachers would be available during school hours to answer questions about the activities in each packet. Although each of our secondary students has a Chromebook that can be taken home, not all students' homes are connected with internet access. Parents and students could use the Remind app, Class Dojo, email, or phone calls to communicate back and forth. Those who have internet connection could also use Teams chat or class meetings. Students would return these packets for course credit upon return to school. (It is not necessary to have students complete instructional packets unless the district posts a school cancellation labeled “AMI Day”.)
We appreciate your efforts to plan for “What If…” with us. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (573) 674-2911.
Sincerely,
Cristina Wright
Showcase Originals 316 will broadcast the girls’ games tonight and tomorrow on their YouTube page beginning around 6:45. The link is below.
