Good morning, Talawanda! Today is Monday, August 21, 2018

Do you enjoy helping in the community?  Or are you looking for a way to become more involved?  Or even just looking for service hours?  If so, join the Talawanda Key Club.  We do many service projects throughout the year and will be holding our first meeting on Monday, August 27th right after school in Mr. Ruther’s room, 423.  Come and learn about the club and meet the officers.

There will be an FFA meeting this Wednesday from 1:45 – 2:30 in the PAC.  All FFA members are welcome to attend.  There will be pizza afterwards.  Go aggies!

Do you have old books from when you were younger that you don’t read anymore?  Instead of just throwing them out, donate them!  Donate books that you loved to someone in need so they can enjoy the stories too!  This is a district wide book drive sponsored by the Butler Tech/Talawanda FCCLA Chapter.  Anyone from any of the schools can donate.  You can drop the books off to any of the Talawanda School’s Main Offices, in the designated boxes!  The Book Drive will start on August 27th and run until September 7th!  All of the books will go to our local Children’s Hospitals.  If you have any questions feel free to ask Braelynn Wagers, Hannah Cress or Mrs. Gregory in room 611.

The drama club will be having an informational meeting after school on September 6 in the THS Performing Arts Center.  Anyone who is interested in seeing what goes in to the fall play both onstage and backstage should come and see what drama is all about.  If you cannot make it to the meeting and still want to audition, they will be after school on September 11.  If you have any other questions, please see Ms. Hudson or Mr. Steffen in room 317.

Birthdays for today: Isaac Bonham turns 15, Natalie Darner turns 16, and James Wynn turns 18.

And now to world news and then Patty G with sports.

Well both the girls golf and the girls tennis matches yesterday were cancelled because of rain, so I’ve got nothing to talk about in terms of results this morning.

But home games for today: Boys JV and Varsity golf take on Edgewood at Hueston Woods with a 4pm starting tee time, and the boys soccer team hosts Colerain at the field at 7.

And that’s our broadcast on this Tuesday. I’m Patrick Geshan. Do you know about the history of trees? It’s roots run deep.
