Good morning, Talawanda! Today is Thursday, August 23, 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.

Do you have old books from when you were younger that you don’t read anymore?  Instead of just throwing them out, donate them!  This is a district wide book drive sponsored by the Butler Tech/Talawanda FCCLA Chapter.  Anyone from any of these 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 there after school on September 11.  If you have any other questions, please see Ms. Hudson or Mr. Steffen in room 317.

Attention National Honor Society Seniors:  Please read your email from Ms. Alfonsi regarding Marshall Mentors.

Anyone who would like to join Best Buddies this school year should plan to come to an informational meeting on Tuesday, August 28 right after school in Room 316.  The meeting is a great way to learn more about the club and register for this year.  Members from last year should plan to attend too!

Any student interested in running for class officers, please pick up an application outside Ms. Mann’s room.

There are no birthdays for today, but we wish a happy belated birthday to Mrs. Weatherwax who turned 22 yesterday.

And now for a music lesson and then Patty G with sports.

The girls volleyball team fell to Taylor in 3 close sets yesterday on the road. Their overall record falls to 0 and 2. The Braves will play next at Hamilton on Tuesday.

The girls tennis team fell yesterday in their match as well by a 5 nothing count to Badin. Their record is 0 and 4 and ironically will play at Preble Shawnee in their next match on Friday.

The boys JV golf team defeated Wyoming at Hueston Woods on Wednesday, by a score of 197 to 225.  Medalist was junior Josh Verst with a score of 46, followed by sophomore Taylor Cepluch with 48.  The Braves’ record is now 3 & 1, with Little Miami slated to be their next opponent on Thursday afternoon.

Want to tell remind all wrestlers the wrestling team will be having open practices every Sunday at 5 starting this Sunday. 

Home games for today: Boys JV and Varsity golf take on Little Miami at Hueston Woods starting at 4pm, and the Field Hockey team plays their home opener at 6:30 on the field against Ursuline.

And that’s our broadcast on this Thursday. I’m Patrick Geshan. Thanks so much for watching and we’ll see you tomorrow.
