Good Morning Talawanda. Today is Monday, March 1st, 2021.

The THS Media Center has double the number of overdue books due to the remote learning and school closings.  We did not have a chance to collect most of the books that were due from the 2019-2020 school year and most of the books that were checked out during the brief face to face weeks in late October and early November 2020.  If possible, especially those who are currently attending in person, please return or renew any book you currently have checked out that is overdue.

Seniors, if you ordered graduation announcements they can be picked up in the main office.

Seniors, you also need to make sure your senior portrait is submitted to yearbook by March 5th. If you do not submit your senior portrait, yearbook will use your life touch photo.

Here’s a round table discussion with Ms. Sarno about adapting curriculum to our new way of learning, followed by sports with Luke West Poley

The hockey team closed out their season this weekend, on Saturday the Brave defeated Olentangy Orange 6-4, Goon Squad combined for 3 goals and the Shrider boys had 1 each, Niko Amarantos also tacked one on for the Brave, on Sunday the team had their district championship hopes ended by Columbus St. Charles Prep, 2-0 was the final in that one, the Brave finish with a record of 27-8-2 and will look to reload for next season.

This past weekend the swim and dive teams competed at the state championships.  Maren Patterson finished in a tie for 21st in her 100 Freestyle and 23rd in her 100 Backstroke.  Sam Hool finished in 14th in the 1 Meter Diving Event and the boys’ relay team of Alex Carlson, Blake Madden, Ben Crowder, and Maxx Gregg finished in 22nd place in the 200 Medley.  That same foursome also placed 23rd in the 200 Freestyle Relay.  The boys finished the meet in 45th place out of the 127 schools in Division 1.  This officially concludes the swim and dive season.  Congratulations to all members of the teams for another outstanding season.
