Well today is a big day for Talawanda athletics as three senior athletes will sign to continue their athletic careers in college. Sam Robinson will play soccer at the University of Cincinnati, Sean Mondello will dive at Miami, and Jenna Jarvis will play soccer at Kings University. I caught up with some of the signees this morning. 

And we couldn’t find Jenna today, who takes CCP classes, but she will be at the signing this afternoon which is right after school at 1:30pm in the Media Center. All are invited to attend as the three athletes sign to officially commit to their respective colleges —  So congratulations to these 3 athletes.

It is November and with this month comes Movember — the worldwide initiative to raise awareness for men’s health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. To support this cause, men across the country start growing facial hair to call attention to men’s health issues. Many teachers in our building are participating in Movember including Mr. Z, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Silberstein, Mr. Hunsche, Mr. York, and Mr. Aerni. If you see them today, give them a quick thanks for supporting such an important cause, and all of them will accept donations if you wish to give.
