Special thanks to CYCA members Kaylee Hall, Nicole Basler, and Tess Brummer for not letting the rain stop them from helping co-sponsor Carlee Coplea get some items planted in the community garden behind Pack Rats. Various CYCA members will be tending the garden in the weeks and months to come. The club hopes to eventually donate some produce to the Elementary food pantry.
Congratulations Ms. Mary Enmon on her retirement! Tonight was her last night in the hallways. Ms. Mary has been an Appleknocker for 16 years and has always gone above and beyond for everyone here. Thank you for your years of dedication Mary. Enjoy retirement, you deserve it!

After attending the Dale Fowler Youth Summit, Civics student Aubrey Fisher was selected to represent all of Southern Illinois on the Lt. Governor's "We Are One: Women & Girls Virtual Summit" on March 24th and was able to advocate for our next generation of women. Aubrey stated, "Speaking with Lieutenant Governor Stratton and others on the call was inspiring and insightful! The atmosphere was super welcoming and supportive. I was able to talk to Lt. Governor Stratton about the disparities between rural schools and larger ones. Being able to speak to such a high ranking official about this matter was incredible." Congratulations Aubrey and thank you for representing us so well!
