The Raiders baseball team moves to 4-2 on the season with an 11-1 victory and double header sweep over Chester East Lincoln!
In game 1, Ryan Terrill was dominant on the mound in the 5 inning affair, only allowing one hit while whiffing 10 Panthers.
It was another team effort at the plate, with 7 different Raiders picking up hits and 5 different Raiders picking up RBIs. Dalton Johnson, Griffin Meeker, Collin Price and Josh Dawe all had 2 hits for the Raiders, with Dawe picking up 3 RBI and Dalton Johnson and Griffin Meeker each chipping in 2 RBIs.
In game 2, the Raiders came from behind picking up 4 runs in the last inning to take the game 5-4! Zane Arthalony picked up the victory on the mound, and Malachi Carroll, Kaleb McGlothlin and Jaxon Tumilty all picked up hits. Malachi Carroll also knocked in 2 for the Raiders!
The Raiders look to keep it going tomorrow in an away game at Athens!
Join our team!

Hello Raider Families,
We've successfully navigated the first few days of the year. While there are always adaptations and some confusion those first couple days, I'd say things have gone very well. Much of the success couldn't have happened without your help and support. I realize bus times are slower those first few days because getting 3, 4, and 5 year old students on the bus can be a challenge. Dismissal has improved each day. We're off to a good start, and I believe our students will have a more "normal" experience this year.
Thank you for your patience and encouragement.
Raider Proud,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
Congrats Lady Raiders on your win against Delavan yesterday!!!!!

Hello Raiders,
As the back to school plan mentions we will be implementing the “Test to Stay” option this year. It’s an approved protocol for close contacts. We will use the BinaxNOW Rapid Test which involves a simple, noninvasive Q-tip like nasal swab. This isn’t the “let’s find your brain” test that some of you may be familiar with. Test to stay requires tests day 1,3,5, and 7.
If your child is considered a close contact and symptom free you don’t have to quarantine this year, if your child has been COVID positive in the last 90 days, they're fully vaccinated, or you as the parent consent to the Test to Stay. If none of these apply, then your child be required to quarantine for the 10 days. Those that opt in to the Test to Stay and follow through with the protocol will be able to stay in school and participate as normal in all school activities.
As we now know, even fully vaccinated people can get COVID. If fully vaccinated, I’d still suggest after day 5 of exposure that you get a rapid test so as to not spread COVID to others. The opt in form is attached and will need to be filled out and provided to your school nurse in order to get a COVID test. You may also request a test voluntarily if your child has some questionable symptoms and you just want to “be sure”. We did this last spring with staff and students and it worked very well.
We sent the form home with students, all families received a copy of it via TeacherEase, and included below you can find a link to it on our website. I would suggest getting this on file with the nurse in advance, so should you need a test you can get one without hassle and not disrupt your student's attendance.
Sincerely,
Todd Hellrigel
