Softball practice for tonight is cancelled.
The photographer has to do things a little differently this year when it comes to late turn in orders. The cut-off for turning in late orders TO THE SCHOOL will be this Thursday morning, 9/3. AFTER that, parents can still order; they just will need to do so through the online site. www.ppischoolpics.com
Students - Are you wanting to get involved more? Do you have lots of ideas of activities or events we could host? Are you creative and outgoing? If you answered yes to any of these questions student council may be for you! Tell your homeroom teacher today if you would like an application to join. They will be passed out tomorrow. Applications will be due Friday and students will vote Wednesday for who will represent the student body at MCMS.

Good Morning Raiders,
I've been contacted by the Census Bureau to get the word out about taking the Census. Currently, our district completion numbers are pretty low compared with other areas. I know these types of things are a pain, but the future funding of the district will be greatly impacted by our responses. Please take a couple of minutes to complete this, so we can continue to provide the many great programs we have for our students. Oh, and tell your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same! https://my2020census.gov/
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
We are moving up our yearbook pictures. They will be taken NEXT Tuesday, September 1 and order forms will go home with students tomorrow.

The Cross Country meet scheduled for tomorrow (8/25) has been cancelled.
The Raiders baseball team swept a pair of games on Saturday against the Delavan Panthers, 2-0 and 9-1, behind strong pitching and defense including a NO HITTER by Griffin Meeker in game 1! Griffin allowed NO hits, struck out four and only walked three in the complete game shutout while the Raiders defense played ERROR FREE baseball throughout the day! In game 1 Rex Watts was 2-3 with the Raiders lone RBI as the Raiders prevailed 2-0. In game 2 the Raider bats got going, pounding out 8 hits with Ashton Sledge and Zach Highland each ripping 2 hits a piece and Josh Dawe, Zach Highland, Kam Merrill and James Parker all collecting at least 1 RBI in the game. Preston Sledge was the winning pitcher in game 2, going 3 and 2/3 innings while only allowing 3 hits and striking out 6 with Owen Schmidt coming in and slamming the door, striking out all four hitters he faced! The Raiders next game is on Tuesday at home against Brimfield.
I can't thank our parents and students enough for their kind cooperation. We're all on edge right now, and the cooperation and kindness shown this morning makes me proud to be a Raider!!
I realize our rules are strict on students coming to school presenting any symptoms. Below you will find a link to yesterday's IDPH guidance on how we must treat students and their siblings if they come to school with COVID-like symptoms. Please keep in mind this has changed at least 2 times this week and we expect further changes.
Again, it's exciting to have our students back. We've heard from many of you about how happy you are about school being mostly in-person. Our community survey reported 93% of respondents wanted in-person instruction and we're listening.
From the Board of Education, Administration, Teachers, and Staff we can't thank you enough for all you do to support our efforts. We'll keep working hard to give our community the best possible experience while trying our best to follow IDPH and CDC guidance.
Raider STRONG!
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.
