Warriors Meet Grizzly Fate
In the aftermath of the Warriors’ 78-6 defeat at the paws of the Rock Hills Grizzlies one needs hardly go into great depths of analysis; the victorious squad was stronger, faster, more numerous, and fiercer. One might examine the difficulties of properly defending option football or of establishing the run against physically superior players, but those would be indulgent and, more importantly, distracting. A program only defeats one such as Rock Hills by elevating itself as a program, through the efforts of every part of the team, on the field and off. One happy note of this contest (small . . .
Blujays Outlast the Warriors
The Warriors went to Beloit on a chilly night last Thursday to take on the Blujays and came up short on the scoreboard. The Warriors had some missed opportunities early on offense that put them behind on the scoreboard early. The team kept fighting the entire game and played a really good second half on both sides of the ball. We learned the character of our team was high because we could have just folded on a cold night and quit, but we kept fighting and learned a lot about ourselves and what it takes to be a champion. The Warriors have one game left this week in Miltonvale against the Lincoln . . .

Grades K, 1 & 2 Visit Firehouse
On Tuesday October 8, 2019 the kindergarten,1st, and 2nd grade got to go downtown and learn more about fire safety. Jason Rourke did an excellent job explaining to our students what their equipment is used for. We had lots of interesting questions like “Why don’t you have a fire pole?” and “Where is the Dalmatian?”. Jason also let the students shoot the fire house! That was quiet exciting for us all. This is fire safety week and we have been reading books about fire fighters and safety. If your family does not have a fire escape plan, please figure one out soon and talk to your child about . . .
EXCELLENT DAY FOR RUNNERS AT BELOIT
It was another great week for the running Warriors. Once again, the great weather reflected in the way everyone ran. Leading up to Thursday, no one knew if we were even going to have the meet because of the rain. Beloit High and Beloit Country Club together decided to cancel all Jr. High races and allow only High School runners to run. Dusty Mason started the day off in good fashion by improving on his seasonal best by over a minute and a half and missing his Personal Best by around 30 seconds. Next, we had the JV races, and the boys and girls once again ran together. On the boy’s side Levi Cool got off to . . .
"Doll Clinic" Visitation
On September 24th, the Glasco kindergarten class went to the Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems for a “Doll Clinic” visitation. The students visited the emergency room, the x-ray department, the out-patient surgery wing, visited with "Smokey Sue,” rode in an ambulance, visited cardiac rehabilitation wing, and had a hand washing lesson in the lab. This goal of this program is to help children feel comfortable if he (she) must come to the hospital because of an injury or illness. Over the many years, the hospital staff has found that those who go through this clinic are more . . .

Southern Cloud Industrial Education
We have had a lot of new and exciting things going on in the shops over the summer. We were thrilled to be awarded grants from the Miltonvale Lions Club, Carl Perkins Grants and a Duclos Grant to allow us to purchase some new equipment.
