Congratulations to 3rd Grader Alexis Rikkers! She is our first-ever female state champion in wrestling!! She and her teammates had an amazing season, and this championship is a great way to finish a historic season for our youth and high school wrestling programs. Thank you to all of the coaches, parents, and athletes who are contributing to building this program!
On the first day of the MyWay wrestling state finals, Saranac had a great showing from the wrestling team. Faith Witt and Addison Roberts represented the school well in the girls division. Aiden Bussell and Whyatt Hicks both went 1-2 coming, one match from placement, and Gabe Webb finished with the highest MyWay placement of any Saranac High School wrestler. He finished his tournament with a 5-1 record and a 3rd place finish. The middle school wrestlers will be in action on Friday and Saturday.

Thank you to the amazing students, parents, family members, and community members who donated to the American Heart Association. This year, the students raised over $6,700 for the AHA, and in the last six years, the school has donated over $30,000! In celebration, students who raise $100 or more can slime Mr. Catrell or Mrs. W in a school assembly. Thank you to Mrs. Wernette for making this possible. She has a true passion for helping our students understand that helping the community is important and teaching them that there are things more important than just worrying about themselves. We love her enthusiasm, and it spreads to our students, which is evident by the success of this program!

Our school counselor, Mr. Austin, taught our elementary classrooms friendship lessons. Yesterday, he became a game show host of Family Feud! He surveyed the students about what they believe are the most important character traits of being a good friend. He collected the results, and yesterday, they played Family Feud with the students. According to our survey, the top answer of what makes a good friend is KINDNESS!
Please help us to kick off March is Reading month with a Dr. Seuss-themed spirit week.
