Congratulations to Michael Ripple on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Ripple was nominated by Jean Boehm and son Ryan for being an understanding person and a great listener. Mr. Ripple has helped Ryan over the past three years to advocate for himself, strategize solutions to different social and academic issues, and grow in his ability to be flexible. Mr. Ripple was able to do this while making sure that Ryan stayed true to himself and his unique personality. His communication is excellent. As a parent, I always felt 'heard' by Mike and I never doubted his support of my son. I imagine he is that person for many friends, colleagues and students.

Well, it's official, Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow in front of thousands of spectators this morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. That means, according to the legend, we're in for an early spring.
This marks the first time since 2020 that Phil predicted an early spring.
If Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his burrow today and sees his shadow, he will retreat to his den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if he does not see his shadow, spring will arrive early.
Only two spots left for Driver's Ed that begins on Tuesday. Call Community Programs at 624-7068 to register.

Congratulations to Joanne Gravelle on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Gravelle was nominated by Colleen Halbohn for being an amazing teacher. She leads with respect, humor, high expectations, and kindness all at once. Her classroom is lovingly called Gravelleville, and her valiant citizens (AKA students) are Gravellians. She inspires her students. When she dressed up as Rosie the Riveter back in October (dress like someone who inspires you day), TWO students dressed up as her! What an amazing testament to the impact she has on her students.

Congratulations to Linda Hossli on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Hossli was nominated by Anya Gilbert for working for decades as the Middle School Literacy Learning Lab teacher spanning all three grade levels over the course of her career. Her favorite word is "Joy" as is evident to anyone who has had the privilege to watch her teach a lesson. She really takes the time to get to know her students as individuals. She has a true talent for intermingling life lessons into her teaching curriculum. Her unwavering commitment, dedication, and devotion to her students is why she would make an excellent recipient of The Cougar Pride Award.
Congratulations to JoAnn Potter on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Potter was nominated by Holly Pavone for being the backbone of the Middle School Counseling Center! Without fail, she is patient and kind with every student who comes to the Counseling Center. Almost single handedly, she organizes the Angel Tree during the holiday season. It is no small feat and she does it seamlessly. We are fortunate to have her working with our students at HF-L!
