🏀 Why an Auxiliary Gym Matters 🏋️♂️
We've heard lots of questions about the need for an auxiliary gym. If you've spent time around our high school and middle school athletics programs—especially in winter—you know our teams often start practice in the early morning and finish as late as 9 PM. Our cheer teams even have to use the cafeteria for practice space. Simply put, we don’t have enough gym space to meet every team’s needs.
In this short video, Bond Co-Chair Larry Jose explains why an auxiliary gym with a walking track and dedicated wrestling room is such an important part of the 2025 bond proposal.

🎉 Way to Go, Mosaic Students! 🎉
Our Mosaic students have been working hard in their virtual learning program, and last week we celebrated their academic achievements with a fun trip to Anderson & Girls Orchard! Students enjoyed a wagon ride, donuts and cider, and time with the animals as a reward for their efforts.
To qualify, students needed to show steady progress in their courses by earning ½ credit and being at least ⅓ of the way through their next class — while maintaining passing grades.
We are so proud of these Warriors for their dedication and success in a virtual learning environment! ❤️💙

Happy Homecoming, Warrior Nation!
💡 Myth vs Fact: 2025 Bond Proposal 💡
We’ve heard some questions and concerns about the upcoming 2025 bond proposal, so we wanted to clear the air. Here’s a quick look at a few common myths—and the facts you need to know.
❌ Myth #1: This bond will raise my taxes.
✅ Fact: Not true! The bond is a zero mill increase, which means the tax rate will stay at 2.41 mills—still one of the lowest in the area. The way our current debt is structured allows us to address important facility needs without increasing your tax rate.
❌ Myth #2: Rising property values mean I’ll pay more.
✅ Fact: Property values are set by your local government, NOT the school district. While adjusted property values can change the dollar amount you pay per mill, the bond itself does not increase the tax rate.
❌ Myth #3: The district can use bond money for anything it wants.
✅ Fact: By law, bond funds must be used strictly for facilities and infrastructure, not for salaries or operating expenses. This includes:
• Renovating classrooms and updating HVAC systems
• Improving safety and security, like secure entrances, updated locks, and modern fire alarms
• Expanding gym and community spaces
We hope this clears up some of the confusion! The 2025 bond proposal is about making our schools safe, modern, and welcoming spaces for students while also providing community benefits.

🐤 Baby Chicks in the Classroom! 🐤
We have some adorable news from our FFA Broiler Project — baby chicks have officially arrived! Students in Mrs. Spry’s High School and Middle School Agriculture classes are caring for them as part of their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). It’s hands-on learning at its best.
They’re raising these chicks to learn about growth tracking, proper feeding, hygiene, recordkeeping, and more. This isn’t just about chickens — it’s about responsibility, science, economics, and seeing how work turns into results.
Yesterday was National #TeachAg Day — a day to celebrate amazing Ag teachers across the country. We’re so grateful for Mrs. Spry and all she does to bring agriculture to life for our students!
Let’s give a cheer for these chicks, our FFA students, and Mrs. Spry! 💙❤️
