Huge shoutout to our Middle School Athletes of the Week: Haylee Hatfield and Evelyn Young!
Haylee is a player on the 8th grade Volleyball team. She is one of the team captains and led the Lady Warriors to victory over Reed City. She had the game-winning spike to finish the game at 16-14 in the third set!
Evelyn is an 8th grader on the Middle School Girls Cross Country team. During the last meet, she helped an injured runner during the race and still ran a great time! This is her first year running cross country and she always makes practice fun and keeps everyone laughing. She’s a great addition to the team and a great example of a Warrior!
Congratulations, Haylee and Evelyn!

🏀 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.

💡 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.
