The main focus of this year\u2019s FCCLA week is to encourage students to join them in supporting March of Dimes, which is a program aimed to help premature babies. To raise awareness, students were asked to dress up as babies on Tuesday. As a way to raise money for this cause, students have been purchasing purple shirts and wristbands; FCCLA will continue to sell this merchandise at the home game tomorrow night. This group also set up a faculty breakfast yesterday to show appreciation for the staff. For Valentine\u2019s Day, they have been selling flowers to students so they can have a few of these flowers sent to their friends today during the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we will raise money for March of Dimes and also have a fun, extra activity for students to do for Valentine\u2019s Day. For example, we are decorating cupcakes and passing out flowers on Thursday,\u201d FCCLA adviser Ms. Christa Gasser said. \u00a0\u201cI hope that people know more about March of Dimes by the end of this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Knight basketball was in action. On Friday night, the varsity and JV boys basketball team played well against Bluffton, both winning the games. On Saturday, they traveled up to Wayne Trace to play the Raiders. Both teams fell short, but played very well throughout the game. This weekend the boys will play at Columbus Grove on Friday night and home against New Knoxville on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The girls varsity and JV teams played at home on Monday. The varsity finished with a score of 59 to 24 over the Raiders. \u201cI think we have played really well this year, considering that everybody said we had a young team. Our goal is to get to districts so we can face Ottoville again and have a rematch of the game for district,\u201d junior Kirstin Hicks said.<\/p>\n

The middle school boys played in the final four of the NWC McDonald\u2019s tournament and beat Columbus Grove with a score of 47 to 48, advancing to the next game. Both teams were back in action on Tuesday against Spencerville.<\/p>\n

Junior-Senior English will be collecting aluminum cans for donation this Saturday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. These proceeds will be puts towards the Jon L. Amundson Memorial Scholarship fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing different activities that we think Mr. Amundson would approve of, because we are putting the money towards his memorial scholarship. We sold the trees in the fall, we\u2019re recycling now, and in the spring we will be doing out door cleanup activities,\u201d teacher Pam Brown said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
