Sullivan High School

Congratulations to the Sullivan 6th Grade Volleyball Team and Coach Ray for bringing home the championship at the ALAH 5/6 Grade Tournament! The girls battled all afternoon, earning wins over Monticello, Villa Grove, and Arthur to advance to the championship match against Maroa-Forsyth. They finished strong, winning in two sets: 25–15, 25–23. Sullivan 5th Grade Volleyball and Coach Bickel also had a great showing, finishing second in their pool to Maroa-Forsyth, who went on to win the tournament. The girls showed strong serving, scrappy defense, and great teamwork throughout the morning. The future is bright for Sullivan Volleyball, and we are incredibly proud of these athletes and the way they competed and represented our program. ❤️🖤🏐🏐🔥

Good luck to our Sullivan Co-op Swimmers at Sectionals Sat. 2/21 in Champaign! Grant Martin and Charles Guyot representing Sullivan, Nathan Rafferty from ALAH, and Henry Woolley of Shelbyville

Ms. Taylor’s SHS Health classes are progressing through their nutrition unit by engaging in a variety of practical activities. Students conducted research on fast food restaurants to identify healthier versus less healthy options and to determine which items offer the most nutritional value. Additionally, students have been learning how to read food labels to better inform their future food choices and develop an awareness of nutritional content. To further their goal of becoming conscious consumers, students participated in a hands on activity, Re-think Your Drink, where they measured the sugar content in several popular beverages.

The Child Development class has progressed into the infant development stage, and this week Ms. Voegel’s "Labor & Delivery” room was introduced. Students had the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences with the RealCare Babies. These simulation babies offer students a realistic, 24-hour perspective on the responsibilities, demands, and challenges associated with parenting and caring for newborns. Activities included packing a diaper bag, dressing an infant, securing a car seat, soothing, and swaddling. Through these experiences, students are developing essential skills and gaining insight into the responsibilities of adulthood. Additionally, this program provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore potential career pathways in early childhood education, daycare, and healthcare fields.

IHSA Member Schools Pass August 5th Start Date for Football

The IHSA member schools in December moved up the first week of football games, which redcued the minimum number of practice days for a player before they can play in their first game. In response, the member schools on Friday voted to move the start of football practices to Wednesday, August 5th, which restores the ability for players to get 12 practices in before the first game.

We realize this change can cause a hardship on families' summer scheduling. We will have a full summer schedule out as soon as possible, but hopefully this information gives you preliminary information to plan with.

For all other HS fall sports, the start date of season remains August 10th. For all HS sports, the IHSA "Dead Week" remains June 28-July 5 (passed by member schools in December)

If you have any questions, please contact AD Mr. Huber huberc@sullivan.k12.il.us

Culinary Arts has been alive with creativity, igniting a fire in the kitchen like never before. Culinary 3 dedicated their week to crafting pure magic with The Great Ingredient Function, expertly exploring the perfect chocolate chip cookie—an adventure filled with anticipation and excitement. After much debate, they’re almost certain that melted butter holds the secret to divine results, and their enthusiasm for this discovery is contagious. Meanwhile, the talented chefs in Culinary 2 poured their hearts into mastering the art of French Omelettes in their advanced breakfast unit, pouring soul into each fold. They even took a playful detour with a classic egg in a basket, simply because they love the craft. Culinary 1 students reignited their passion with knife skills on the cutting boards, transforming humble canned tomatoes into vibrant, mouthwatering salsa using only fresh ingredients. Every moment has been a celebration of culinary passion, a testament to their dedication, creativity, and love for the art of cooking.
