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.
