Our Sullivan JV volleyball squad brought home second place at the Windsor/Stew-Stras Tournament today! They won their pool by taking out Neoga in two sets 25–10, 25–14 and following up with a win against St Elmo 25–23, 25–22. They took second to Windsor Stew Stras in the championship 19–25, 16–25.

Our Middle School Band Section of the Week Honors go to the 6th Grade Alto Saxophones and the 7th-8th Grade Clarinets. Our Alto Saxes are rocking the 6th Grade Band by playing confidently and accurately. The 6th Grade has been progressing through their beginning band methods and attempted their first "real" band piece today just to see how they would do.

The 7th-8th Grade Clarinet section have also been wonderful in class this week (and past weeks, too)! They have been working on several potential concert pieces while some members of the band have been preparing for their ILMEA All-District Band auditions. The clarinets and band got the opportunity to play with the high school percussion and read some of the music that fans get to hear at the football home games!

The following inductees have demonstrated exceptional dedication and passion for English, earning them a well-earned spot in the National English Honor Society. Please congratulate the following new members, noted in alphabetical order by grade: sophomores- Weslee Allen, Madeline Anderson, Madelyn Atteberry, Piper Conlin, David Eaton, Jude Eckel, Alex Fultz, Rhesa Isaacs, Emmersyn Jiannoni, Brynner Johnson, Kent Lehman, Will Miller, Miles Monroe (not pictured), Avery Renfro, Daisy Richardson, Carmyn Thurston, and Colt Wilson; and junior, Claire Kursell.

Sullivan Volleyball moves to 2–1 in conference tonight with a sweep over Heritage! 🔥 Final: 25–16, 25–15 Varsity and 25-16, 25-17 JV Let’s go Lady Redskins! 🔴🏐 #RedskinPride
