Put-in-Bay School News November 2017

Once again, this year, our school will utilize “School Messenger” to inform parents of important announcements, such as school closings or delays. We will now make this available to everyone in our community. If you would like to be notified by text or voice message of school closings or delays, announcements of events, etc., don’t hesitate to contact the school at 419-285-3614 to sign up.

Our volleyball team completed a fascinating season. Their final record of 4-6 does not reflect the competitiveness and improvement the girls displayed. The Panthers lost five of their six games in the fifth set! The girls also hosted a “Volley 4 a Cure” game and raised over 250 dollars for breast cancer research. Good job, Panthers! The team was led by seniors Erin Urge, Gwena Market, and Tatyana Kowalski; junior Lauren Peter; sophomore Hannah Lentz and Alex Knauer; and freshmen Nora Ladd, Elena Schroeder, and Lucy Schneider. We want to thank Patrick Myers and WPIB.com for broadcasting our games.

November brings another cross-country season to an end. Once again, our runners enjoyed another beautiful fall training on South Bass Island. The Put-in-Bay team, made up of 13 runners in grades 7 through 12, competed each weekend at seven area meets and the Miller Ferry Boat Line 5K., Our younger runners, learned the ‘ins and outs’ of the sport, with some running and competing for the first time.

They all strived to improve their time with every race. Our veteran runners worked equally as hard with freshman Blake Booker and junior Lauren Peter having the fastest finish times. Lauren finished 2nd in Ottawa County and 4th overall at the NW Ohio District meet. She then competed in the Regional meet at the end of October. This year we say goodbye to senior Erin Urge, who has been running cross-country at Put-in-Bay School since her 7th-grade year.Put-in-Bay School News November 2017 Photo

Now that November is upon us, basketball season is here! Coach Craig Schuffenecker will coach the junior high and high school teams, and Ms. Riley Conway will be our cheerleading advisor. We have enough players to field a boys and girls high school team, while the junior high will remain coed. Support the teams every Saturday morning this winter, or listen to the games on WPIB Radio.

A student-led program will take place in the school’s gymnasium, and all veterans are encouraged to attend, along with the public. Thank you, veterans, for your service to our country. Congratulations to seventh grader Macy Ladd for winning the State Severe Weather Poster Contest this past summer.
