Students “Sound-Off” on Snow Days


2/10/2011

Due to unbelievable amounts of ice, frigid temperatures, and widespread power outages, Neoga High School students have seen a few more snow days than expected this winter. They reacted in various ways to the recent inclement weather and its effects on their education.

“It was a great time to study and relax.”
“People need to learn to drive on ice, eventually.”
“I thought it was great – like a mini-vacation!”
“I got sick of staying home every day without being able to leave.”
“I was really bored and actually wanted to come to school.”

Neoga School Spirit Award

It’s that time of year again! It’s time for the faculty to choose the winner of Neoga High School’s Spirit Award! However, not just anyone can win this award. To start, you must be a senior this year. Next, of course, is how you show your school spirit, and go beyond the “call of duty” in your life. You should be well rounded-not just in academics, but in sports programs and the community as well.

Furthermore, the winner should show kindness, unselfishness, and should illustrate a positive attitude. The winner should be involved in the community, and active in clubs. With all of these factors considered, our faculty members have chosen three seniors that they feel best fits this award, and would like to thank and congratulate the one that they feel stands out above the rest with his or her achievements.

The votes are in, and congratulations Tyler Pikowski! For upcoming seniors, just remember, this isn’t an award based solely on athletic achievement -- there are other important factors involved. So, good luck to our 2011-2012 seniors!
