As a reminder, Students ages 16 or older must show proof of having received two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine. If your student has turned 16 the 2nd dose of the Meningococcal Vaccine is due. Please turn in your updated immunization record to the school as soon as possible.

Shelby vs. Oldham Border Battle
On the girls’ side Team Oldham was very strong earning a perfect score (7 scorers and 3
displacers) of 28 to best Team Shelby (77 points). Sophomore Audrey Bucknam (Collins) was Team Shelby’s top finisher in 8th place (23:37). She was followed by Abriella Edelen (Shelby Co. in 14th) and Mary Grace Vest of Collins in 16th. Shelby Huelsman (Collins 22nd), Paris Klemz (Shelby 23rd), Hannah McDaniel (Collins 24th), and Destiny Burke (Shelby 25th) rounded out the scoring for Team Shelby.
Collins Head Coach George Sanderlin said, “We wanted to create a relaxed and fun, yet competitive atmosphere and I think we accomplished that. The weather was great and our home course looked beautiful. We at Collins are fortunate to be one of the only high schools in the country with two captive cross country courses. Nolan Thomas proved yet again that he is one of the top runners in the state.”
The Running Titans compete next in the Regional meet on Oct. 26th at 2:00 PM at Shelby Co. High School.

Anyone up for an adventure?
We are looking for hosts for incoming exchange students, arriving next fall for the following school year. Hosts commit to room and board only, as students come with their own insurance and spending money. As their coordinator, I will help with initial paperwork, secure the school slot, and maintain the placement all year. Right now , we have Hanna from Norway who wants to join the choir and likes hiking and working with kids. Or, there’s Mads from Denmark who is into soccer, or Morris from Germany who is a junior fireman in his town, and specializes in trampoline jumping. All speak great English, but need you to host them!! Contact me with any questions/interest. Sally Crespo at 502-593-0318 or sunbeam916@yahoo.com.

Holiday Assistance
Simpsonville Baptist Church 6th Annual Toy Store
By invitation only-contact the Youth Service Center
Mission: offer families a dignified shopping experience where we offer a hand up, not a handout.
Target Population: families that make "too much" money to qualify for assistance, but still struggle financially and could use a hand up. Single parents, grandparents raising grandkids, etc.
How does our store work? Families are given the opportunity to “shop” in our store filled with NEW toys that have been donated from the community. The toys are discounted to nearly one fifth of their retail value, giving parents/guardians the opportunity to shop for their own children at a discounted price. Our store does not make a profit, all of the money that is collected goes back into the store to buy more toys.
