Today's pep rally at the high school featured a very special moment for Mallory Heise. The all-time leading scorer in Hilton Girls Basketball history was presented with a citation from New York State Assemblyman Josh Jensen to commemorate her great career.
A great Spring Pep Assembly at the high school to send us into spring break-Limbo, slime, Tug of war, musical chairs and hungry, hungry bunny!
As the rest of us are heading off to spring break Rob Steinorth, who has manned the security desk at QUEST for the past seven years is heading into retirement. Thank you, Rob, for your service and enjoy your retirement!

It's off to the National Invention Convention for a pair of Northwood students! Livia Standing and Estelle Greiner were selected by judges this weekend at the Western New York Convention in Buffalo to move on to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Livia created the Seal Swiper, a device that safely and cleanly removes the plastic from the top of condiment bottles and other household items. Estelle's invention, the Snow Snatcher keeps snow from falling onto your seat when you open your car door.
Congratulation and good luck to these incredible inventors!

Merton Williams is lucky to have Bill West behind the wheel, safely transporting students every day. Bill greets everyone with a smile and helps fix our Parent Drop-Off sign if the winds have blown it over. Bill's Integrity, along with his People First attitude shine brightly.
