Tickets go on sale March 25 and the drawing will be April 16—stay tuned for an email and social media updates! This is a bourbon lover’s dream, with 13 winners this year, including a grand prize of a 20-Year Pappy Van Winkle, valued at over $2,000.  Only 250 tickets will be sold!    All proceeds benefit St. Henry District High School, providing tuition assistance and helping to keep education affordable for families. Even if you are not a bourbon enthusiast, your ticket purchase supports a great cause! Thank You for Helping Us Reach Our Fund-A-Need Goal for the Walk-In Cooler! We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our families, alumni, and friends, we have reached our Fund-A-Need goal and have officially ordered a new walk-in cooler for our school kitchen!  Your donations will make a lasting impact by ensuring our students continue to receive fresh, high-quality meals while also improving energy efficiency and reducing costly repairs. We should have a full accounting from the Crusader Knight of Giving (formerly CRU Bid & Bash) after the completion of the Bourbon Raffle. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported SHDHS—your generosity continues to make a difference!  For the first time in almost two decades, an SHDHS student has placed in the Top Ten in a Content Assessment subject area at the Governor's Cup State Finals, beating hundreds of students from across the Commonwealth.  Congratulations to Freshman Luke Jankowski for placing 7th in Social Studies! He spent several years building his knowledge base in this subject area and has exploded onto the high school scene this year. Congratulations also to the whole Academic Team on their performance at the Governor's Cup State Finals!  The team consists of Captain Wendy Daniels, Stefany Nix, Luke Jankowski, Peter Holocher, Hudson Feinauer, and Aneesh Sehgal.  After five grueling rounds of Quick Recall, the team was unsuccessful in advancing on to the second day of competition, but they ended their season ranked 17th in the state! Congratulations to our lucky winners of the March Madness Watch Party's auction item! On March 20 & 21, a group of excited students got to skip class, cheer on their favorite teams in their NCAA gear, and enjoy a pizza lunch with plenty of snacks and drinks. What better way to spend the day than watching the first round of the tournament with friends? Thank you to all who bid and supported SHDHS! CRUSADER OF THE WEEK Mr. Denning nominates Senior Ainsley Potter for Crusader of the Week for Government. "Throughout the semester, Ainsley has participated in every aspect of class, from bringing up news items to asking questions to collaborating on projects. She regularly demonstrates interest in both the overall meaning of class topics as well as particular points of detail. Her generally positive attitude and willingness to be involved makes every class just a bit better. Thanks, Ainsley!" Mrs. Rudy nominates Senior Magdalene Jump for Crusader of the Week for English IV. "Magdalene is a genuine model of respect, kindness, intellect, and maturity.  She consistently demonstrates compassion for others and shows those around her that being herself, making good choices, working hard, and celebrating others' achievements help create a better and more successful school community and academic environment for learning. Not only does Magdalene complete her work with diligence and critical depth but she is always willing to go above and beyond classroom expectations to ensure her success in the future.  Magdalene is an absolute joy to teach! Congratulations, Magdalene!"
