Last night was the third annual Future Educator Club Winter Social Alumni event! SHS students, SHS alumni currently in college, and SPS staff came together to talk about careers in education—the challenges, the highlights, and the joy of caring for children ❤️ We shared great conversations, played games, laughed, and celebrated our passion for education. Cheers to 2026 and to hopefully seeing some of these students return as future SPS staff!

Hello,
Thursday right after school in my room (124) we will have a pizza party for the players. Pizza and drinks will be available. Not needed but if anyone wants to bring in chips, cookies or other treats for the group I'm sure it would be appreciated. I will also be giving out awards for everyone but they are joke awards. We will be done by 4.
Hippen
Game is at 530 today and please be there by 445. Last game of the year. We will have a pizza party later this week but need to finalize before I set a time.
Thanks,
Coach Hippen

Hello,
We are taking a warrior wagon and will leave by 730am tomorrow. Games are at 9,11, and 115. There is a raffle and concessions and we will either stop at McDonald's or a gas station on the way home. Please send players with money and a water bottle. We will watch gold teams game at 215 so I would say we will be home around 530.
Thanks,
Hippen
