Winter Season Activities
Winter season activities are in full swing. From a school play to music performances to basketball, dance squad routines and wrestling, Chillicothe R-II Schools are very active this winter. Remaining Elementary, Middle, and High School music performances are set for: December 10 First Grade; December 11 3rd Grade; December 13 High School; December 17 5th Grade; and December 18 Middle School. All performances are held at the Gary Dickinson Performing Arts Center at the High School.
On Friday, December 14, the High School Student Council will be sponsoring Jam The Gym. This event is designed to fill the high school gym with Hornet Fans as the High School Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball team takes on the varsity teams of South Harrison. The games begin at 6 p.m. and we hope you will join us to cheer and support our Hornet basketball teams. A few changes have occurred with the improved parking lot at the High School. In addition to more handicap accessible parking, the circle drive in front of the High School has been designated an emergency vehicle zone. No longer will parking be allowed around the circle drive. The drive is now marked by a red curb indicating a Fire Lane and No Parking zone. So as you come out to enjoy the Hornet Basketball season and other events, we encourage everyone to use the new parking lot and to keep the main drive open to allow for emergency access of ambulance or fire rescue if ever needed.
School will be dismissed early, noon, on December 21 for the end of the first semester and holiday break. School will resume on Monday, January 7, 2013. Coming soon will be details on the Chillicothe R-II plans for early dismissal due to inclement weather. Watch for this article in the next few weeks.
Until next time, have a good week and I look forward to seeing you at the R-II District events.
