By Kate Pritchard, Library Director
As the school year draws to a close, the time has come for our library books to return to their shelves. Middle and High Schoolers' books checked out this school year are due back to the Hassenfeld Library by Friday, May 8. Lower Schoolers' books are due Friday, May 15. After these dates, any books remaining on your account will be marked lost, and you will be charged a replacement fee for each book.
In the next few weeks, all rising Middle School and High School students will get a preview of their summer reading lists from our librarians. At this time, they will be allowed to check out up to three books for the summer. Students who have books checked out must return them before checking out new books for the summer. Rising LS students may not check out books from our library over the summer.
Books checked out over the summer will be due back to the library on Friday, August 21, at the end of the first week of school.

Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
