Week 5 - 2nd Six Weeks

Senior Night Class of 2011

Our Polar Bears had a rough time on Senior Night, with a very physical Chilton team. Varsity lost a hard-fought and costly game on Friday 44-13. It was costly, because we lost our running back, Daniel Steels, to a collar bone injury. Our boys are pretty beaten up after a very physical game, but are gearing up for their last district game against Wortham on Friday.


Lady Bears finished their season last Saturday against Cayuga. Junior High Girls finished their season last Monday with a winning season.


The cheerleaders gave us a memorable Pep Rally dedicated to the Class of 2011 Seniors. I'm sure a few tears were shed from parents and seniors on the last home football game of the season. This is the beginning of a long list of "lasts" for our seniors.

Vickery's Vit & Visdom

Hope you enjoyed the Senior Night festivities on Friday. The pep rally brought a few tears to us all, especially those of us that remember you as pre-k students. I consider your class special because my son started with you. Jesse also considers you special people in his life. I still remember those days in elementary school when I taught you in P.E. and constantly had to correct Page for getting out of the lines in Pacman. I remember when Heather came; when Gary left and came back; when David was too shy to speak; when I had to have my "Luke Hug" every day; when Kyle would get so upset if I corrected him; and when Joseph would make the rest of us look pretty shabby with his wardrobe. I remember the field day events, the fieldtrips to the zoo and how you always kept Jesse in your circle. The class of 2011 is a very special class. You have welcomed new students into your fold and have stayed close. I have a great picture of you from homecoming that I will post when I figure out how to get more than one picture on this blog. Cherish these days. They will be over before you know it. Take it all in. Don't miss a moment to remember. Take lots of pictures and enjoy each other. And always remember, that there is life after high school.
