From athletics to academics to music and more, Antwerp students are exhibiting remarkable decorum in this fresh and bustling time of the year.
During school, anatomy students dissected lamb hearts, band students marched outside in preparation for Disney, and much of the junior class have arranged job-shadowing opportunities for themselves. Gourmet foods students have recently begun to bake muffins during their eighth period class. These muffins are then sold on Wednesday mornings before school for one dollar, this Wednesday following suit.
The planes have landed, curtains have closed, and suitcases have been unzipped for seniors returning from their class trip. Twelfth graders are back in Antwerp and have reentered the standard high school cycle of staying up too late, procrastinating, and engaging in casual school day conversations.
Congratulations to the town’s varsity softball team, which continues to go undefeated in this spring season. The home athletic events during the upcoming week include a softball game April 8 with Kalida at 5:00, a baseball game April 8 with Parkway at 5:00, and a junior high track meet April 8 with Woodlan and Heritage at 5:00. The grind is not stopping for Antwerp’s spring athletes.
Countywide, students taking livestock to the Jr. Fair this summer have completed their required Quality Assurance training. On April 6, the exhibitors showing cattle, swine, sheep, and goats attended Livestock Tagging with their animals in preparation for fair, which is right around the corner.
Springtime, fourth quarter, and April have all set in, getting the student body involved as ever in opportunities full of growth and experience. The school year’s ending is only a blink of an eye away.
