We are extra appreciative of our School Social Worker, Mrs. Shindorf, this week! You are a steady voice when it's needed most, a listening ear that always shows up with kindness and care, and a safe space for all students. Because of you, our school is stronger and kinder, and we are so grateful for all that you do!
In the fourth quarter, we saw some big points from Pepper Howard, Camryn Taylor, and Memphis-Leigh Kern-Ruesink. That spark lit a fire under our girls, allowing them to outscore Summerfield 9–6 in the final quarter. The team played tough defense, worked together offensively, and continued to compete until the final buzzer.
Unfortunately, they fell just short of the win, but the Lady Aggies showed great determination and heart throughout the game.
HS practices begin March 9th
MS track practice begins March 30th (6th-8th grade)
In order to participate, athletes must have an athletic physical dated on or after April 15th, 2025 on file in the high school office.
Good luck and go Aggies!

Every Friday our playground supervisors will be picking a King and a Queen from each grade level. Supervisors will be watching for students who show PBIS and 1SC on the playground.
On Monday, February 23rd, the Lady Aggies' 8th grade basketball team hosted Morenci for a home matchup. They went into halftime with a 13-11 lead and maintained their advantage through the end of the fourth quarter.
Morenci rallied late to tie the game and force overtime.
The girls battled through an intense double-overtime matchup but ultimately fell to Morenci 33-29 at the end of the second overtime. Overall, the girls fought hard, played as a team, and ran our plays well, creating open opportunities and good looks at the basket. The so played tough with aggressive defense throughout the game.
Cooper Robinson, Grace Hassenzahl, and Pepper Howard led the team in scoring.
Sand Creek junior, Peyton Luck, will be competing at MHSAA Bowling Individual State Finals this weekend. Peyton qualified by placing 6th out of 44 bowlers at Regionals. We wish Peyton good luck as she puts the finishing touches on a successful season!
The Aggies found themselves in early foul trouble on Monday night in the boys basketball district matchup vs Clinton. 3 minutes into the game the Aggies had found themselves on the short end of the whistle and the Redwolves were already shooting bonus shots, and the foul deficit had grown to 7-1 within the blink of an eye. With several players already in deep trouble, the Aggies were forced to sit starters for the entire first half, and the game revolved around the referees’ whistles from that point until the final horn blew. Unable to overcome the uphill battle, the Aggies fell 48-57. Grady Hazelwood was one of the few that was able to avoid the ire of the whistle and was able to play hard all night leading the Aggies with a 20 point night. Gavin Eack was also able to chip in 11 points. All in all the Aggies finish the season 4-18, but the record does not reflect how much progress the team made in the last month alone. Big things are on the horizon for these guys and the program in the coming years. I'm so proud of the tenacity that was displayed throughout the season. It would have been easy to pack it in and call it a season, but the guys never did that. They played hard and gave some really good teams a run for their money. Can't wait for next season.

The Sand Creek Board of Education thanks the community and staff for their participation and dedication throughout the superintendent search process.
Three of the five candidates selected for interviews this week have withdrawn their candidacy. While the two remaining candidates are strong, the Board believes it is in the best interest of the district to ensure a broader pool of finalists before making a decision.
This week's interviews are now canceled. The Board is currently evaluating next steps and will determine how to proceed at a special meeting, which is open to the public, tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25 at 6:00 p.m.
The Board remains committed to conducting a thoughtful and thorough search to select the next superintendent for Sand Creek Community Schools.
Quarter Mania is quickly approaching!
