Jr High, High School girls and boys basketball games on Thursday and Friday have been canceled. For the safety of the students, we do not feel comfortable putting kids on buses with wind chill and after dark. Jr High will not be making up South Gallia. Working on make up dates for high school games.
I'm sure it's not a surprise that we're going to go ahead and cancel for Thursday and Friday. That way parents can go ahead and make arrangements instead of waiting on the inevitable call tomorrow evening and then trying to figure it out. Also remember that the community building is open if anybody needs to come and get warmed up. Please let me know if you need anything. You're welcome to text or call me at 740-222-8311. Thanks.
Varsity Girls Basketball @ East Clinton and Freshmen Boys Basketball @ Waverly have been canceled - Wednesday, 1/28
I'm sure it's not a surprise anyone but we are going to go ahead and cancel for tomorrow. The rest of the week looks very cold, but we're going to take it day by day. Again, if anybody needs anything, please feel free to text me or give me a call at 740-222-8311. We can't work miracles, but we will sure try to help in anyway we can. Thanks.
I put this message out on Facebook but I wanted to send via text also. If anyone is in need of a place to get warm we've opened the Community Center to be used as a warming center. It has heat and restrooms, etc. It's going to get colder as the week goes on. If anyone is in need of anything please let us know. I've had dozens of community members reach out to me offering help to anyone who may need it. The Community Center is unlocked and warm. If anyone needs to use please feel free to do so. My number is 740 222 8311. Let me know if you're coming and I'll make sure to have some coffee made. If you need anything or if your kids need anything please let us know. This community wants to help - as always!!

I know some of you are going to think I'm crazy, especially if you live on a main highway or on a flat road, but we're going to cancel. I've been out driving for the past hour, and although most of the roads are pretty good, there are lots of places that have black ice. Basically, any place that does not have salt or grit is ice. We will be closed for Thursday, January 22.
