Republic County USD 109

Seniors that have a Munden, Cuba, Narka, Haddam, Mahaska, or Morrowville address make sure you check out the Margaret Hess Boyle Scholarship. The requirements have been in the Belleville Telescope for the last two weeks. The due date is not until June 30th, but it would be much easier to get transcripts and letters of recommendation while you are still in school! This is for students who are attending any kind of post-secondary education. So technical schools, trade schools, and community college students may also apply, as well as those who plan to attend a 4 year institution. Please see one of the counselors if you have questions.

Come out and support RCHS Senior Emma Hubert at her Senior Vocal Showcase! Free admission, however donations will be accepted to go to the RCHS Choir Program!

USD 109 wants to honor exemplary teachers who go above and beyond to ensure students are growing and learning. Please nominate a teacher today! Nominations are open from May 1st-13th.

RCHS Baseball loses the first game to Bennington 4-16. Adam Krohn did hit a homerun over the left field fence in the first inning. Buffs drop the second game 1-15.

Lady Buff Softball drops the first game to Valley Heights 1-2. Strong defense on both teams led to a defensive battle, where the Lady Buffs had the tying run on in the bottom of the 7th but could not get her across the plate. In the second game Lady Buffs flip the story line and win 5-1.

It's a great day to come out and watch some baseball and softball in Belleville! Good Luck to our Buffaloes!
