The Attica DECA chapter has set a goal for $75 for the MDA organization. We have met 35% of our goal and will continue promoting the pinups for $1 through December 12. During the holiday season, why not support MDA/DECA.

The WRCTE North criminal Justice students helped with the yearly Shop With a Cop event on Friday. The Fountain-Warren Fraternal Order of Police coordinates this event every December. The criminal justice students helped the elementary students shop for toys and clothes. This activity helps criminal justice students learn the importance of the relationship between police and community.

Attica schools will be operating on a two hour delay for Tuesday, December 2nd. Stay warm!

We would like to welcome Mr. Allen Nosler to the AHS Rambler Family! He is a Navy and Marine veteran. He lives in Covington with his wife, Maren. He has an adult daughter who is a professional bodybuilder, living in Houston, Texas. He has worked for the federal or state government for most of his adult life in various roles from a call center worker to a deputy administrator. He has completed a marathon, and a half ironman triathlon, along with multiple trail runs, 5k's and adventure races. At home, he enjoys spending time with family, exercising, and enjoying the outdoors. He always wanted to be a teacher and is thrilled to get the opportunity to serve Attica and be a part of the Rambler Nation as a special education teacher!

With harsh winter weather conditions, Attica schools will be operating on a two-hour delay Monday, December 1st.

We all have a lot to be grateful for, usually more than we realize while we're caught up in the hustle and bustle of modern life. We here at the Attica schools are so very thankful for the children, families, and everyone else in this amazing community. You really do make Attica the place to be. Thank you!

We are very excited to welcome Mr. Scott Frye to Attica schools! Mr. Frye will be be stepping into the role of AHS Principal in January, following Mrs. Balensiefer's retirement. Mr. Frye comes to Attica Jr.-Sr. High School with a long and diverse background in education and leadership. He has been a classroom teacher, a curriculum director, an assistant principal, and a principal. Most recently, he has been serving as director of human resources. Many of us had an opportunity to meet Mr. Frye as he was officially welcomed by the school board at Monday's board meeting. Welcome to our Attica Rambler family, Mr. Frye!

Mrs. Barbi Balensiefer, principal of Attica Jr.-Sr. High School will be retiring at the end of the fall semester. Mrs. Balensiefer has served in public education for 33 years. In her time at AHS, Mrs. Balensiefer has been principal, assistant principal, and assistant athletic director. With a love of hands-on-learning and a strong focus on reaching students of different learning styles and abilities, Mrs. Balensiefer was instrumental in beginning our relationship with Project Lead the Way and secured much of the funding and materials to begin our expanding STEM education program at the junior high and high school levels. Mrs. Balensiefer was recognized for her service at Monday's board meeting, where she was celebrated by the school board, superintendent Dr. Matt Williams, and comments from the floor. Mrs. Balensiefer, you will be missed!

At tonight's board meeting the drama department was recognized. This month, the Attica Jr/Sr High School Drama Department delivered an outstanding production of The Murder Mystery at the Murder Mystery by Brian Taylor, showcasing the talent, discipline, and creativity of our students. Over 19 students participated both onstage and behind the scenes, contributing to acting, set design, costumes, lighting, sound, and stage management. Our tech crew was led by Mrs Cait Krueger Conway. Feedback from families, staff, and community members highlighted the creativity and problem solving skills of the cast and crew. A few of our members even went way outside of their comfort zones to present an excellent performance. In addition to the extra curricular hours that the cast and crew put in each day, we have a Theatre Production class whose students work daily on set construction, costume and prop design, sound, lights, marketing, and organization. All of the students gain experience in collaboration, time management, problem-solving, and communication skills. We are so proud of all of these students for their hard work and dedication. Thank you to the school board, administration, families, and community partners for their continued support that helps make this program possible. Sincerest Thanks, Mrs. Jill DeAnda

The Attica DECA chapter has set a goal of $75 for the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) Organization from December 1-12. The pinups are $1 and can be purchased through any active member of DECA.

What's Next: transforming uncertainty into action. Helping people live stronger. Investing in what’s possible—and making it a reality.

During this holiday season, why not support MDA/DECA.
