Senior Policy for Graduation Ceremony Participation Just a reminder to Senior parents that Rib Lake High School has criteria for senior students to participate in the graduation ceremony. The following information was discussed with seniors in early September. Students must have attended school at least 93% of the school days/class periods in both first and second semester of their Senior year in order to participate in the graduation ceremony. This includes all pre-planned and parent excused absences. The Principal may waive this requirement for good and sufficient reason, such as an extended illness, family emergency, extended vacation, etc. Students must have paid all fines, fees, dues, and other financial obligations owed to the school district and made up any disciplinary time in order to participate in the graduation ceremony. Student participation in the graduation ceremony is a privilege. Any multiple-day school suspension or school related legal referral during the senior year may result in revocation of the graduation ceremony privilege.

3 Rib Lake High School Page 3 FALL SPORTS RECOGNIZED Another exciting Hawks football season has concluded and the anticipation for next season is beginning to build. Even though the 2014 record did not end up on the winning side, the young and outmanned team continued to grow both in numbers and experience. With most players playing two ways, their skills and techniques were much improved. The offense became a force and improved its production over the previous season. The defense, although susceptible to the big play, showed that they can stop anyone when all 11 players do their job correctly. All time top 15 numbers were put up by the defense in 1st downs and passing yards allowed and by senior Joe Frombach in punting and punt returns. We congratulate the Marawood Honorable Mention All Conference players: Cody Van Luven, Dalton Rohde, Drew Rohde, and Hunter Swan. Hawks players and those wishing to play for the Hawks next season should begin now by improving your strength and speed in the fitness center 3 times a week. See Coach Weiss or Coach Krommenacker to get started today! The 2014 Prentice/Rib Lake Hawks Cross Country season started with captain s practice once a week in mid-july. Most of the team made it to the workouts. Josh and Erin usually rode their bikes the five miles to town. This was the first year for the girls to run 5,000 meters (3.1miles). Prior to this they had run 4,000 meters. The first test was at Timm s Hill, the most difficult course they would encounter all season. The team finished 2nd and went on the next week to finish 2nd at Stratford. The middle of the season was made difficult with injury and illness. The end of the season showed improvement with a good effort at Conference. The team placed 5th of 19 schools at Sectionals. Katie Strobach received the most improved runner award for the season. The boys season was one of steady improvement and tight pack running. The gap the amount of time between the 1st and 5th runner was around :40 to :50 seconds. We had four different guys 1st on the team throughout the season. They saved the best for last with a 3rd place at Conference. Nick Eisner received Honorable Mention. The Hawks were 4th place in Sectionals, Nick Eisner was 21st in 18:37. Nick Eisner was awarded most improved and Donald Dums received the Spirit Award. As the team has no Seniors, next year looks very promising. Come on out next year and help us go to State with both teams!

4 POPS Club News The students have been working hard to raise money for positive recognition awards. The club earned $ in October by running a concession stand and garage sale.
