CONGRATULATIONS to Junior Rylee McCreary and Senior Dalton Shock for being named the All-Heart Athletes of the Month for November. Both Rylee and Dalton were nominated and voted on by their peers and community for the many great characteristics they display on and off the field of play. These two give everything they have to their team and their school and exemplify all of the attributes that make them the All-Heart Athletes of the Month and an important part of Ram Nation. Here is a summary of what people had to say about Rylee and Dalton: Rylee shows great thoughtfulness, not just on the basketball court and soccer field, but in her everyday life. She is such a kind person to be around, and it’s just who she is! Whatever she’s doing, whether it’s in athletics, schoolwork, or band, she’s always giving everything she has into her activities. She exemplifies what it truly means to be an All-Heart athlete: Passion that comes from her heart; unforced enthusiasm in all she does. Rylee is a great selection for this award because she sets a great example for what Upper Sandusky is proud to represent: A student who relentlessly offers ALL she has ALL the time, and still encourages others while doing so! Dalton has exemplified unending hard work. He has patiently waited for bowling to make its debut at Upper Sandusky. Finally, for his senior year, he was fortunate enough to be able to showcase his bowling skills and everything he’s been working towards. Dalton is a positive role model to be around, and when things don’t go his way, he never allows it to dwell into the rest of his game. Even while being the Ram’s top bowler, Dalton is still improving to become even better for his team. He is a great senior leader for the bowlers, and he brings excitement to the team as well. The Rams are lucky to have Dalton on their first ever bowling team! Rylee and Dalton are also great students in the classroom. Both students have maintained great academic performances, proving their hard work isn’t just evident in their athletics. USHS staff has noticed this, nominating them because of their positive presence in the classroom. Congratulations to Rylee and Dalton for being selected by the community as November All-Heart Athletes of the Month! Thank you two for representing USHS in a positive manner, and doing it with all of your heart! We appreciate your boldness to show HEART in all that you do! RAM PRIDE!

I just wanted to update the community regarding the bomb threat that we received this morning. After a thorough investigation by the Upper Sandusky Police Department in conjunction with the Allen County bomb squad it has been determined that the threat was a hoax. All buildings have been checked by law-enforcement and are deemed safe. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our law-enforcement partners for their quick response and leadership regarding this incident. Safety will always be our number one priority. Thank you for your patience and support of our schools. We look forward to seeing students back tomorrow. Eric Landversicht

Mersadie showed Responsibility in helping clean up a mess she didn't make, Max showed Responsibility by staying on task, even when others did not, Carter shows Responsibility by always being prepared for class, and Aysia shows Responsibility by improving her work ethic in class. Mari showed the ability to Adapt and Grow by overcoming her own bad day to help others in her class.
