Community Medical Center will be offering the Pfizer Covid Vaccine to students who are 16 years of age or older at the sports physical clinic on May 19th at the High School. There are forms available at the High School office for parental consent. Please have those filled out prior to coming. If you are planning on your child getting vaccinated at the sports physical clinic please sign up here so we have enough vaccine available. This is different from the previous survey you filled out. If you have made an appointment with Jina at CMC and are NOT getting the Covid vaccine at the sports physical clinic at the HS; you do not need to do anything.

Congratulations to senior Stephen Acton, son of Tom and Lacey Acton, who signed a letter of intent to play baseball and bowl at Peru State College next year. Stephen has been a three-sport athlete at Falls City high school. He has shown leadership and contributed to every team. I know his teammates will be excited to watch Stephen as he competes in the blue and white for the Bobcats. During his senior season Stephen lead the team in batting average, hits, and on-base plus slugging, was 2nd in runs batted in, 3rd in stolen bases, and hit the team’s lone home run while handling the catching duties. As a bowler Stephen carried a 187-average, rolled a 286-high game, and a 702-series. We wish Stephen the best of luck at the next level!
