Titan Family,
Our dear friends at The Miracle League of New Castle are seeking help for their 2023 season. The Miracle League of New Castle provides children and adults facing serious physical and cognitive disabilities the opportunity to play America's greatest pastime...baseball.
The next sign up for players, buddies, and volunteers is this Thursday, May 4th, from 5-7 pm at the Baker Park diamonds.
Buddies are one of the most important parts of their league. The Miracle League uses a “buddy” system, pairing each player with an able-body peer. The result is a bond that cannot be described. Buddies go through a 1 hour training session prior to games and, if over the age of 18, must pass a background check. The buddies will be taught to respect the player, how to speak person first when it comes to a player with a disability, how to handle players with different abilities, how to protect their player while in the field and at bat, and how to let the player play as much as possible on their own.
Thank you in advance for your support of the Miracle League of New Castle!

IMPORTANT SCHOOL BUS SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
South Henry Family,
The South Henry School Corporation has recently experienced an uptick in school bus stop arm violations. In Indiana, it's illegal for drivers to pass a stopped school bus that has its red lights flashing and stop-arm extended. This applies to all roads except for motorists on a highway that is divided by a barrier, such as a concrete wall or grassy median.
This can become confusing for motorists, particularly in times of construction such as what is happening on US40. Please note that traffic cones or barrels such as seen many places on US40 do not designate a divided highway and motorists, moving in both directions, should still stop for flashing lights and stop arms. With this said, there are places on US40 where concrete barriers are in place dividing the highway. According to the Indiana State Police, these concrete barriers would designate a division and motorists traveling the opposite direction are not required to stop.
While this can be confusing, it is always best to err on the side of caution for the safety of our students.
South Henry School Corporation buses are equipped with stop arm cameras. Those who illegally pass a stopped school bus will be held accountable. Tickets have and will continue to be written, and individuals will be referred to the Henry County Prosecutor's Office. Violators could pay a fine of up to $10,000 or have their license suspended for up to 90 days for the first offense or up to a year for the second.
We thank you for your continued help and support as we strive to protect our most precious assets...our children.
Mr. Jeremy Duncan
Superintendent, South Henry School Corporation

Celebrating 28 years, the program has grown into a worldwide community of visionary and innovative leaders in education, helping other educators rethink what’s possible with iPad and Mac.
