Mt. Pulaski CUSD Community: This is a critical notification to bring our school community up to speed regarding school safety issues in Macon County. There were reports of social media pictures on Snapchat involving threats to schools in Macon County. The Decatur Police Department has made two arrests related to the incident, per their press release below. The ages of the students involved were 11 and 14 years of age! The police department acted immediately due to the fast reporting of the incident. I strongly recommend that you and your students ALWAYS report suspicious activity of any kind, even online activity. We use the phrase "if you see something, say something", as safety is always at the forefront of our thoughts. Again, we have an everyday presence in our school between our Mount Pulaski Police Department and the Logan County Police Department to contiuously improve the quality of our relationships between students and staff. This is due to our commitment and philosophy of safety, which is always our number one priority! Thank you for your attention to detail and commitment to Mount Pulaski Schools. It's always a better day on the Hilltop! Respectfully, Jason Spang, Superintendent of Schools

The Topper Golfers were back in action today at North Greens GC versus Tremont. Tremont came away with a 176-190 victory led by medalist Griffin Meeker’s one over par 37. Aaron Kuznik continues to shoot well for the Toppers carding a 40 for his best 9-hole round this season and a 2nd place finish. Aaron had one birdie on the day and several other opportunities that narrowly missed. Needing a par on the 9th hole to break into the 30’s for the first time this season, a little too much adrenaline on his approach took him just off the back of the green with a difficult short downhill chip. Though he wanted the 39, his score of 40 was certainly impressive and worthy of applause. Great round, Aaron! Carter Clark’s solid round or 46 was the 2nd best score for the Hilltoppers and 4th place overall for the match. Carter was able to string together three pars and two bogeys over a 5-hole stretch, but unfortunately struggled over the last three holes. Scoring in the low 40’s or upper 30’s is well within his reach as he continues to improve with each match. Keep it up, Carter! Franklin Wade was the third Topper to shoot in the 40’s with a score of 49. Franklin started with pars on the first two holes but then ran into trouble with his long and midrange clubs. Extremely proud of the grit and determination that Franklin showed as he fought and battled the rest of the way, and used his short game down the stretch to stay in the 40’s. Great job, Franklin! Kai Selinger rounded out the team scoring with a 55, his best 9-hole round of the season. Kai continues to improve daily gaining consistency with his woods and irons, and gaining confidence with his putting. Kai’s positive attitude, self-motivation, and willingness to try new things has certainly made him the most improved player this year! Deegan Tschantz shot another solid round in the 50’s highlighted by an amazing bogey on the par 3 8th-hole. After unfortunately hitting a ball into the water on the tee shot, Deegan stuck his shot from the drop zone tight to the pin and sank the putt. His reaction, in classic Deegan fashion was, “I finally made a putt”. Gotta love Deegan! Tyler Lowe played in the 6 position for the Toppers today and shot 62. Tyler also continues to improve as he had five solid holes today. Good job, Tyler. As he continues to focus on his short game, Tyler should break into the 50’s very soon. Next week the Toppers will play in the 18-hole Tomahawk Conference Tournament at Pekin Sunset Hills GC on Monday, and then will be back home at North Greens GC at 3:30 on Wednesday. Great job guys, keep up the good work!

Topper Golfers Record New Season Best Team Total! The Topper golfers recorded a season best team score of 189 at the Lincoln Elk’s GC today with three players shooting in the 40’s. Aaron Kuznik led the Hilltoppers with a 44 for his second straight round under 45. Franklin Wade and Carter Clark narrowly missed this mark as both recorded solid rounds of 46. Clay Leanard’s 53 completed the Toppers team scoring helping them break into the 180’s for the first time this season. Well done! Deegan Tschantz continues to improve as he shot his best round of the year with a 55. First year team members Kai Selinger and Tyler Lowe shot 57 and 60 and also continue to improve with each match. Coach Charron blames Coach Bowers for the players hitting into the bunkers multiple times today as we practiced hitting out of the sand yesterday. The Toppers will return to action next Wednesday with a 4:00 home match at North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta. Keep up the good work, Toppers!

MPCUSD 23 School Community, Please view this letter regarding a recent school crisis in the national news and the safety measures we take locally to prioritize school safety! Respectfully, Jason Spang MPCUSD 23 Superintendent of Schools

It was a great day for the Topper golfers as they tied for 1st place with a team score of 195 at Eagle Creek GC in Shelbyville. Aaron Kuznik led the Hilltoppers with a score of 44 finishing 2nd overall and just two shots behind the medalist. Franklin Wade also finished in the 40’s with a score of 48 for 5th place on the narrow tree-lined course. Rounding out the team score and also finishing in the top 10 were Carter Clark 50/7th and Clay Leonard 53/10th. Deegan Tschantz, Kai Selinger, and Tyler Lowe also represented the Toppers in the match. Great job guys!! The team will be back in action Thursday with a newly scheduled 4:00 match at the Lincoln Elk’s. Good luck, Topper golfers!
