CLASS OF 2016 STUDENTS AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS:
Your senior year is right around the corner, and that means you will be
getting your senior pictures taken. I would encourage you to try to have your
pictures taken this summer so you will not have any problems making the
Monday before Thanksgiving deadline to turn in the picture you want to appear in the yearbook. If you are not able to have your pictures taken during the
summer, I suggest at least making the appointment during the summer so that
the pictures can be taken in plenty of time to meet the deadline. The yearbook
staff would also like to include a baby picture (any age) of each senior in the
yearbook, and that can be turned in along with the senior picture. Those pictures will be returned to the student at the end of the school year. If you have
any questions or concerns, please contact Brian Bratt, yearbook adviser, at
299-3384 ext. 407 or bbratt@vbschools.net.

8th Graders Experience DC
This May marked our 9th eighth grade class trip to Washington, D.C. Experiencing the Gettysburg battlefields, the memorials, Arlington National Cemetery,
and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial and Museum in person makes for the ultimate
field trip! A special part of this year’s trip was a visit with U.S. Congressman
Bob Latta, at which he was generous enough to take a number of “selfies” with
students. At the time of the year we visit Arlington, prior to Memorial Day, we
are always privileged to see active duty military personnel placing flags in front
of each of the 400,000+ graves in the cemetery. Finally, many students will remember the dinner cruise along the Potomac River, which replaced the Medieval
Times experience of past trips.
Many thanks to our parent and grandparent chaperones and staff for making
this trip such a success! We enjoyed many compliments on our students’ behavior.

Beneficial Tribute to Retiring Second Grade Teacher
The elementary students walked on the last day of school in honor of retiring
teacher, Lark McCormick and raised over $1,000 dollars for the Literacy Coalition
in support of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for Hancock County. A $1,000
donation will buy over 500 books for children birth to age five!
News from the Hancock County Health Department
It is once again time to start thinking about vaccinating your children for the
upcoming school year. Any child entering kindergarten or 7th grade will need vaccine
updates before the start of the 2015-2016 school year to be in compliance with
the Ohio Revised Code guidelines. Tdap is required for the students entering the
7th. We continue to be concerned about the resurgence of pertussis (whooping
cough) which is the reason for the Tdap requirement. Along with the Tdap vaccine,
we would encourage you to consider the meningitis and chickenpox vaccines for
any child age 11 through 18. These vaccines are available at most physician’s
offices or here at the Hancock County Health Department. The Hancock County
Health Department is now a vaccine provider from most local insurance companies
and bill insurance for services provided. If you are interested in scheduling for
vaccinations at our office please call 419-424-7869. I would strongly encourage
you to call and get these scheduled now. Please don’t wait until August as our
clinics are usually filled to capacity.

Wow! What a Softball Season
If you didn’t get a chance to watch the Van Buren softball team play this
spring, you missed a piece of history. Coming off an excellent 2014 season, in
which the Black Knights finished 15-13 and were District Runners-up, the team
was more than ready to get going this spring. The Black Knights were challenged early in BVC play as the defending BVC champion Arlington Red Devils
came to town in early April. It took extra innings, but the Black Knights came out
on top, beating Arlington 6-5. That win helped set the tone for the remainder of
the year. Shutting out 6 of the 11 league teams they faced, the Black Knights
went on to finish 11-0 in the BVC and were crowned 2015 BVC Champions. Not
interested in stopping there, the Black Knights earned the #1 seed in the District
and hosted a Sectional final game for the second straight year. After beating Holgate to win the Sectional title, the Black Knights headed to Elida for the second
year in a row to play in the District Semi-Final. They faced a familiar opponent
in Patrick Henry, the team that ousted them last year in the District Final. The
Black Knights came with their bats and were able to knock off the Patriots by a
final score of 11-1. Van Buren was headed to the District Final once again. With
experience on their side and a great group of Senior leaders, the Black Knights
beat a very good Ayersville team and brought home the first District Softball Title
in school history. The next stop was the Regional at Findlay High School to take
on Lakota. With the game being so close to home, there were MANY Van Buren
fans at the Regional Semi-Final and it was an awesome experience for the team
to play in such a great atmosphere. The game ended with a Lakota win, but the
Black Knights fought hard and should be P.R.O.U.D. of all they accomplished this
year. Finishing the season at 21-6, the Black Knights won more games than any
team in school history. Congratulations on an amazing season! Go Knights!
First Place in Extreme Dance & Cheer Competition in Florida
Van Buren students Mackenzie Wagner (class of ‘16), Tori Bookwalter (class of ‘17) and Kennedy
Jones (class of ‘23) were members of the Co-ed Senior Level 3 Platinum All-Stars competitive cheerleading squad this year and spent countless hours at Gold Medal Gym with their teammates perfecting
their tumbling and routine.
With their high flying tosses and stunts along with their precision tumbling and dance moves, the
team won their division in two of the Extreme Dance & Cheer Competitions this year - first at Kalahari
Resort in Sandusky, Ohio, and then in Lansing, Michigan. They also took home Grand Champions for
Level 3 at the competition in Lansing.
These two wins earned the team full-paid bids to a competition in Chicago in April and the International Championships in Orlando, Florida the weekend of May 9-10 causing Mackenzie to miss her
junior prom. The team rallied around her commitment and leadership to turn in outstanding performances both days placing them 1st in the Co-ed Senior Level 3 Division at the two-day International
competition in Orlando.
Mackenzie has been a Van Buren cheerleader since 3rd grade and on the Platinum All-Stars competitive team for 11 years. Tori began cheering for Van Buren in elementary school then re-joined her
freshman year in high school. She has been a member of the competitive squad for 5 years. Kennedy
started gymnastics when she was 3 and has been a Platinum All-Star for the past 3 years.
Congratulations to these Lady Knights and all their teammates!

VB Track Carries on the Tradition of Making it to State
The 2015 Track and Field season came with many highlights. At the Blanched Valley Conference
meet we had nearly everyone run or throw a personal best. We had 63 PR's in the two weeks of
BVC and Districts. Our girls finished in third place just 3 points behind runner-up Pandora Gilboa.
On the guys side, we were right in the running until the last 3 events. With 5 events left there were
4 teams within a few points. We ended up on the short end and finishing 5th. We had several girls
and one guy qualify for the regional meet in Tiffin.
• Bri Lasley ran the 100, 200, 4x100, and 4x400.
• Lauren Wise ran the 400 and 4x400.
• Kylie Sturgill qualified in the 800 and ran the 4x400.
• Carlee Schmelzer pole vaulted, ran the 4x100 and 4x400.
• Elizabeth Conner and Lexi Hassan combined with Schmelzer and Lasley in the 4x100.
• Zach Lonyo competed in discus.
For the 5th year in a row, we have had participation at the state track and field meet at Jesse
Owens Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
