Michigan School Meals Program @ New Buffalo Area Schools 2023-2024

As New Buffalo and River Valley School districts continue to combat declining enrollment along with fielding sports teams, the Board of Education of both school districts voted unanimously on Monday, September 25th to combine all high school sports teams over the next four years. Serious conversations around this topic started over the spring of 2023. There were Town Hall meetings in which community members could voice their opinions about merging. The Cooperative Program Oversight Committee (CPOC) was formed, consisting of both athletic directors, staff members and coaches. The committee was responsible for answering MHSAA questions of the cooperative agreement in review. The answers were submitted to the executive team which was composed of the Board of Education members from both districts, both superintendents, both athletic directors, and teacher/coaches from both districts. The CPOC held discussions around but not limited to transportation, practice schedules, game schedules, uniforms, financials, lead schools, concession stands, coaches, how to evaluate coaches, a common handbook, a common eligibility standards, supervision of sports, insurance, athletic trainers, and athletic directors roles and responsibilities. An outcome of the CPOC committee work suggested the following high school sports co-oping over the next four years. 2023-2024 Softball 2024-2025 Girls Basketball Golf 2025-2026 Volleyball Boys/Girls Track Baseball 2026-2027 Boys Basketball/Cheer Boys/Girls Cross Country Tennis Soccer In the future, with the help of both communities, we will be asking for input on the name of the combined high school sports team along with the mascot. As of right now, the Red Arrow Raiders will be the name of the combined teams. The work has just begun! We are excited and extremely optimistic about what the future holds with the combination of high school sports between New Buffalo and River Valley.

Congratulations to Dr. Lindley for another successful tour at NBAS! Mr. Eberly's class designed, engineered, and produced this skateboard using the STEAM equipment. Even the trucks were 3D printed by students! Thank you Dr. Lindley for all of your hard work this past school year.

Thank you to Oinks Ice Cream and Yogurt Shop/Schimanski Family for providing ice cream to our faculty and staff yesterday.

We appreciate your kindness and generosity.

The color fun run 5k was so much fun!! After running a 5k in the woods, they ended the run by running through a finish line of powder paint, then sprayed each other with silly string and more powder paint! Here are some incredible photos and videos! I hope they all had a fantastic time! With thanks to Ms. Churchill, Mr. Nate Jones, Mr. McGinn, 10 high schoolers, Mr. Rob Hauch for making his own version of a powder paint shooter, my own BASE staff and the parents and families that ran with the students!

81 parents joined us at the Elementary this morning for Muffin Day!
