Lady Cards take round one against Lady Raiders
Lady Cards take round one against Lady Raiders
COLUMBUS – The Lady Raiders have had much better results in the record book this season as they continue their efforts to try to become a factor in the district title race. They still have more ground to cover as they got their first look against the team that is favored to take the district championship this season: the Columbus Lady Cardinals. The match proved to be reflective of the dynamic between a team that is in the process of rebuilding and one that had just made a state semifinal appearance the year before. Columbus showed why they are currently one of the top teams in the state with a three-game sweep over the Lady Raiders. 09/13/2023 12:00 AM

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month
Do you have “the card?” I mean a library card, of course! Each September, since 1987, there has been a national library card sign-up month. It all began as a response to then Secretary of Education, William Bennett, who stated: “Let’s have a campaign … Every child should obtain a library card and use it.” Using a library card regularly enhances a child’s education and combats illiteracy. 09/13/2023 12:00 AM
