Read on next page for full track results of the state meet. At the Regional meet held at Chisholm on April 28, Christina Meyer was the big winner, winning the 100 and 200 meter dashes (over the defending state champion!) and finishing second in the 400 meter while setting a school record in it. The girls’ 3200 meter relay finished third and also qualified for State. They are Karlee Bittle, Billie Jo Gabriel, Megan Courtney, and Jessey Martin. Katie Davis took third in the discus (going to State) and fifth in the shot put. Jadrien Stubblefield qualified for State in the high jump and long jump, taking second and third in Regionals. Other point makers for KHS were Jessey Martin and Karlee Bittle with 4th and 5th place in the 1600 and Karlee also set a new school record (breaking her own) in the pole vault with a vault of 7’6” good for a fifth place finish. The banquet finished up with the senior athletes receiving their monogrammed blankets from the Booster Club. The seniors honored were Morgan Stevens, Melissa Wallace, Mike Austin, Tanner Sweetwood, Tanner Rogers, Christina Meyer, and Aaron Butler. Jr high & elementary track by Coach McCoyBoth groups went to quite a few meets. We worked hard throughout the season and saw a lot of improvement. We brought home a lot of medals and the future looks very bright for KHS Track and Field!High school track newsby Christina MeyerAnother track season has come and gone…and it has left another trail of success! The High School had a total of seven track members who qualified for the state championships on May 3rd and 4th. At Regionals on April 28, senior Christina Meyer placed 1st in the 100 and 200 meter dash and 2nd in the 400; junior Karlee Bittle, sophomores Jessey Martin and Megan Courtney, and freshman Billie Jo Gabriel placed 3rd in the mile relay; Karlee also placed 5th in pole vault; sophomore J.J. Stubblefield placed 2nd in the high jump and 3rd in the long jump; and sophomore Katie Davis placed 3rd in discus. The results at State were not what we wanted. Everyone felt they could have performed better but the main thing is that we made it that far. Taking into consideration the not-so-pleasant weather conditions that Friday and Saturday, the KH qualifiers performed their best. Christina Meyer placed 6th in both the 100 and 400, and everyone else missed placing by only inches and seconds. Otherwise, a very successful track season for the high school team. Christina Meyer was invited to run on a 400 meter relay team at the Meet of Champions this Tuesday, May 14. The team was compiled by DCLA coach Chad Hutchinson, choosing four of the top class A girl sprinters. They competed against the top teams from 2A to 6A. She also has officially signed to continue her track career at her college this next year. Last Thursday, May 9, she signed a “letter of intent” to be a part of the track team of Southwestern College in Winfield, Ks. Junior high teams compete at OJABA StateThree KHS teams traveled to Norman, OK, on consecutive Saturdays in April to compete in the Oklahoma Junior Academic Bowl Association’s State Tournaments.

The 7th/8th team went the next week in a tournament with 20 teams and had two hard losses to Barnsdall and Cimarron. Peggs again won this level. Last weekend, the 8th/9th team beat Taloga, lost to Leedey, beat Shattuck and Seiling and then lost a close rematch with Leedey to finish third.

This was announced at the banquet Saturday night. Roger Gossen has been Ricki’s coach for six years.

Band RocksFFA Newsby Brooklan LightThis year our FFA chapter “grew” by participating in many events and contests. We had success in everything from public speaking to livestock showing and animal science quiz bowl teams. This year Lakan Light was our only public speaker, she participated at many competitions and placed 2nd in AG policy at PI and went to get 4th at districts. We also did very well in livestock showing and had many make the big ring at OYE! On top of everything else there was preparation for one of the most important events of the year, the KHS FFA Banquet! As FFA members there were reservations to be counted, decorations to be hung, and most importantly, officer interviews. We had 7 people try out and everyone got an office. After all the preparation was done, it was time for the actual banquet to begin. The food was great and the excitement was even better as you waited to see if your name would be called for the office that you wanted. After the new officers were announced, here is our new team of family members: Lakan Light- President, Elizabeth Elliot- Vice president, Carlee Salisbury- Secretary, John Schrader- Treasurer, Brooklan Light- Reporter, Jacob Pekrul- Sentinel, and Hayden Bonine- Chaplain. Next year’s goal for our officer team is to “grow like that”.Elementary newsby Principal Brad Hawkins The 3rd-5th grades have completed state testing. 3rd and 4th grade both had 100% attendance, and 5th grade had 100% attendance except for one testing day.

He appreciates all the support the community has shown towards the Kremlin-Hillsdale FFA program while he was here and wishes all the students at Kremlin-Hillsdale continued success in all they do. A Brief Account of my Journeyby Charlotte Lieser My high school counselor told my mother, “If all else fails, I guess Charlotte could teach.” So, of course, I had no intention of teaching. I set off for college on a government grant and the work-study program. My work assignment was in the College of Education working for two professors who were contributing authors for Scott Foresman Publishers (Reading & Math). Now you know where this story is going. For me, teaching has been a calling. And it has been an amazing journey! Learning is so much fun. Dreaming up ways to present a lesson has been exciting. Working to bring out the best in students has been rewarding. As a young teacher, I vowed to bow out when I was at the top of “my game”. That time has come to retire from a full time teaching position. I have been blessed with wonderful friends and opportunities rich in experience and professional growth as I have taught in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. What a thrill it has been to spend my last seven years here at KHS! My journey has not ended and I’m looking forward to the possibilities that will come. Stay tuned….Words of Wisdom from Some of my Favorite Booksby Charlotte Lieser We can learn so many good lessons from great literature. Will life always be easy? Hatchet by Gary Paulsen: Brian Robeson, stranded in the Canadian wilderness, lays everything he owns out before him and remembers the words of his teacher, Mr. Perpitch- “The most valuable possession you have is yourself.” Will you always be treated fairly or equally? Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry by Mildred D. Taylor: Cassie Logan, pushed to the ground by Miz Lillian Jean, knew that life in 1933 Mississippi was not fair. Papa gave Cassie this advice- “You don’t get to choose your parents, or the color of your skin, or whether you grow up rich or poor, but you can choose what you make of yourself.”Bronc Calendar 2012-2013by Lindsey StaleyMay 12Senior Baccalaureate Service at Kremlin Methodist Church, 7:00 pmMay 13Feed the Hungry Food DriveMay 13Eighth Grade Promotion (sponsored by parents), Commons Area, 6:30 pmMay 15Semester Exams [HS – Red Block]May 16Semester Exams [HS – White Block]May 17Elementary Awards Assembly, 8:30 amMay 17Junior High and High School Awards Assembly, 9:45 amMay 17Busses run at 11:00 amMay 17Senior Commencement, 7:00 pm, GymnasiumMay 22-24Grant County Football Camp at DCLAMay 27Memorial DayMay 28 – 31Drivers Education: Classroom Instruction, 8:00 am – 4:00 pmJune 3 – 30Drivers Education: Driving Instruction (arranged)Chess Tournament The twenty-seventh annual KHS Chess Tournament had nine participants this year.

Counselor newsby Jenny SmithsonWell, it is the fun time of the year for all school counselors. Testing started in April and will finally wind down May 10th. Online testing was a bit of a challenge this year as many of you probably saw on TV or the internet. Most Oklahoma schools were impacted by computer issues. CTB, the testing company for Oklahoma, had issues with their servers. This caused many schools to invalidate testing sessions that were interrupted. Kremlin-Hillsdale was very fortunate to have completed all testing sessions in spite of the interruptions. No tests had to be invalidated.Speaking of testing—results for testing should arrive in late July or August. Student reports will be given out to 7-12 grade students when schedules are released during enrollment in August. If you have a student who took the 8th grade reading test, please hang on to the score report. Students must pass this test in order to receive their learner’s permit/driver’s license. I recommend starting a test file for your children in Kindergarten. All state and standardized test reports can be kept in one folder. It is becoming more important to have these tests and to keep track of how many your student passes. It is now a part of the graduation requirements in the State of Oklahoma. This file can come in handy if you move to another state as well. Most states have reciprocity—if you take a test in one state, it usually counts for testing requirements in other states.Pre-enrollment has been completed by high school students. Next year’s 7th and 8th grade students will be receiving their pre-enrollment information the last week of school. So please be thinking about the courses you want to take for next year.Graduation is right around the corner. Congratulations to all of the Kremlin-Hillsdale Seniors! I have so enjoyed getting to help all of you with your planning for the future. I wish all of you the best of luck in your next journey. Work hard, never give up on your dreams, and enjoy what life has to offer you!I can’t believe this year is almost coming to an end. I have loved my first year at Kremlin-Hillsdale. The faculty has been very gracious. And I have to say the students of Kremlin-Hillsdale have been very impressive. I have never had so many students open doors for me in all my life. You are a very well behaved and disciplined student body. Your parents have done a great job with you. Thanks so much for making my transition to Kremlin so enjoyable!!Kremlin-Hillsdale Academic Enrichment Foundationby Leland StreckThe Kremlin-Hillsdale Academic Enrichment Foundation was busy again working hard at providing funds for the pursuit of academic excellence in our school. In 2012-13, twelve grants totaling just over $11,200 were awarded for items including new dictionaries, library books, maps, computer programs, I-pads, microscopes and much more. How does this happen? Through countless generous donors and supporters who attend fund-raisers, donate funds, and give of their time.Our biggest event is our annual Ice Cream Social and Auction. This is held each school year on the first Saturday following school’s start in August. There are numerous items available such as, quilts, woodworking projects, picnic tables, weekend getaways…you get the idea—it’s worth showing up for, so mark August 17th now. Donors can also give to the “In Memory/In Honor” fund where a person can recognize a family member/friend who has passed away or just needs to be recognized. Naturally, unsolicited donations are always accepted and greatly appreciated.Each year, funds that are raised are split—half going into an ever-growing endowment that will provide assistance for years to come and the other share directly made available for the upcoming school year as grant funds.If you’d like to learn more, look for us under the Community Services link on the school website, like us on Facebook, or contact one of the Foundation Board members. We’d love to share with you all that gets done through this team of people…and thank YOU for being a part of this team!KHS Teachers say, “Thank You, KHAEF!”CLASS NEWSSenior newsby Lindsey Staley Well we are almost to the day that will allow us to begin the rest of our lives, Graduation. We had our Baccalaureate this past Sunday and it went very well. Rodney Wardwell spoke for us and Mr. Gossen sang us a great song that he wrote. It’s hard to believe that we have been in school for 13 years and now it’s coming to an end. I think I can speak for all us when I say that even though we have been ready for this day for a long time we’re going to miss it at least a little bit. I’m very glad that I was able to be a part of this class. Let’s make the best memories we can for this last week of our high school career. The rest of the week we will be taking our final semester tests and preparing for graduation on Friday. Junior newsby Karlee BittleThe Junior-Senior Prom was a success this year. Prom was held at Sugar Rush in Oakwood Mall on Saturday, April 13, 2013. We spent the day before prom (a “snow day”) decorating for an “Under the Sea” theme with our class sponsors Mrs. Edington and Ms. Turney. When Saturday night came along, we danced the night away. After-Prom was put on by the Junior & Senior parents at Oakwood Bowl. We spent the rest of the night bowling, playing Twister, and playing on the Wii’s. Thanks to everyone that made After-Prom possible.We had a great year! We’re looking forward to being seniors. Congratulations to the 2013 Seniors!

Here is a list of the members inducted over the years since 1985. 1985Lee Ann CastorGrant HukleTanya JohnsonDelena LangJoyce LeakeColleen RatzlaffLori RogersGary SiebertScott TurnerMonta UrbanRandy WatkinsRandy Wright1986Kim BittleDon BrownRon BrownMelanie DustinLaura GrayChris HonigsbergDale MetzingerTammy MinnickCindy RatzlaffLesa RootShirley Russell1987Brad ChelfMatt CrawfordEric DabneyPaige GuthrieShannon HoldenTrilby LongMaria MetzingerRobert WatkinsJeff Haskins1988Robin BaileyKurt ClarkJohn DoshSuzanne GrayCliff GriderAngela HonigsbergChris SchultzDana Steele1989Dusty BittleLori HoeltzelLance LanceScott MessengerDoug RatzlaffBobby RussellCheri SolorioSandi Watkins1990Shannon BittleKristina GrayMonty HayesShellina MairKennette Ronck1991Janet HillJodi MendenhallShannon MessengerHeather MeyersAaron OsborneYumiko Shimizu (foreign exchange student from Japan)Robert SmithBrooke WatkinsMathew Wedel1992Michelle DabneyJulie HaskinsJennifer HillNichole MaddoxStephanie MessengerJohn RonckTawnia Rowland1993Mandy EvansRosie EvansRobbie GraySara MendenhallMatt ParsleyTara PorterBrad Schultz1994Jason FosterMonica GossenTina MercerRachel OverstreetAmy RoadsJohn RussellTodd WedelHolli Youngblood1995Lena HarrisJanna HenryJamie KuceraCollin MasseyTara McLainRichard OverstreetDavian PorterJamie RidgwayDaniel VothMichelle Wells1996Ashley BowenAlyssa GossenJoey HladikChristie MendenhallJessie Mitchell1997Kristen CampbellKale DittmeyerEly RoadsStacy SteeleKyle WagnerJonathan Walcher1998Katie BrainardRoyce LloydJason MilesCheryl OttAmanda PurdyJacob RegierJon SchultzRachel WuerfleinKelli Youngblood1999Holly BlevinsJohn EnglishGreg HladikMatt ToewsSarah WoffordEva WoleverLauren Wolever2000Casey CampbellDrew GossenKate ShakleeBrandon VerSchuerJoe VothAdrian WagnerJustin WamplerRyan WedelBrandi Wilson2001Jessica BowenJacie BrainardDesi DemetroKelly DittmeyerTara FoxChelsea LloydJeremy MilesMatt MitchellJohnny StreckZach WardHeidi WuerfleinKerri YoungbloodBeate Bernerth(foreign exchange student from Germany)2002Dusti BullerJennifer BullerBetsy JohnsonHan “Bo” MorrisRandi RiddleSarah Kathryn SchmidtHilary Stengle2003Brittany BairdTara LloydJames ProvineTheresa ShakleePat TooneHans Wuerflein2004Katie CulverLyndsie DavisBobbi LakinAllison MilesLaura NewbyBethany SchmidtJames “Pete” Streck2005Dusty BlevinsCaleb Toews2006Walker BrainardBethany DuhonMax FosmireRyan JohnsonJordan RiddleShanleigh ShawMatt StreckLydia Wuerflein2007Danielle CrouseAustin JonesTomi LakinCarley MillerMatt RegierTrever RogersBrett SissomJosh Toews2008Shannen DavisLola Melanie DeWittCordell LloydJake StreckRicky StreckApril Williams2009Bailey CraigLibby FosmireMegan Müller(foreign exchange student from Germany)Ty SchoenhalsTim SteinDanielle Stoneberg2010Jessica CambronTiffany Clement(foreign exchange student from France)Melanie EgelstonFaten El Khechen(foreign exchange student from Lebanon)Devan HarrisAudrey McBrideC.J.

The meals are packaged by volunteers and delivered to starving families. Each package contains 6 servings and each bag can be prepared in less than 20 minutes by adding it to boiling water. The packages are filled with a rice and soy casserole fortified with 21 essential vitamins and minerals, 6 dehydrated vegetables, and chicken flavoring.This past Monday, the students at Kremlin-Hillsdale got the chance to partner with the Kids Against Hunger in Northwest Oklahoma based in Cherokee. They brought a mobile unit so the students could help fulfill the mission, Kids Against Hunger. Jobs included putting the ingredients in the bag, making sure it weighed the right amount, sealing the bags, and putting them in boxes. In all, Kremlin-Hillsdale students packaged 21,188 meals. Thanks to everyone who participated.Pittsburg Math Relaysby Abby CourtneyThe Pittsburg Math Relays this year were on April 16th. The seniors who went this year were Ricki Schroeder, Sam Stoneberg, and Abby Courtney. The juniors were Ryan Voth and Hannah Wuerflein; the sophomores who participated were Megan Courtney, Cassidy Albert, and James Olmstead. Paula Olmstead joined us for the trip also. We left school on April 15th and stayed at a hotel in Independence, Kansas, overnight. We played games in the lobby, and then went to our rooms to rest for the next morning. We drove to Pittsburg, KS. Our tests ran from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Everyone tested in three individual tests and one four-member team test. Congratulations to Cassidy, who placed first in 10th grade Geometry!! She also placed 7th in Algebraic Simplifications and 9th in Computational Math. Sam placed 6th in Logic and Set Theory. The Geometry team (Cassidy, James, Hannah, and Ryan) placed fourth. After testing, we went back to Independence to play at the park and zoo, which is a tradition; and on the way home, we honored another custom: eating dinner at Montana Mike’s, a steak house in Bartlesville.Coach Kasey McCoyCoach McCoy has been at KHS for eight years. He is leaving to take a position as Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade principal at Agra Public School. He, his wife Maddie, and their children Channing and Lincoln, will be moving from Hillsdale to Agra in July. He says, “I have enjoyed my time at Kremlin-Hilldale and know there will continue to be a lot of success here. I am excited about what the future holds for me and my family. Thanks for all the support people in this community have given me over the years.” We wish Mr. McCoy much success in his new role as administrator. ................
