MR. ZIMNY

Mr. Zimny is in his 7th year at SHS, but 48th year of teaching! He has also served as our assistant strength coach for the past six years. Mr. Zimny is described by students as a teacher that always has a positive attitude, takes great pride in his work, and is willing to help students. He is also described as always having a smile on his face and never in a bad mood. His fellow staff members stated that he is the ultimate team player and embodies the Golden Bear Way! Congratulations Mr. Zimny!

One of the traditions that we are reviving this year is the Bears Best. Each department will honor one student each month for embodying one of the traits from the Golden Bear Way. This month’s trait is Attitude.

Congratulations to the following students who were chosen as this month’s Bears Best!

We are delighted to share the news that out of more than 62,000 students from across the country, the following Shelbyville High School seniors are recipients of the College Board’s National Recognition Programs for their academic excellence. The National Recognition Programs grant students from underrepresented communities and populations with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications as well as connect students with universities across the country, helping them stand out during the admissions process. Each of these students have earned this recognition because of their academic achievements in school and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT or AP Exams. They have accomplished these milestones during a demanding period of their high school career. Congratulations to these students on their National recognition!

Junior/Senior Planning Calendar & Senior Checklist:

A postsecondary planning calendar was emailed to all juniors and seniors to help them through the postsecondary process on a monthly basis. This is a great resource to put on the refrigerator or in a locker! Feel free to contact your student’s counselor if you have additional questions.

College Applications:

Seniors should apply to the college of their choice online and then request their transcripts be sent electronically through their Naviance account. Once we have processed their transcript request, students will see that their transcript has been submitted in their Naviance account and in their college application portal. We encourage all seniors to complete their college applications and request their transcripts be processed prior to fall break.

Check out this website for the colleges and universities which are waiving their application fee during the month of September, College GO! Week (September 26-30), or on Why Apply Day (September 16). Students who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program or are 21st Century Scholars can see their counselor for a college application fee waiver.

The fair is a great opportunity for students and parents to speak to representatives and receive informational materials about various schools and programs. Mark your calendar!

Homecoming game.

Our Homecoming Parade will be held on Wednesday, September 14th and will begin at 6PM. The parade will start at Hendricks Elementary School and end at the SHS tennis courts. Each grade will be represented by a float decorated with that grade’s chosen Cinematic Theme.

Themes are:

● Freshmen and the Chocolate Factory;

● Sophomores staring in Teen Beach Movie;

● Juniors Flying in with Aladdin; and

● Our Seniors Are Taking a Trip to Hawkins with Stranger Things.

Floats will be displayed at the homecoming game as well. If you would like to help decorate your

grade’s float or hallway, please speak with Mrs. Tillison.

What better way to prepare for the big game than with the annual Powderpuff flag football

game?! For those who don't know, powderpuff is designed to showcase your team’s skill, speed,

ability and cunningness. Each grade will fight for the coveted top spot and a point towards this

year’s class cup. Will this year be another upset or will last year's winners, the Seniors, take the

championship again? Don't worry gentlemen, the girls won't get all the spotlight. This year we

are adding "pep squads" to our homecoming line-up. These squads will be tasked with cheering

their girls to victory. The best squad will be recognized while also earning a point towards the

class cup. The game will be held on the football field directly following the Homecoming Parade.

If you are interested in participating in this Golden Bear tradition, fill out the correct form on

Google Classroom. To participate in either event, a Powderpuff T-shirt must be purchased by clicking the link https://www.itsazshirt.com/shsppfb22/shop/home

Tickets for the dance are now on sale.

$10 for one or $15 for two.

You must purchase a ticket in Mrs. Tillison's room 406 before the dance and follow all school policies while in attendance.

Students from other schools are permitted to attend, pending approval. Permission slips can be picked up from Mrs. Tillison or from the front office. Forms must be returned to Mrs. Tillison by Friday, September 9th.
