    Erik Sietsema|Mar 27, 2024

    Spring has arrived in Big Sandy. The air is filled with the last snowfall before the weather warms up (hopefully) and the sound of music at the Big Sandy Schools.

Community members looking to warm their hearts against the chill outside could choose no better way than supporting this year's student performances. The events will include a recital on April 9th, encore concerts on Apri...

    Zoe Merrill|Mar 27, 2024

    Continuing our discussion, let's dive a little deeper into the NFHS. If you missed last week's article about the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), you may be a bit behind, but hopefully, you can gather enough information from this article to catch up, or you can go check out their website yourself and read about what they do and their history. I would like to discuss the campaigns they support and the NFHS Network in this week's article. They have eight campaigns that they talk about and hope others will get involved...

  • Thoughts with Zoe

    Zoe Merrill|Mar 27, 2024

    Easter seems early this year, and I’m not ready to celebrate it. The holiday allows me to contemplate my relationship with Jesus and what it means to be a Christian. I often fall into the trap of wanting God to take care of me, to fill my needs, and not allow hurtful or difficult things to happen to me, creating a utopia where everything is good. I found this short article and wanted to share it. I thought it was so good. “I would have pulled Joseph out. Out of that pit. Out of that prison. Out of that pain.

  • It's track season and of course there is snow

    Zoe Merrill|Mar 27, 2024

    It's snowing, and it's the beginning of the track season. When I talked to Wendy Taylor, head coach of the Big Sandy Pioneer track teams, she clapped her hands and said, "I'm ready. Bring it!" "Shersteen Andreasen is our distance coach and our javelin coach. Tucker Taylor is new to us this year and will be our jumping coach for the triple, long, and high jumps. He will also help with the sprints. And then we have Charlie Klimas from Harve, who will still be our throwing, discus, and shotput coac...
