Happy Monday! The Interviewing People Careercast is back with the 10-minute highlights of the interview featuring Ben Etzler ('05) of the U.S. Navy and Ryan Caligiuri ('04) of the U.S. Army. In the highlights, Ben and Ryan share how going the ROTC route differs from attending a service academy, how military service can be used to pay for college tuition, how jobs in the military can relate to what a person wants to do in civilian life, and much more. Anyone interested in a career in the military will find information relevant to getting started down that path in this episode, and you can always go back to watch our full interview if you would like to learn more. To watch these highlights and other episodes, visit www.bit.ly/InterviewingPeople, and enjoy the show!

The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be at Van Buren on Monday, March 14, from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Middle and high school students can visit the bookmobile during their lunch periods, so if students have a FHCPL card, please be sure they have their cards so they can check out books. Students can also place holds on books using the FHCPL website (www.findlaylibrary.org) and pick those up on the bookmobile as long as they identify the bookmobile as the pick-up location (they still need to have their library cards with them). Students who don't have library cards can visit the library in Findlay (206 Broadway St.) to register for a card. Parents must be present with their children and have two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID). The bookmobile will also be making stops at the school from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. on March 28, April 11 & 25, and May 9 & 23.

Our Healthy Options class has been hard at work this year making delicious and healthy treats to sell to our students and staff. The newest addition to their offerings is freshly pressed juice! This week, they sold Kiwi Kick and Tropical Twist. They are excited to add an immunity boosting juice to the mix next week! #BeABlackKnight
