National Honor Society Blood Drive by Karlee Bittle A letter was received from NW Oklahoma Blood institute about our Blood Drive on Dec. 2. In part it said, “It is vital to have strong community partners, such as Kremlin-Hillsdale High School and community that see the value in dedicating time to organizing blood drives and encouraging donations. This is no ordinary community partnership. Among the 18 caring people who stepped up to help, 17 were able to donate. This means there are neighbors, coworkers and family members across Oklahoma who are alive due to blood provided through your support. On behalf of patients across our state counting on support like this we are truly grateful. Your partnership means so much.” Several KHS students who donated were first time donors but many were donating for the second time or more. NHS will host another blood drive in the spring. 2 KHS elementary academic team travelled to Medford on Dec. 4 for Oklahoma Junior Academic Bowl Association (OJABA) district tournament.

Here at Kremlin we have almost finished another great nine weeks, and I think we are all ready for Christmas break! We are doing great in sports! Our junior high girls’ basketball team has had a great season! And I hear the boys are working hard. It is almost time for our big tests and lots of studying! But after all of it, the kids who haven’t gotten detention or remediation get a great surprise. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year! The junior class is having a great year, and is eager for Christmas break. They are enjoying the basketball season with many players filling out the boys and girls teams. They have done a wonderful job representing the school and class in all their games so far. There are many people in the class that cheer on the Broncs in both cheerleading and pep club. It’s going to be a great year for the juniors. Sophomore news by Connor Snapp The sophomore class has been busy, all of us have recently taken the PSAT and ACT Plan tests. With football ending, the new basketball season starting, it has shown that the sophomores are doing great for both boys and girls. And also, many classmates are in pep club supporting the teams.

At first it was a struggle to get from class to class with a bell and lockers. I think most of us have it down. As we get further into the year, it gets better and easier. We are also getting more organized. Academic team members include Bradie Gray, Sophie Fosmire, and Magwire Lunday. They won one and lost one to finish second in the district tournament at Medford. They work harder and are getting closer to finishing first. In basketball, the girls have won 6 and lost 2 games, coming in second in the tournament at Hillsdale. the boys on the other hand came out to a rough start. But we’re getting better and won four straight after losing our first six games. All of the sixth graders cannot wait until Christmas break. We are all so excited. We’re all really nervous about our first semester tests. These will be another first for us and another enw experience for us.
