It was a great weekend at the IESA State Chess Meet with 8 rounds spanning a total of 14 hours. All of our players earned wins, with the team finishing 30th out of 59 teams competing in the 8th grade division. Casey Williams finished with a team high of 4.5 points, followed closely by Lane Malone with 4 points. Aaden Kiper and Jasper Houzenga finished with 3 points, and 6th grader Ethan Jones finished with 2 points which is even more impressive considering he played two grades up in the 8th grade division. These boys represented the school and community proudly! #SpartanPride

Our brains are great at using past experiences to make quick decisions on the fly, but these shortcuts can also lead to bias. "Confirmation bias" is our brain's tendency to seek out information that confirms things we already think we know. Help your students learn to recognize this when they encounter news online, as a way to examine competing opinions and ideas and to avoid drawing questionable conclusions.

Family Tip Sheet: bit.ly/OlyNMFR2 Wikipedia.org is where millions of people stop first for information. Tools like it are what make the internet so valuable. But they also teach an important lesson, one you can start teaching your kids now: don’t believe everything you read.

Sharing the Investment Did you know? Approximately 35% of purchases in McLean County are made by visitors and travelers. If the One-Cent Tax is approved, revenue from these purchases will directly support our local schools—helping fund safety improvements, facility upgrades, and property tax stabilization. This means non-residents contribute to our schools, easing the financial burden on McLean County property taxpayers while ensuring our students and community benefit. Learn more about the sales tax referendum by attending our community information meeting on March 10th @ 5:00 p.m. in the Media Center at Olympia High School, visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly. #april1cent
