Preparing Today’s Students For Tomorrow’s Challenges
On October 1, the Limestone band program hosted its annual Limestone Marching Rockets Field Competi-tion. This event has been held every year since 2011, serving as a fundraiser for the band and bringing hun-dreds of band students and parents to our community each year. While the day started out gloomy and threatening rain, by the time the first band took the field at 5:00 PM, it had turned into a beautiful Saturday with perfect weather for all the groups to perform. This year’s competition featured eight marching bands from all around the state. The competition was divided into three classes based on band size, and bands were awarded first, second, and third place trophies as well as awards for the best winds, percussion, and color guard in each class. Class winners this year were Watseka in Class 1A, East Peoria in Class 2A, and Morton in Class 3A. Morton also won the Grand Champion award with the overall high score for the day re-gardless of class. The Marching Rockets would like to thank the numerous parents, friends of the band, and Limestone employees who volunteered their time and talents to help make this event a success for the sixth year in a row! Aside from hosting their home competition, the Limestone Marching Rockets have also attended several competitions throughout the state already this season. They opened their season with the Washington Pan-ther Marching Invitational on September 10, where they not only placed first in class 7A but also won awards for best drum majors and best percussion. On September 24, they competed at the Normal West Marching Band Invitational held at Illinois Wesleyan University. They placed first in class 2A and won awards for best winds, percussion, and color guard, and they also won the Grand Champion award for the highest overall score in the 1A and 2A classes. Most recently, the band traveled to Downer’s Grove for the Marching Mus-tang Music Bowl on October 8. The Marching Rockets won the awards for best music, visual, general effect,
percussion, and color guard and took first place in class 2A in preliminary competition. Ten bands including Limestone were then chosen to perform again that evening in a finals competition, where Limestone scored 3rd place overall. The band will continue their sea-son throughout October and into November this year with performances at the Illinois State Marching Band Championships in Normal on October 22, the Western Illinois Uni-versity Marching Band Classic in Macomb on October 29, and Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis on November 11.

Wrestling season is around the corner and the
Rocket Grapplers’ season begins November 7
and the wrestlers are ready to get to “The
Dome” and wrestle in the state wrestling tour-
nament. Senior Blake Delgadillo is ready to
make another run at the state tournament and
bring home a medal. Some other seniors ready
to make a run at the state wrestling tournament
are Noah Trollope, Jhai Turner and Payton
Callear. Juniors Hunter Jarvis, Spencer Walk-
er, Taylor Fickes and Dennis Karl all earned
varsity letters and gained valuable varsity ex-
perience last year as sophomores and are
ready to make a run at the state wrestling tour-
nament. Sophomores Dustin George, Mason
Hess, Josh McBride, Marcus Linwood and
freshman Jose Blanco-Nunez look to break into
the varsity line-up this season.
Looking Forward to Wrestling Season Precautions for Winter
With colder weather just around the corner,
car windows and lights will often be frosted,
snow-packed and icy. Consequently, students
will need to get their daily routines started 5 to
10 minutes earlier to clear them. So get pre-
pared now by equipping yourself with a sharp
scraper and good brush.
As any driver should know, roads can be
treacherous and sneaky slick with any kind of
precipitation, especially when the tempera-
tures drop.
A few reminders to get to your destination
safely:
Slow down significantly
Increase your following distance
Allow more time and increased space
to slow and/or stop
Do not use your cruise control

Credit Recovery
Credit Recovery is an option that is available for your student several times throughout the school
year. Because every class counts towards graduation in high school, Limestone Community High
School offers the Apex Program to assist your student to recover failed classes. It is important for
your student to recover these classes as quickly as possible so he/she can stay on track for gradua-
tion. The goal of Credit Recovery is to give high school students the opportunity to graduate in a
timely manner. This program has policies and procedures that allow students who have failed core
courses an opportunity to make-up non-mastered standards without repeating the entire course.
Any student failing one or more courses in grade 9-12 may visit their counselor to apply for the
Credit Recovery program. Courses are self-paced with no direct in-
struction from a teacher. A certified teacher will be in the classroom to
monitor the progress of the students and offer assistance with technol-
ogy issues. Each course (.5 credit) is $150.00. Students may only take
one course per session. The next Credit Recovery session will begin
on October 17th with additional sessions being held in February and
June. Please contact your student’s Guidance Counselor with any
questions.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has announced that it will provide the College Board’s SAT exam, including a writing component, at no cost to all public high school juniors during the 2016-17 school year. The SAT will replace the Part-nership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessment as the high school accountability exam in Illinois. The date for the SAT will be Wednesday, April 5, 2017.
The new SAT focuses on the skills and knowledge that colleges want most. It covers vocabulary and math that are widely used in college and career and it features an essay to assess students’ ability to write coherently and analytically. The College Board has teamed up with Khan Academy to provide world class, personalized, online practice tools for students for FREE. This is a great way for stu-dents to practice their skills for success on the test and beyond high school. Students can use Khan Academy at their own pace, anytime, anywhere.
For more information go to: https://www.khanacademy.org/sat or contact the LCHS Guidance Office.

Peoria County School Facility Sales Tax - Nov. 8
Limestone Community High School does not, and cannot, take a position on the school
facility sales tax. To serve our taxpayers, however, we are offering the following infor-
mation purely for educational purposes and presents this information so that citizens
will cast informed votes, whether for or against the school facility sales tax. More infor-
mation about the sales tax is available on our website: www.limestone.k12.il.us.
The County School Facility Sales Tax represents the first shift away from relying on
property taxes for local school district funding in Illinois. The law went into effect in
2007 (based on a similar law in Iowa) allowing voters to approve a sales tax to fund
school facility needs.
Sales Tax Dollars CANNOT be used for:
Salaries
Benefits
Instructional Costs
Textbooks and Computers
Moveable Equipment
School Buses
Operating Costs
Sales Tax Revenues CAN be used for:
New School Facilities
Additions & Renovations
Land Acquisition
Safety and Security Improvements
Energy Efficiency
Paying Off Building Bonds
Architectural Planning/Engineering
Why is this Needed Now?
Many school districts in Peoria County are facing serious facility needs. Safety and security improvements to
buildings designed in a different era require expensive updating to support learning into the future. Sales tax
revenues can address facility needs over time while using competitive local contractors. The county sales tax for
schools addresses facility funding in a manner that shifts away from property taxes.
How Much More Would I Actually be Paying if this Passed?
$100.00 of grocery food = no increase
$50.00 of gas = 25 cents
$15,000 car/truck = no increase
$7.00 of fast food = 3.5 cents
$450.00 TV = $2.25
$40.00 of medicine = no increase
$70.00 pair of shoes = 35 cents

LCHS 2016 Homecoming: Welcome to the Jungle
Spirit dress-up days, variety show,
bonfire, parade, athletic hall of
fame, tailgating, football game, and

Several months in the making, LCHS student council can finally breathe easy after planning and hosting another successful LCHS homecoming. The festivities started with spirit dress-up days: USA-red/white/blue Monday, Tie Dye Tuesday, College Shirt Wednesday, Tacky Tourist Thursday, and Blue/White Friday.
Wednesday night was the annual variety show with a wide-range of performances. The Senior class won the variety show skit competition. Eden Conner took 1st and Tempest Ritter took 2nd Place in the filler acts. The homecoming court was an-nounced with five girls and five boys having been nominated by their re-spective class members. Homecom-ing royalty was then announced with one girl and one boy being ultimately selected from each class as well as the overall Homecoming King and Queen who are members of the sen-ior class. See picture below for the students selected for the court.

Festivities continued Friday afternoon with the annual parade, organized by Key Club. A wide variety of clubs

Published in 1925, The Great Gatsby is set in New York City and Long Island during the Prohibition era. Flappers? It’s got them. Parties? You bet. Great cars? Absolutely. The problem is author F. Scott Fitzgerald didn’t see the Jazz Age as all about hip music and sparkly clothes. He associated the entire period with ma-terialism and immorality. Our narrator, Nick Carraway (Creighton Peacock), begins the book by giving us some advice about not criticizing others. Now it’s time to meet our cast of characters: Nick’s second cousin once removed, Daisy Buchanan (Serenity Day); her aggressive husband, Tom Buchanan (Zach Johnson). Then there’s Miss Jordan Baker (Adyson Termatt), who quickly becomes a romantic interest for our narrator. Tom takes Nick to the city to show off his mistress, a woman named Myrtle Wilson (Megan Giddens) who is, of course, married. Myrtle’s husband, George (Nathan Graham), is a passive, working class man who owns an auto garage and is oblivious to his wife’s affair. Back on West Egg, Jay Gatsby (Michael Lewellyn) has been throwing great parties, where everyone can attend, celebrate, and try to figure out just how Gatsby has gotten so rich. Rounding out the cast of characters is Katie Haage as Mrs. McKee, Cameron Jackson as Mr. McKee, Nolan Browder as Meyer Wolfsheim, Katelynn Koeppel as Mrs. Michaels, and Doniven Hill-Bush as the policeman. The evening will also include several dance numbers as well as the wonderful music of the Roaring 20’s. Show Dates are November 4 & 5 at 7:00 PM in the H. Dean Briggs Auditorium at LCHS. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $5.00 and may be purchased in advance during all lunch hours beginning October 24 and at the door. Seating is General Admission. What do you say Old Sport? Come enjoy this year’s Fall Play!
“It was much nicer a long time ago when we had each other and the space about the world was warm – can’t we get it back someway – even by imagining?”
