Eastern archers were celebrated this weekend along with other members from the AAC league. They were invited to Nelsonville to participate in a fun tournament where they had the opportunity to take aim at a new kind of range. One where dinosaurs and even a lion became targets. After they shot we went to celebrate the top 12 in each category! Elementary Sophia Shaw - finished 9th with an average score of 259.4 Emma Myers - finished 10th with an average score of 259.2 Braelynn Sims - finished 11th with an average score of 257.6 Middle School Allison Putnam - finished 12th with an average score of 274 Joshua Jones - finished 2nd with an average score of 287.4 Clay Buckley - finished 10th with an average score of 278.4 Emmett Jordan - finished 11th with an average score of 277.8 High School Wesley Milhoan - finished 9th with an average score of 279.4 Our middle school also took 3rd place this year! Please help us congratulate these archers on a great season. Also, we want to wish everyone good luck at Nationals this week. Safe travels to all competing and always remember aim small miss small!

The purpose of collecting this information is to improve services for students with disabilities across Ohio. If you are eligible to participate and you enroll in the study, you will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card. Your chance of winning a gift card is approximately 2.0%. Use the QR (Quick Response) code (see below) to find out more about the survey and if you are eligible.
