What an amazing 2018 tiger youth football season!! Both teams put together strong seasons, improving every day which was the goal. I was lucky enough to witness young men begin to understand what it means to be a Hagerstown tiger! We are in one of the top leagues in our state and we competed and fought against some great competiton. Our improvements showed on the big stage when we took our teams to Lucas Oil Stadium and played our best football of the season!! As I finish up my time with this league I feel so greatful to have been a small part of this program. We have THE BEST board of directors a league could ask for and on top of that a wonderful coaching staff that donated their time, love and dedication to our youth. What a great feeling it is to be a Hagerstown Tiger!!! ... See MoreSee Less

It's that time of year again and the 3rd grade needs your help!

Our annual food drive to create "SLINKY THE SNAKE" will begin on Monday, November 5th.

SLINKY will begin at the library and hopefully make a big loop ALL the way around the school!

Please send in laundry detergent, paper products, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, and/or canned food items until Monday, November 19th. (They are always in need of protein sources, so canned meat items are also a great item to give.)

All donations will be given to our local trustee's office for distribution to families around the holidays.

THE CLASS THAT COLLECTS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF ITEMS WILL EARN A POPCORN PARTY! ... See MoreSee Less

Here's a reminder about when to stop for a school bus after yesterday's tragedy in Indiana.The tragic deaths of three children boarding a school bus in Rochester provides another opportunity to remind drivers of Indiana laws regarding school bus stops.

When approaching a school bus from any direction which is stopped with its flashing red lights activated and its stop arm extended, motorists are required to STOP, even on multiple lane highways.

Motorists who are on a highway that is divided by a barrier or unimproved median (i.e. a concrete or cable barrier, or a grass median) are required to stop only if they are traveling the same direction as the school bus.

If there is no unimproved median or barrier, then all lanes in all directions must stop.

Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a serious violation and one that school bus drivers are quick to report. Violation of this law is a Class “A” infraction and is punishable by a maximum fine of up to $10,000. ... See MoreSee Less
