A series of eight social media courses will be offered this semester through USI’s Department of Continuing Education.

The noncredit courses will cover Wordpress, Prezi, HootSuite, iPhones and iPads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, production tools, and Tumblr. Two workshops, “Build and Brand your Business Using Social Media” and “Social Media Business Policies and Implementation,” will also be offered.

The St. Joe 8th grade Tug of War team was crowned the champions at the Westside Nut Club Fall Festival Tuesday night and that means one teacher is getting a serious buzz cut.

First, St. Philip upset the long standing champions Helfrich Park.  Then came the championship round where St. Joe and St. Philip had a tug off and St. Joe came out victorious.  Now it is time for all bets to be called in.

Better late than never.  Some 55 years after their letters arrived in damaged condition, members of the 1957 Reitz High School band will get replacements.

The Reitz High School Class of 1957 will be holding their 55th class reunion on Friday, September 28, and Saturday, September 29. Several members will be attending the Reitz/North football game on Friday.  Nine of those members were in the band at Reitz.
