Here’s the exciting challenge:
🔴 Community Goal: 1,000,000 poptabs
🟡 Germantown Hills School District Goal: 300,000 poptabs
But wait… there’s more! 👀 We’re going head-to-head with our cross-town rivals—Metamora Grade School, Metamora Township High School, and St. Mary’s. The school that collects the most poptabs will earn bragging rights AND a trophy! 🏆
📅 Collection runs from January 6th through May, so start saving now! Ask friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers to save their poptabs and help us make a difference. Every poptab counts and brings us closer to supporting families through the Ronald McDonald House.
✨ Extra Fun Along the Way!
To keep the excitement going, we’ll have fun checkpoints throughout the collection period. When we hit certain goals, the ENTIRE school will earn rewards like lemonade, popcorn, and other fun treats! 🍿🥤
📍 Where to donate:
Elementary School Office
Middle School Science Classrooms
Let’s show our community spirit, support a great cause, and bring home that trophy! Thank you for helping us make a big impact—one poptab at a time. 💥
Let the collecting begin! 🙌
Happy Holidays,
GHMS Student Council

I appreciate your patience while formulating a plan to replace the gameday breakfast that was scheduled to take place ahead of the girls state tournament game on Saturday! With the game being moved to tomorrow at 4:30, I'd like to offer you and your student two options.
1. We can refund the $8 for the digital ticket to your student! Tickets have not been officially purchased. My plan is to purchase these at noon tomorrow (Monday). If your student is still planning to attend the game, please understand that a digital ticket is $8 as set by IESA. If they do not have a digital ticket but still wish to attend, tickets are $10 at the door, per the IESA.
2. For those students who have turned in a permission slip and money and still wish to attend the game, we will ask that they arrive to the middle school entrance by 4 PM. This will give us time to get them checked in, get their IESA wrist band, and then get them up for the 4:30 PM tip off. I will be ordering pizza for those students! Thank you to our GHMS booster club for helping to fund this! We want to pack the student section and the JDS to support the girls basketball team!
If you have any questions about this, please contact me at krich@ghills69.com or call the middle school office tomorrow!
Thank you,

Assistant Principal/Athletic Director
Germantown Hills Community:
Due to the anticipated incoming winter weather expected to take place across the state of Illinois tomorrow, IESA has made the decision to reschedule the state tournament to Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week. Germantown Hills will play at 4:30 against Staunton! Please show out for these girls!!!
The Gameday breakfast that was previously scheduled for tomorrow will no longer take place. It is my intention to come up with a plan for either a pre or post game offering for our students on Monday, but will communicate this information to you when I have that sorted out. The $8 was to be used to purchase your student's ticket and can still be used as such. If your child no longer wishes to attend the game on Monday, please let me know and we will refund you your money! Unless you tell me otherwise, your student's ticket will be purchased by GHMS, and we will have it ready for them on Monday evening. Some sort of food option will still be offered to those student's on Monday evening, but I will communicate out what that is no later than tomorrow afternoon!
Please see the following information from IESA related to these changes:
With the projected weather forecast in Central Illinois calling for 5-8 inches of snow, we are canceling all 8th grade girls state tournament for Saturday, December 13. Below is the new schedule for each tournament.
