Matt Schaidle wins SAR scholarship

Eighteen Central Illinois high school students were recognized during the 11th annual scholarship awards banquet hosted by the Gen. Joseph Bartholomew Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. The Good Citizenship and Scholarship Banquet was Thursday at Bloomington Country Club.  The 2010 scholarship winner of $1,000 is Matthew Schaidle, Eureka High School, who will attend the U.S. Naval Academy, to study aerospace or nuclear engineering.  The program included a keynote speech by David Arnold, president of Eureka College, and presentation of pins and certificates to Good Citizenship award winners from high schools in McLean and Woodford counties.  Students were nominated by their teachers and administrators based on citizenship, character and scholarship. The SAR scholarship is from a trust fund established in 1999 by Arthur M. King through the Bartholomew chapter.

Logan is remembered by his classmates

EHS students painted their shoes yellow in honor of their classmate Logan Sauder on Wednesday.  Logan will always be remembered by the bright yellow and green shoes that he wore to school on a regular basis.

Logan Sauder visitation and funeral arrangements

Thursday night is the visitation in Roanoke from 3-7 pm at the funeral home.  Friday is the funeral service at Eureka Bible Church at 10:00 am.  CUSD #140 will be offering a bus service from the high school for students and teachers on Friday.  Everyone will board the bus after first hour and return to school directly after the service. Students will need to have their parents call in by the end of the school day on Thursday to let the attendance office know who will be gone either all day on Friday or miss just the couple of classes.  The funeral home has requested an approx. number of students and staff that will be attending so they can reserve space.  They would also like us to transport as many people as possible from the high school to reduce the amount of cars needing a place to park.  Please keep the Sauder family in your prayers!
