ILMEA District and All-State Musicians
Congratulations to these THS Students for making ILMEA district band and/or choir. On November 20th these students represented Teutopolis by going to Eastern Illinois University for District five. Jackson Probst-trumpet, Allie Drees-clarinet, and Isaac Vahling-tuba participated in the district band. Bailey Niccum-alto, and Leo Niemerg-tenor, participated in the district choir.
In addition, three students will represent Teutopolis High School this month in Peoria at All-State. Bailey Niccum was announced as the National Anthem female vocalist winner and made the Honors Choir. Jackson Probst made the All-State band and Isaac Vahling made the Honors band sitting 7th in the state. These students will travel to Peoria for three days and perform at the Peoria Civic Center on Saturday, January 29th. Organizers say this is the highest high school band accomplishment, and is the equivalent of any athlete or sports team reaching State.
There will be a blood drive for the public, sponsored by the THS student council, at the Teutopolis Banquet Hall on Tuesday, January 4, from 12:00 to 6:00 PM.
Please visit RedCrossBood.org and enter TeutopolisCommunity to schedule an appointment.

The students decorated the THS hallways with a theme of "Dancing in the Sky" to celebrate Homecoming 2021 this week. Each day includes a different dress-up theme, and on Friday, we'll prepare for the big game with a schoolwide assembly, featuring our athletes and homecoming court.
The following is a correction to the 2021 Afterglow: There was a caption that read "Molly tied for valedictorian by having the same GPA as Carley, but allowed Carley to give the valedictorian speech." That statement is not correct. Based on their GPAs, Carley Habing was the Class of 2021 Valedictorian and Molly Niemerg was the Class of 2021 Salutatorian. Congratulations to both on their achievements!
Wiring students recently finished wiring three-way and four-way switches. Nice job!
