Each year, the Tattler is dedicated to a faculty/staff member nominated by the yearbook team. The first book is delivered and presented to the nominee.
The 25-26 yearbook, "A Year in Retrospect", was dedicated to Mrs. Trish Schnakenberg. Students noted her compassion, dedication to her teaching, and making every student a better one.
Congrats, Mrs. Schnakenberg!
Soccer Venue Change: Tuesday Sept 1, the soccer team will play Calvary Lutheran at 179 soccer fields located on Hwy 179 in Jefferson City at 5:00 PM.
Cole Camp Volleyball: The 2026 Cole Camp volleyball team traveled to Warrensburg August 25th to take part in a Jamboree. Warsaw and Appleton City teams were also in action there.
Cole Camp faced Warrensburg first and each of 3 sets started at 10 on the scoreboard. Warrensburg took the first set 25-16. Better effort for the Bluebirds in the middle set winning 25-20.
Warrensburg had a power hitting player who had nailed several kills earlier, but the Lady Bluebird defense made a big time block mid 3rd set. Andrea Dieckman and Jolee Espey were side by side for the clean block! Warrensburg eventually took the last set 25-21.
Next the Ladybirds faced Appleton City. Coach Abby Massingill shuffled in lots of player combinations along the way. Cole Camp took three sets by scores of 25 - 16, 25-21, 25-22.
Finally Cole Camp and Warsaw were on the floor at 7:50 p.m. Still starting at 10 each on the scoreboard the Lady Wildcats just about had the Birds in a cage leading 23-20. But Cole Camp quickly regrouped to win 26-24. Close 2nd set went to Warsaw and that is where the game was ended. No third set. Just a note, none of these scores go on the season record.
So fans, the season starts for real August 27th at Warsaw at 5 p.m. Then August 31 to St Paul's Concordia. Time to check the tires and clean the windshield! Thank you to Authur Keuper for writing this article!!!
