Big Walnut Local Schools

Our Big Walnut football players have been out and about around the district over the past couple of weeks, visiting our elementary schools and spending time with our youngest Eagles. 🦅

On the field, the Golden Eagles are off to an incredible start: undefeated at 8-0, ranked first in the region, and among the top five teams in the state! They’re on the road tonight to take on Dublin Scioto.

Next Friday, October 23, is the team’s final regular-season home game and Senior Night, as the Eagles host Westland before heading into the playoffs. Come cheer on the team and help us celebrate our seniors! ❤️💛

General Rosecrans' kindergarteners kept an eye on safety today! 👀

A visiting optometrist taught students about glasses, safety goggles, when protective eyewear is important, and the different parts of the eye. Sammy Safe Eyes even joined the lesson to help make learning about eye safety fun and memorable!

Thank you to our special guest for helping some of our youngest Eagles learn how to protect their eyes! ❤️💛
