Opened Up Their Eager Eyes: School Time Once Again in South Country


South Country School District students arrived at school on Sept. 2. | South Country Central School District

A day after Labor Day, spirits were nothing but high for  South Country School District Students; from the entering Kindergarteners and future class of 2038 graduates, to this year’s current senior class of 2025-2026. 

On their first day back at school, eager-eyed elementary students were greeted by their new teachers and given a preview of the learning activities they would participate in over the next several months. 

At the middle school level, students spent the day adjusting to the flow of new phenomena such as period-based scheduling and alternating teachers on a level they have yet to encounter.

“We are excited to have our students back at school,” said Superintendent of Schools Antonio Santana. “The year will be filled with Clipper Pride and high-quality academic and extracurricular experiences for our students.”

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
