deepest sympathies to the Ouellette and Kulmann families on the
passing of the Steve Ouellette, age 50, husband of HKMS Physical
Education / Health Teacher Michelle and Jaret Kulmann, age 42,
husband of BES Grade 1 Teacher Angela. Please keep the Ouellette and
Kulmann families in your thoughts and prayers over the coming
days.
The district inducted the Class of 2010 of
the Haddam-Killingworth Hall of Fame this past Saturday
evening. Frank Sparks, Robert Baranoff and Michael Kish join
the Class of 2009 inductees Patsy Kamerica, Richard Langer, Mark
Brookes, Dennis O'Rourke and Richard Dupuis as members of the
Hall. Pictures taken at the event are now available for
viewing on the District's website www.rsd17.org.
The HKMS
Baseball team has had a wonderful season so far. They have outscored
their opponents this year a total of 123-39. With a current record
of 10-1, the team is looking to extend its 10 game winning streak.
The team has been lead by an outstanding group of players including
Kyle McCormick, Griffin Bremer, Brian Moskey, and Derek Kasperzyk.
These 4 athletes have made key contributions with both their
pitching and hitting. Several other players that have made a great
impact on the team's success include Nick Afragola, Luke Velez,
Brendan Centi, and Ethan Kovach. The team's only loss was to a very
talented North Branford squad the first game of the season. The
Cougars learned a lot from that loss and were very well prepared
going into the rest of the season. When North Branford came around
the second time in the schedule, HK knew it would be playing its
toughest opponent. With a score of 4-3, the Cougars gave the NB
Thunderbirds their second loss of the year, which put HK at the top
spot in the league. The team looks to remain there as they have 2
games left in the
season.
The district offers congratulations to the members
and coaches of the HKHS Girl's Softball team as well as the
HKHS Track and Field and Tennis teams on very successful
seasons. Thank you for your individual and collective
contrbutions.
