Many in our community have already reached out asking how they can help. At this time, both the Grade School and High School offices are accepting monetary or gift card donations to support the family as they navigate this difficult time. The school offices are open from 7:30am until 3:30pm.
A donation box will also be available at today’s home Topper baseball game at the concession stand.
Thank you for continuing to lift the Stoll family up in your prayers and for showing the compassion and generosity that make our community so strong.

Mount Pulaski Track & Field had a strong showing across back-to-back meets this week at Central A&M on Friday and ALAH on Saturday, with athletes continuing to compete hard and improve.
A big highlight from the ALAH meet was Piper Tyson, who brought home two medals with an impressive 2nd and 3rd place finish. Great work stepping up in a competitive field!
In the field events, Connor French (triple jump) and Austin Kretzinger (long jump) both put together solid performances and got on the board with scoring jumps for the team.
At the CAM meet, Andrea Noltensmeier showed outstanding effort and versatility by competing in four different events—an awesome example of dedication and team-first mentality. Gage Hickey also turned in strong field event performances with second place in both shot and disc, contributing valuable efforts for the team.
Kelten Olson also had a great stretch of performances, shaving time off both his 3200m and 400m from the CAM meet to the ALAH meet the very next day. That kind of turnaround and improvement speaks to his toughness and work ethic.
Overall, we’re proud of the effort across the board. Our athletes continue to push themselves, support each other, and represent Mount Pulaski the right way.
Looking forward to building on this momentum as the season continues!

It's that time of year! High School Seniors will likely be chasing each other around local towns with water guns. The "Senior Assassin" game is here this year.
In case you are out of the loop, the game involves high school seniors "stalking" and "shooting" each other with water guns in an attempt to be the last Senior standing. Think of "Hide & Seek" with water guns. Because the game involves a certain degree of hiding & sneaking around to surprise other players, there will likely be calls to the police, 911, and/or the school, reporting suspicious subjects that turn out to be students playing the game.
For the students, the safest thing is not to play. We know it's “just a game,” but the reality is that it may not appear that way to the public.
If a student plays anyway, here are a couple of reminders:
1. School property is completely off limits as policy prohibits weapons (including toy/fake weapons) on school property. If played on school property, disciplinary consequences will occur. This includes both school properties, school parking lots and exteriors, and Veterans Park.
2. Don't trespass onto or into other people's property while playing (especially at night) and, if you're asked to leave, do so.
3. Use water pistols that are brightly colored, large and are clearly toys. Hiding in dark places and carrying anything that can be mistaken for a firearm is a recipe for disaster. Countless tragedies have occurred in our nation where someone with a realistic looking (but fake) weapon presents it and a police officer or citizen shoots them in defense.
4. The same goes for wearing masks, camouflage, etc. - Don’t do it! Keep your everyday clothing on.
5. If you see the police coming, don't run or hide. Instead, explain to the Officers what you are doing and cooperate if they ask you to stop.
The police departments and MPCUSD #23 do not condone the game.
This is a notice to keep the public informed.
If you see something or someone suspicious, please don't confront anyone yourself. Call 911!
There was a lot to celebrate at last night's home track meet! First, and foremost, it was the inaugural meet on our new track!! Thanks to all of the amazing volunteers, I would say the meet went off without a hitch! Next, and maybe most impressive, both Gage Hickey and Piper Tyson threw OVER state qualifying distance in discus last night! Gage threw 45.17 meters (state qualifying is 43.05 meters). Piper threw 36.75 meters (state qualifying is 33.45 meters). Both Piper and Gage took first place in discus. Piper Tyson also took first place in shot put with a distance of 10.23 meters and second place in the 100M dash with a time of 17.1 seconds (first place was 17.0). Conner French took first place in the 100M dash with a time of 14.9 seconds. The boys 4X200 team made up of Austin Kretzinger, Kelten Olson, Carter Clark, and Conner French took first place with a time of 1:55.2. Austin Kretzinger took first place in long jump with a jump of 5.7 meters. Conner French took first place in triple jump with a jump of 11.4 meters. Gabby Anders and Karsyn Wilham both long jumped for the first time and took 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Once again, a track meet doesn't happen without a huge number of volunteers. We had an awful lot of MPHS teachers out there helping along with parents and community members and our coaching staff--Coach Cameron, Coach Tyson, and Coach Guy. Coach Clark had other obligations to attend to during the meet but his prep time prior to the meet getting the throwing sectors ready for competition was invaluable!! I appreciate you!! ~Coach Campbell
