Thanks to the help of local businesses, residents, and surrounding community the Arcola Purple Rider Volleyball team will be able to donate $1600.00 to Mill's Breast Cancer Institute in Urbana, IL. We live in a great community that loves to support our school. Here is a picture from last night of the Arcola Volleyball Girls with the Blue Ridge Knights. The Purple Riders beat the Knights in two sets, which made the night even better.
A huge “Thank You” to the Arcola Sports Boosters for their generous donation to Arcola High School Athletics. Pictured above is Angie Miller and Tiffany Roberts presenting a check to A.D Nick Lindsey. The donation will go towards a Free Lap Timing System that’ll benefit all sports.
Today is the Arcola Lady Riders Annual Pink Out Night. Come out and support your Lady Riders and help them raise money to find a cure for Breast Cancer. We will have over 35 items to raffle off. Tickets are 1 for $1 or 30 for $20. Ticket sales will stop at the start of the Varsity game and winners will be announced between the first and second set of the Varsity game. If you can't make it to the game, you can still support this great cause by making a monetary donation by texting MILLS to 71777. For those that don't want to mess with the text, our page can be found at https://app.mobilecause.com/vf/MILLS/JillHohlbauch.

In light of Friday’s tragedy, the Sullivan School District students, staff, and community members will dress in blue in honor of the elementary student, Tyson Mendoza, who lost his life in the bus accident. Blue was Tyson’s favorite color.
The Arcola School District will wear blue on Monday as well, as a way to show our support.
It takes a village and then some to help heal after such a tragic event. Please, continue to keep everyone involved in your thoughts and join us and other communities by also wearing blue. 💙
