As the school year draws to a close, the time has come for our library books to return to their shelves. All books checked out this school year are due on Friday, May 10, except for Lower School students, whose books are due one week later on Friday, May 17. After these dates, any books remaining on your account will be considered lost, and you will be charged a replacement fee for each book.
In the next few weeks, all rising Middle and High School students will get a preview of their summer reading lists from our librarians.

Rising LS students may not check out books from our library over the summer.
Books checked out over the summer are due back to the Hassenfeld Library on Friday, August 16, at the end of the first week back to school. All summer checkouts not returned by Sunday, September 1 will be considered lost, and your account will be charged a replacement fee for each book.

Winged Deer Park and trails in Johnson City hosted our 4th race on Sunday October 11th, and despite a bit of hurricane outwash winds and showers - and reduced team numbers due to fall break and distance from Nashville - our racers utilized all available skills and speed which helped “wing" Sophomore Claire Dehner to a 4th place podium spot, our first podium appearance and medal for the season.
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
