Organized sports help students learn leadership and communication skills. High schools in the district say more freshmen are participating in sports after having experienced them in middle school.

Wednesday marked the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Members of the Battle Ground High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps joined Clark County Fire District 3 at a Patriot Day ceremony.
Cadet corps commander Jack McAleer read a national decree before a color guard of cadets and firefighters presented the colors and lowered the flag to half staff.
Our thanks to everyone who participated.
