Greencastle High School received its official banner at a Dec. 14 basketball game against Sullivan, signifying its status as a “Unified Champion School” for participating in the Champions Together program.

Last weekend the North Putnam swim and dive Team members didn’t let the wind, rain, or dropping temperatures stop them from spreading some Christmas cheer around Heritage Lake. The group hit 11 houses around the community that were suggested by friends and neighbors. Students there included Dustin Novak, Mason Allen, Tori Louie, Josie Lyons, Abby Simmerman, Maddie Trotter, Kyle Young, Kenny Knutti, Grace Elmore, Lauren Lotzow, Jacob Farrington, Dagan Everman, Sophia Lotzow, Nicole Huffman, Baylee Miller, Justin Thomas, Seth Thompson, Jake Shinovich, and Asa Foxworthy.

North Putnam recently received its numerals to recognize its third year as a participating school in the “Champions Together” program.

North Putnam’s boys’ and girls’ basketball teams traveled to Indianapolis on Saturday morning to serve breakfast at the Ronald McDonald House. “We had a great time,” Cougar boys’ coach Collin McCartt said. “Coach [Jarrod] Duff and I are lucky to get to coach a group of great kids.” Duff and McCartt originated the idea three years ago. Duff’s daughter was born nine weeks prematurely a few years ago, and spent the first seven weeks of her life in Riley Children’s Hospital.
