The track meet for today is cancelled due to inclement weather conditions, specifically falling temperatures and wind chill factor.
Who is your "ONE";the ONE person you cannot do your job without? The Metamora Elementary Teachers' Association asked its members to share the name of one such person. We all know it takes way more than one person to help us do our jobs, but here are a few that were highlighted.

Metamora and Germantown Hills Girls and Boys Basketball teams came together to help raise money for the Greater Peoria Honor Flight. Money raised came from shirt sales, admission and concessions at the basketball games, silent auction items, 50/50 raffle and donations. Bob Reed with the Greater Peoria Honor Flight accepted the check for $5,086.56. Bob shared with us that 11 years ago the cost of the flight was $50,000. Today it now costs $110,000! A BIG THANK YOU to all those that helped in one way or another to raise this money. It is greatly appreciated!
