Good afternoon, Battlers!
I wanted to send a short note regarding the Facebook post and news story circulating about a high school student finding a syringe containing fentanyl on a sidewalk in Gettysburg. I spoke with Chief Mogard of the Gettysburg Police Department, and he verified that the syringe was not found on school grounds. We are grateful the student notified police right away, as fentanyl poisoning is part of a very real and terrifying epidemic of accidental overdose deaths in our country.
Unfortunately, no community, including the small town we love and call home, is safe or immune from illegal substances. Let's use this event as an opportunity to educate and remind our children, family members, and neighbors about the dangers of fentanyl poisoning and the importance of reporting anything suspicious right away. Please make your children aware that the smallest amount of fentanyl can be deadly. It can be absorbed through the skin, so remind them NOT to touch or pick up any suspicious looking objects.
Our staff has been trained and will be discussing safety reminders with our students. Local law enforcement will also be coming to the school soon to provide more education.
To that smart high school student out there...THANK YOU for doing the right thing, you probably saved a life. Battler family, let's all continue to work together to keep our school and community safe! -Superintendent Mikkelsen

“Freshman captain Jaycee Stevens put in countless miles over the summer, and her dedication is already paying off. Her strong training carried into the season opener, where she raced to an impressive 12th-place finish at the Bowdle Invitational. Jaycee’s hard work, leadership, and determination set the tone for a promising season ahead.”

🌟 Fun Friday in FACS 1! 🌟 Mrs. Langer’s FACS 1 class earned a Fun Friday, and we celebrated by playing the game “Blind Artist”! 🎨👩🎨 What the students don’t realize is that while they were laughing and having fun, they were also practicing essential skills for success — skills that help them thrive in school, career, and life! 🙌 ✨ Skills in Action: • Communication 🗣️ – Giving and following directions clearly • Collaboration 🤝 – Working together to reach a common goal • Leadership 🌟 – Guiding their teammates through the challenge • Problem-Solving & Innovation 💡 – Thinking creatively to succeed • Adaptability 🔄 – Adjusting when plans didn’t work out • Time Management ⏳ – Staying focused under a time crunch It’s learning disguised as fun — exactly what hands-on Family & Consumer Sciences is all about! ❤️ #FunFriday #FACS #EssentialSkills #BattlerPride #LearningMadeFun

📣 Battler of the Week 📣
Congratulations to Jack Simon – a sophomore offensive lineman & linebacker – on being named our first Battler of the Week for the 2025–26 season! 🏈🔥
Here’s what Coach Kusser had to say about Jack:
“Let’s give it to Jack Simon this week. He was making plays all over the field and is a strong confident leader. I feel like when teams scout the Battlers, they key in where Jack is on the field. It is fitting for the first BOTW award of the ‘25-‘26 season to go to Jack Simon.”
Way to set the tone for the season, Jack! 💪❤️🤍🏈 #BattlerPride #AthleteOfTheWeek #BattlerFootball #fn5gl #sweepstakes # TMobile @tmobile @battlernation605
