Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!
Many might not know what esports is, and that's okay since it's new to Somonauk High School. Esports is competitive video gaming, and I wanted to share with you that in the first year of its existence here at Somonauk, David Boczko, Zach Gomez, and Jackson Vidito have gamed their ways to the 2020 Fortnite Championship!
These young men are 1 of 32 teams in the NATION that made it to the Fortnite apex! I am TREMENDOUSLY PROUD of their efforts, and if you cross paths with any of them, please congratulate them on their amazing efforts!
The Championship takes place today at 3:30 pm.

To SHS Students and Parents; During our Adaptive Pause, students and parents will not need to login to Teacherease for attendance. Teachers will record attendance each period based on student's virtual attendance, similar to in-person learning. IVVC student attendance is also reported based on students that login and participate. Thank You, Mr. Benson

Students, faculty, staff, and the Somonauk community would like to recognize and show appreciation to the Somonauk School District #432 school board members. This week is an opportunity to honor school board members who serve as unpaid volunteers for the benefit of the students and community residents, while also acting as front-line education advocates providing a local voice and vision for the district. All of these responsibilities still hold true, but they take on a much larger meaning in 2020. Thank you for your time, dedication, and service!
Due to current ISBE and IDPH regulations, we are unable to host our normal recognition of our local Veterans. This year we would like to recognize those that have celebrated with us in the past, and that have been recognized by their family and friends.
Veterans, with the greatest gratitude, we thank you for your service to our nation!

VETERANS DAY 2020
Somonauk Community Unit School District #432 would like to honor our United States Veterans during the week of Veterans Day. While our annual school assembly cannot take place in person this year, we would still like to acknowledge our local veterans who selflessly served our country. Please help us pay tribute to them in a virtual ceremony by sending a digital photo or two, possibly “then” and “now”, of a veteran that you know, as well as branch served, time period, and any special recognition (i.e., Lt. John Patrick, Army, 1965-1969, 2 Bronze Stars)
Somonauk School District values the service of our Veterans, we look forward to honoring them and their families this year. Please send the pictures to nesse@somonauk.net by November 2, 2020, in order to be included in the presentation.
Congratulations to IVVC Outstanding Fall 2020 Students

Updates from the IHSA - A Boys Golf Regional! Go Bobcats!
Somonauk Bobcats made their first eSports appearance Monday evening against Bacon County High School. Kyle Davenport, Mikey Lewinski, and Julio Salgado made up the Rocket League trio team against a veteran group that has spent three years playing together.
While the outcome wasn’t what they desired in a best of five series, the Bobcats were able to work together as a team that never played a round as a team before this evening, and were able to pull positives out of the match. “I couldn’t be prouder of you gentlemen” stated Coach McMahan. “You are the first to represent Somonauk eSports, and we are going to do great things!”
Look for more upcoming matches in the near future!
