Congratulations to Zackary Glock and Cade Clerico who have been named Commended Students in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2020 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2020 competition by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Four WL-S students participated in the Young Americans workshop at Bellefontaine HS this past Sunday-Tuesday. Young Americans is an educational performing arts workshop specializing in voice, dance, song writing and acting. They learned an hour-long show in 3 short days and participated with over 200 students from area schools. The lessons they learned were immeasurable both for music and for life. Young Americans strives to provide a confidence boosting, team building, and educational experience for all. Pictured are Dylan Domachowski, Music Teacher Brice Henry, Illa Kerns, Sophia Holland, Anna Byrd, and a group photo of the final performance.
Our annual Homecoming Parade will take place Thursday, October 3rd at 6 pm. All students participating in the parade need to arrive no later than 5:30 at Lions Park to line up. Youth, middle-school, and high-school clubs and athletes should receive information from their coaches/advisors about where exactly to meet. We hope to see you there!
Little Tiger Cheerleaders concluded a three day camp experience under the lights Friday evening when they cheered our Tigers to a 56-8 victory over Madison Plains! Varsity Cheerleaders led three after school practices teaching sidelines cheers and a dance to 76 students in grades K-5. The Little Tigers were especially excited to show what they learned while cheering the whole first quarter of Friday night’s game. Great job to all of our Tiger cheerleaders for a great show this weekend!

Lights were low, music was groovy and the books were hot at the 4th grade Language Arts ‘Book Tasting Cafe’. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Kale set the mood this morning with a real coffee house feel, while students “tasted” five different genres of literature. This was a fun way to help students understand the concept of successfully finding good-fit books. Good-fit books are books that students understand yet provide a little challenge, are interesting to their individual taste, and are appropriate length for their reading level. Way to make reading fun!
WL-S football players were up before the sunrise to help ‘Logan County Vets to DC’ load luggage, wheelchairs, and walkers on the busses transporting 51 veterans to Washington DC this morning. Cheerleaders helped lined the streets in Bellefontaine to wish our Veterans well and thank them for their service. Thanks to this great bunch of student athletes for volunteering very early for such a great cause.
WL-S sent 103 FFA students to the Farm Science Review where they helped the Ohio Cattle Womens Association in the food tent. The Cattle Womens Association works hard to organize, prepare and serve a lot of people during the FSR, and it was an honor to be invited to help out! Special thanks to the Cattle Womens Association and our chaperones for making this day a success!
