Varsity and JV cheerleaders welcomed elementary students to school again this morning! Cheerleaders had this to say, "It's feels good to see the little Tigers get so excited to see us! We love greeting them and go to our classes knowing we make a difference in their morning!"
Homecoming Spirit Week is next week, and themes are the same for K-12! Dress to impress! Full homecoming week details will be released later today.
Mr. Louden challenged his middle school PE students to use teamwork and their communication skills in a game of Caterpillar!
Teams had to work/communicate together to advance forward and backward without using any hands, chin, legs, all while not dropping the basketballs. They had fun while moving their bodies and using brain power to compete!
The fog lifted and the sun is out, so fifth grade is having a picnic! On nice days, our fifth graders are permitted to take their lunch to our courtyard! It's a special treat that they look forward to in the fall and spring when the weather is just perfect.
Please help us extend good luck and safe travels as our Livestock Judging team make their way to compete in the The Big E Livestock Judging Contest in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Big E is the biggest agricultural event in the Northeast. Known as a regional fair, it represents all six New England states at its grounds. More than 7,000 4H and FFA participants compete each year in livestock competitions at The Big E.
The FFA team of Sophia Hardwick, Shyanne McClintick, Owen Barger, and Izabella Meister qualified for the contest after becoming 4th in the state of Ohio in General Livestock Judging! They worked countless hours practicing from November through April in the classroom and at over ten in-person contests giving up every Saturday morning/afternoon during that time.
Please be sure to encourage them on this huge adventure! All of our FFA Big E contestants also serve on the West Liberty-Salem FFA Officer Team. Pictured are Izabella Meister, Sophia Hardwick, Shyanne McClintick, Owen Barger, and FFA/Ag teacher Mrs. Trista Havens.
