January Board Report

Sickness is beginning to hit both schools. As of Monday, absences due to illness are not too high and most of the staff has avoided the bug.  

Elementary:

It wasn’t all parties and performances at WES in December.  Elementary students were busy!

3rd grade students completed projects on animal cells:

And then created reports on animals that included their habitats:

 

USGL-102nd grade

Completed projects related to Holidays Around the World!

 

Junior High/High School

In December, the Kansas Board of Education passed a mandate requiring all students graduating high school to be “familiar” with CPR.  This mandate will begin in the 2018-19 school year.  Many districts are covering this mandate in their health classes. The state will provide materials to the service centers.  I have emailed Jennifer Hanni, Greenbush Representative.  She stated that more information would be coming from the service center during the monthly CIA meetings.   Mrs. Newton and the principals will work on how to implement the new mandate.

Congratulations to the JH Boys Basketball team for defeating MdCV in the first round of the league tournament.  They will play Olpe@6:15 Thursday.

The SAFE group sponsored a drunk driving experience for students Monday, December 18th. SRO Jeremy Lind brought a “vehicle” to school that simulates drunk driving. Students had the opportunity to attempt to drive the vehicle.  

Finals were completed without too many students or teachers going bonkers!

Tuesday, December 19th ended with the finals of the 9-12 Dodgeball Tournament.  

Sophomores and Juniors were in the finals--Sophomores came out with the win!!!
