Yesterday's Oreo Challenge individual was none other than our very own Mrs. Bertha Bell. We really never know when she is joking or being serious.
Please check the lost and found table. We will be clearing it off before spring break.
We will have a senior meeting for all seniors that have Ivy Tech Dual Credits. The meeting will be 1st hour on Tuesday after we return from spring break. Mrs. Lipinski will call you down. Ms. Frye from Ivy Tech will help us during the meeting. You will learn how to complete certificates at no cost to you.
March 23
The number 1 answer to Monday's oreo challenge was Miss Ault, however that wasn't the right answer. The correct answer was Mrs. Gulbrandson. Fun fact, Mrs. Gulbranson and Mrs. Peres went to Germany together with their high school German class.
Tuesday's Oreo Challenge was Mrs. Barkas. She grew up as the baby of 6 kids and went on to raise 5 kids of her own. She says raising 5 wonderful humans is her best accomplishment.
Today's Oreo Challenge individual is also the youngest of a large family. With 7 siblings this individual grew up in the largest family of all WT faculty and staff. If this individual had to choose a different job it would be a zookeeper. This individual relaxes by hiking. His or her favorite vacation was going camping though Canada. If this individual was a superhero, his/her super power would be to keep people guessing, because we never know when this individual is joking or serious.
Tomorrow, all staff and students in the middle and high school may contribute $1 to wear Pajamas to School!! What a way to start off our Spring Break!

All proceeds benefit the Youth Opportunity Fund of Kiwanis.

Her excellence shines through in her student-centered approach to teaching.

OERO Challenge
This individual has driven a NASCAR at 148 mph. In the spring, you may find this person cheering for the Cubs. This person may write, right handed but will throw a ball left handed. As a student this person participated in track. This individual is accustomed to being with many people as he or she was raised in a large family with 6 kids and then had many kids as an adult. If this person would work somewhere other than WT it would be a craft store. This person is one of WT's biggest supporters.
Third quarter honor rolls are posted in the Atrium and outside of the Media Center.
Congratulations to all of our hard-working students!

The Washington Township Athletic Department asks that all students attending the game to please remain seated and be respectful between the JV and Varsity Boys games for this special presentation.
