WTHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes First Meeting Friday, September 13th 7:00am Mrs. Campbell's Room (E109)

Our middle school cross country team hosted the first annual Senator Invite on their home course. Both boys and girls came in 1st place against St. Paul and Wheeler. The top 10 finishers were Annabelle Sexton, Wimberly Scott, Caroline Steele, Porter Wilks, Anthony Hreha, Jackson Reeder, and Kai Suga. Willy Wilks and Jody Stump won their races and set new course records. They are all looking forward to the Rensselaer invite on Saturday.

Goal achieved. As you make your way West of the school you may have noticed the new Net System that rises above the Girls and Boys Soccer Field. This project demonstrates the great community support that we are fortunate to have in Washington Township. With the help of the Gilbert Family ( Scott, Aimee, Owen), Matt Woods and ModernEdge, Jeremy Reeder and Reeder’s Auto, Andrew Brinkley and Circle R, Ken Kukler, Jim Fleming, Julie and Lucas Ferguson, Coach Fleming, Coach Swann and the administration in Mrs. Mateer and Mr. Fields we were able to coordinate all of these willing participants over several weekends to complete this project before the start of the 2024 Soccer season. This is a great reflection on what can be done in support of our student athletes.

The Nutrition Classes worked on knife skills this week, and cooked a variety of different items.

Next on our list of introductions is Ms. Nelson! Ms. Nelson takes over for long-time Senator, Mrs. Jablonski, who retired at the end of last school year. She will be teaching primarily senior English, with a few sections of junior English. Ms. Nelson is in her third year of teaching, with her first two years of teaching occurring at sister school, Kouts. Welcome to the red and black, Ms. Nelson!

Selfie Friday Mr. Atwood's 8th Grade PLTW class should be working on their input devices but stopped to do a selfie instead! Have a great Friday!

Today we would like to introduce you to Ms. Johnson! Ms. Johnson will serve as both our media center specialist and technology assistant. She has already brought a tremendous amount of excitement and joy to the position. Ms Johnson can often be found working at the Chicago Street Theatre in her spare time. Most recently she was in the ensemble for the play Lear and played Portia in Julius Ceaser. Welcome, Ms. Johnson!

Today we welcome Mr. Gast! Mr. Gast comes to us from Hebron Middle School where he spent 4 years teaching Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. He is also the new head girls' varsity basketball coach. On top of those two new positions, Mr. Gast also welcomed his first child into the world just before school started! Congratulations, Mr. Gast, and welcome!

It is day 15 of school, and teachers and students are settling into a groove. We thought now would be a perfect time to introduce you to our new staff! Over the next week or so, a new staff member will take center stage each day. Please help us in welcoming them to Washington! First up, we have a familiar face making his return to Washington - Mr. Hutson! After spending a few years in Westville and LaPorte, Mr. Hutson returns home to teach Chemistry, AP Chemistry, and Physics. We are very lucky to have Mr. Hutson back with us. Welcome (back)!

Nutrition and Wellness cooking labs are underway. Today students made chocolate covered pretzels.
