Celebrating Students

You may not be in the schools for the next 3 weeks, but you are the most important part of the schools.  And over the last month there have been so many kids who have had great achievements and recognitions that I haven't had a chance to recognize and celebrate.

Nanami Campbell, Evie DeCarlo, and Paige Delma were among the members on the WKHS Swim Team relay who qualified for the State Championships.  I am so proud of you!

Congratulations also to Connor Burke who is a member of the WKHS Bowling team and Connor qualified for Districts.  Such a great accomplishment!

The Coronavirus has, obviously, impacted everything in our school and community and that includes student celebrations that were scheduled for Friday...

The Socratic Society ceremony was postponed for 55 students and so we will formally celebrate all of them later in the school year, but I want to honor and recognize all of my student who were supposed to be inducted into the Socratic Society yesterday.  This includes: Jumana Al-Jumaili, Caleb Anderson, Connor Asbury, Katie Bartlett, Nick Baughman, Reghan Beerman, Leah Beyke, Brielle Bomsta, Lindsey Buterbaugh, Josh Carter, Trustin Chaffin, Elizabeth Douglass, Ian Elder, Chloe Emberton, and Jacob Fisher.  I know it is disappointing when you don't get recognized as planned, but I appreciate your patience as we push that off until May.

And yesterday was also the athletic signing day for two students including, Josh Carter, who was celebrated for all of his years of hard work on the football field and in the classroom.  His

commitment to school and sports has allowed Josh to follow his dreams of being able to continue his football career at Muskingum University.  It was disappointing that all of Josh's teammates, friends, and extended family members were not allowed to come together to celebrate at Josh's signing ceremony, but the pride we all have for Josh is not diminished even without being able to attend.  Congratulations Josh and keep chasing your dreams!
