Impressive Students

I wish I had pictures of all of these students, but this post has been a long time coming and I didn't want to wait any longer to be able to celebrate their successes.

Last month I was lucky enough to attend the musical, The Secret Garden.  So many of "my" students were involved in making this such a special show.  Sharing their talents on stage included: Steven Borchers, Grayson Brown, Nick Contreras, Katybeth Crider, and Emily Dyer.  But a major production like this cannot happen without the work of many people behind the scenes.  My students who played a vital role behind the scenes included Dylan Buford, Conor Conklin, Joelle Dirksen, Erica Eyen, and Jake Eyen.  A musical is never complete without music and Lance Brown and Anna Chen shared their talents in that way.  And, last but not least, the set was built by: Tamana Afrin, Max Alderman, Erin Beard, Ava Burson, Cainan Carlisle, Julian DeLa Cruz, and Chris Dessoir.

Many of the WKHS students have been recognized recently with Art Awards for their pieces including: Eaman Abay (Honorable Mention for Charred Remains), Jacob Bloom (Honorable Mention for Enchanged Pineapple Forest), Reed Costello (Honorable Mentions for Peace in Death and Mount Adventure), and Anne Dargenio (Honorable Mentions for Not These and Relief and Gold Key for Direction).

The Science Olympiad team has been excelling and several of my students were among those who have received ribbons for placing in the top 10 in their events including: Megan Coogan and Beth Findell (10th in Air Trajectory), Danielle Chan (6th in Bungee Drop), Beth Findell (8th in Mission Possible), and Vaishnavi Dasaka (7th in Protein Modeling).  They compete again next weekend - Good Luck!


And, I am behind on recognizing both my January and February Students of the Month.  As you may be aware, Students of the Month are nominated by a staff member in recognition for outstanding contributions in the classroom, school community or for their citizenship and character.  (I do have pictures of these students!)

Congratulations to January's Students of the Month: Eryn Chincheck and Jayme Chincheck

Congratulations to February's Students of the Month: Caleb Cravens, Gillian Ferguson, Kayla Beals, Grayson Biglin, Brandon Badowi, Sam Biglin, Grant Dierksheide, Luke Durbin, Tyler Davis, and not pictured Rebecca Dutko.

Congratulations to each of you for your impressive accomplishments!
