Washington County Schools

Although none of the three teams made finals, the students were able to experience many new people and situations. We did receive recognition for earning the designation as a gold champion chapter. To earn this designation, the chapter had to complete a multitude of activities and many thanks go to Layla and Alyssa for organizing the activities and making sure everything was turned in by the multiple deadlines. Kelly performed her duties as the District IV vice president and was excited to meet many of the chapters present at NLC. We are thankful we made it home safely and in time to enjoy the July 4th celebrations. Thank you to every business and person who purchased shirts or items at our bakery sale, we appreciate the opportunity to earn our way to national competition.

FCCLA NLC--And we are off...cross country trek with flights canceled. But, fingers crossed, we get there today yet!

FBLA NLC - Today, the girls practiced while Mrs. Bruna attended a Judge Manager meeting. Then the group toured the Sea Life aquarium, enjoyed some shopping, ate lunch and toured the Riverwalk in San Antonio. At the opening session, Kelly performed her state duties and Mrs. Bruna was recognized on stage for being selected for the Adviser Wall of Fame. She is the 18th high school teacher from Kansas to receive this honor in 30 years.

Reminder for Band Students:
We will be having band practice this week before the July 4 parades! Most practices are optional, but there are a couple mandatory practices. **I know summer is crazy especially this week, so just contact Mrs. Sawin with conflicts so she is aware. Practices will be in the Band Room. Access will be limited to the Band Room only, and students should enter through the emergency exit door of the band room only. Bring Water, Bring Instrument and music if you already have it. This will be for all band students 7-12 and graduated students are welcome.
