Superheroes don’t skip breakfast.

Make sure you and your family fuel up with a nutritious morning meal to help kickstart and power your day! Check out these super tips: https://www.eatright.org/food/planning/meals-and-snacks/power-up-with-breakfast

It's Tech Tuesday! From 8:35-9:25am, stop by the high school business room for help with your phone, tablet or other technology questions. We will also have someone at the Washington library from 5-6pm tonight.

High School track practice starts Monday, March 9th. Coaches are looking forward to a good season and it all starts Monday!

Junior high track practice starts Monday, March 9th at 3:30. Junior high consists of 7th and 8th graders, and because our numbers are low enough on the girls' side, 6th grade girls! Be sure athletes have practice clothes, running shoes, and a physical on file. There will also be a parent/athlete meeting at 5:00 on Monday. All parents and athletes are encouraged to attend.

Hello Tigers! 

     Happy March! Spring is almost here and the kids can feel it. Check out this week's newsletter for upcoming activities and important reminders. 

Have a great week!

We had 6 musicians travel to Wichita for the 12A State Honor Band. Unfortunately one ended up sick yesterday, and we are hoping he gets to feeling better. But the 5 that stayed had a great week! We were blessed to work with Composer/Clinician Adrian Sims. Brianne and Tucker have traveled to their final Honor band with us! But we are so grateful for their leadership. Kelly and Charlie knocked it out of the park in the band, and while Zoe didn't get the chance to step into the Alternate spot she instead took on the roll of assistant student manager and assistant to the director. We had her finding new music copies, moving equipment, directing directors/students/and escorting composers. A special shoutout thanks to Kelly Minge for being the kids chaperone and chauffeur as Mrs Sawin was the 12A Honor Band Chair(meaning she was responsible for all 93 students and the clinician) ! We couldn't do what we do without all the wonderful helpers, people, and the kids working extra hours! Congratulations

Our Tiger Boys ended their season last night with a loss to Valley Falls. We seemed to be the more physical team but just struggled to keep momentum. We started the 4th qtr down 51-44, by the 6 minute mark we had an 8-0 run to go ahead 52-51. Valley Falls made a little run but we fought back! Tied 57-57 with 3:41 to go. Valley Falls pulled ahead for the final time but never out of reach. We just couldn't keep them contained. We had a half court shot as time expired to tie the game, it didn't go in. I'm proud of these boys! They showed up to complete. #12 seed Washington County nearly knocked off a league champion & #5 seed team in Valley Falls. We played a tough schedule this season! We worked through injuries and were finally healthy for the last couple games and it showed! Season record 8-17 We graduate four Seniors: Gavyn Leduc, Eli Chandler, Brody Applegarth and Lucas Thompson. Thank you for cheering these guys on!

When the Big Tigers drive tractors to school, we always like to see which is taller - a tractor tire or a preschooler!

Kansas State College of Education brought the book "K-State: An Alphabet Journey Across Campus" for all our elementary students as part of their "Crash the Class" for Ms. Zoeller. Our students appreciated the gift! @kstatecoe

On Wednesday, Kansas State University's College of Education surprised our very own 4th grade teacher, Brooklynn Zoeller, with Crash the Class. The “Crash the Class” video series is a way to recognize early career teachers. Principal Amy Hoover nominated Brooklynn for this video celebration. Brooklynn was given gift cards and classroom supplies that were donated by Credit Union of American and Project Teacher.
