Congratulations to the Nursery Landscape Team from Washington County placing as the 15th Place Team in the Nation this past week at Nationals! Individually, Tanner Baker led the scoring by placing as the 17th place Individual in the event, while Cayden Meadows, Makenna Elliott and William Svanda rounded out the team. After winning the state competition last spring, the team worked throughout the summer and weekends this fall in preparation for the national competition. In August, our team traveled to Manhattan, Kansas to tour and learn from professionals at the Blueville Nursery. Mr. Joseph Rundle, a Washington native who is the Nursery/Fields Operations Manager, as well as Mr. Keith Westervelt, CEO and President at Blueville, spent time with our team throughout the day and allowed us to work with their professional experts in a variety of key areas to learn more about the nursery and landscaping business. Thank you to Blueville Nursery, Mr. Keith Westervelt and Mr. Joseph Rundle for all of your help in getting us prepared for this competition!

Congratulations to the Washington County FFA Agronomy Team for finishing 2nd Place at the National FFA Convention this past week in Indianapolis, Indiana! Dawson Strunk led the individual scoring with a 705 placing 5th, Amber Kolle posted a score of 703 placing 6th, and Jonathan Wright scored a 700 landing in the 7th spot overall in the Nation. These three each received a Cash Award for placing in the top 10 nationally. Destyni Christenson placed 28th Individually in the Gold Division (Top 1/3). In the Team Event portion of the competition, Washington County posted the highest overall score out of all the teams competing this year. The team put in several hours studying throughout the summer and during weekends this fall in preparation. Spending a day in August working at Kansas State University with the Agronomy Professors was extremely helpful as well. Congratulations Agronomy Team!

Last week the elementary students enjoyed dress up days for Stand Up to Bullying week. We had different themes for each day. The students always love to dress up and especially show off their costumes on Halloween!

The play is on the hunt for a sturdy, backless wooden bench—something like the one in this photo! It doesn’t have to be fancy (a little wear and tear - or a lot- is totally fine), but it does need to hold four people sitting on it.

If you have one we could borrow or use, please comment below or email Erin Toole at etool@usd108.org
. Thanks for helping bring our show to life!

And that's the completion of this XC season! Atticus ran hard today, showed true grit while running and not feeling well, tackled the Wamego Hills, and ran a PR. He finished 61st out of 102 runners. Atticus is a true leader, always leading by positive example and is always coachable! Atticus, great finish to your Junior season. Thanks for everyone who came to support today or who practiced with Atticus this week! #Washingtoncountyproud!

Our season came to an end tonight 56-0 to a very good Ell-Saline team. I am proud of what these boys accomplished. The JV despite not having a season remained on the team and supported our Varsity. The varsity improved their win total on last year and scored 3 times the points. We had several records fall this year. Sadly we have to say good bye to our leader and line senior Gavyn Leduc. He is an inspirational young man that gave 110 percent everyday.

I am already excited for next year’s team as we make improvements and encourage more students to play football.

Thank you for all your support this year during the season.
