Washington County Schools

These 6 students in Applied Business Development class(Brianne, Layla, Alyssa, Jayden, Brody and Tucker) were responsible for the creation of 362 student shirts in the first 2 weeks of school. Thank you UBT for sponsoring our student and staff shirts and supporting FBLA and yearbook. At the high school level, the shirts are different colors to distinguish the classes for class wars.

The Culinary class is teaming up with the 8th grade STEM class to test their food scientist abilities. They are learning about super foods, nutrition, measurements, creating formulas, testing new ideas, teamwork, and a whole lot more! Stay tuned to see the process unfold.

High school XC goes to Onaga tomorrow to run their course!

Final pictures of the Business Essentials class constructed businesses. Now the girls will use their specific business as we study marketing, laws, and business plans for the rest of the semester.

The Cross Country team is tired of the summer heat, but knows that working through hard practices makes them tougher. Today they took a break from just " running" and did some relay Indian runs and played ultimate frisbee. Even on game day the mileage adds up quickly!

It was a pretty good night for the volleyball girls. The Varsity girls pushed Centralia in both sets, falling 25-19 and 25-23. Then the girls defeated Blue Valley in two sets 25-18 and 25-19. The atmosphere in the gym was awesome vs Blue Valley as the student section really got behind the girls! It really helps to play in front of a supportive group! Thank you so much!

They JV team also picked up a win vs Blue Valley in 3 sets after dropping the first match of the night to Centralia. It was a much needed win for the JV team.

Thank you all for coming out and supporting the girls!!!

Students in Financial Literacy have been learning about two tough topics of personal finance these past 4 weeks: time value of money and budgets. This week they finished their study of budgets and start learning about the variety of taxes on Friday.

The 8th grade girls in Business Essentials are building the roads for their city. Last week they designed their business fronts.

The high school volleyball team has their first home matches of the season tonight. Both the JV and the Varsity are scheduled to play Centralia at 5:00. Blue Valley JV and Varsity are scheduled to play at 6:00. Then we wrap up the evening with JV and Varsity against Blue Valley at 7:00. JV games will be in the elementary gym, and Varsity games will be in the high school gym. Hope to see you there!!!

⚫ B Team: 14–25, 17–25
🔴 C Team: 23–25, 19–25

Every set was a battle, and our athletes are learning how to compete with more focus and determination each match. We’re proud of their progress and know that continued effort will keep moving us in the right direction.

If you know of a parent/guardian that is not receiving the newsletter, please have them reach out to me at jcarlson@usd108.org

Let's have another great week!

We ended the day at 2-3. We got a little better today! Won over Frankfort. Lost a heart breaker to Onaga. Ran out of gas against Cair Paravrel. Very good day overall!!’

Volleyball girls split the first two matches of the day. Dropped a tough on to Jackson Heights, but rebounded for our first win of the season vs Valley Falls! Feels good to have a win!!!

What a week. Your Marching Tigers started the week off extra early with a 5am call time, to head to the Kansas State Fair. We competed in the marching and the arena categories this year earning strong two ratings in both. With over 50% of our band being first year players this is a huge success in the first three weeks of school. Everyone is continuing to improve, and I have no doubt our upper class leadership will have our underclassman confident and ready in a few weeks for Homecoming. You might have heard early in the week that we caught a few rain showers while we were marching and hanging at the fair...that little rumor was true! Thankful we had one of the Greatest Bus Drivers of All Time on the trip! Without Dan I am confident we would still be in the lake...I mean parking lot. The kids made the best of a wet stormy day. We dried out our instruments, uniforms, and subsequently my classroom all week. In time to be ready for our first home football game. This photo on the field means so much to me. If you look at it, you might say you can't even see who it is...I think that is what makes this special to me. In this beautiful moment before the game I see not just the band, football players, cheerleaders, or fans. In this photo I see everyone as one strong Tiger Family paying homage to our country's flag, its history, its good days, and reflecting on its bad ones. All of these kids make me proud to be a Tiger!! Thank you all for your support, enjoy this weekend, and let's get fired up and travel with the football boys to Hanover next week!!
