We may have missed National Yearbook Week by a week, but we’re excited to show off our new staff shirts that show off this year’s logo designed by the staff themselves.

A big thank-you to this hardworking crew for all they’ve done so far and for everything still ahead as we work to capture the memories, stories, and moments that make this school year unique. We’re glad to have you on the trail with us!

The 7th Grade Science Class had the opportunity to create and showcase the basic unit of life in class today. The Assignment: Construct a 3D model of a Cell was the "At home" Lab activity for these students, with emphasis on being creative. These students did not disappoint in the creative department! Several made models from household items, detailed drawings, posters, construction paper and crafts, with some even tapping into their culinary skills by making "Cellular Desserts" that they labeled, using candies, cookies and frosting to represent the various organelles found in plant and animal cells. Of course, their favorite part was sharing their “cells” with their classmates at the end of class. Very proud of this crew and their effort with this project today! (Special thank you to all those at home who made this experience possible for them as well, parents, siblings, grandmas, you all are the best!)

Washington County FFA Members attending the North Central District Dairy Cattle Evaluation Competition conducted by the Linn FFA Chapter, with the Ohlde Dairy providing the host location so students could evaluate cows and heifers, and opening their doors to share about the dairy industry with the nearly 300 FFA students from across the district who attended. Thirteen students from Washington County participated in the event and Witt Keesecker finished as the 5th place individual in the senior division. Thank you to the Linn Community for hosting another excellent Dairy Cattle Event!

Dairy Cattle Judging 2026

On October 8th, the Washington County FFA and FFA Alumni Program hosted the North East Area State FFA Land and Homesite Evaluation Career Development Event. As one of five Area (Regional) Land Judging sites, 10 different schools competed in the competition, which was hosted on a land site north of Washington owned by Rodney and Kannette Stewart. Ryan Stewart provided a great deal of the man-power for the event by digging the holes, mowing the sites and even pumping the water out of the land judging pits after nearly five inches of rain engulfed the site in late September. This heavy rain actually caused the event to be postponed a week later than originally scheduled. Group Leaders and contest volunteers were Rod and Kannette Stewart, Ryan Stewart, Bill Slater, Jamie Peter, Brooke Ohlde and Kaitlyn Peters of the River Valley Extension District. Site Preparation was conducted by Mr. Jeffrey Hellerich, NRCS Soil Scientist, with help from Tim With and Gavin Uhlik with the Natural Resources Conservation Service. So many local individuals came together to make this year's state competition a success, we would not have been able to do this without their time and support!

First place honors went to Jackson Heights High School FFA, who swept both the Land and Homesite Evaluation Divisions of the event. In Land Judging, Manhattan High School finished in 2nd, Jefferson County North 3rd, and Washington County 4th. In Homesite Evaluation, Washington County finished in 2nd place as a team, with Kane Scheer leading the scoring by placing 2nd Individually overall. Witt Keesecker placed 5th and Rowley Keesecker finished 8th. Congratulations!

Today was the BVL cross country meet at University Park. This is the hardest course of the entire season. The girls ran hard and attacked the hills like we had practiced. Charlotte was 13th with a PR and Kinsley ran strong for 16th. As the boys were warming up, the clouds got darker and the rumbling began. The race started and the lightening was wicked. The race was called in the middle of the race. It was hard to gather all runners as they are spread out on the course. Some of the runners finished, and some did not. As coaches, we thought the race was called and all were to report to team camps. As of tonight, we have not been told how this will be handled. Will they rerun? Will they leave it as is? When we know more, we will post. Enjoy the pictures before it got crazy!
