Washington County Schools

WC is the place to be!! Let's go, Tigers! Tiger fans, boys are playing at home now and the girls play tonight in Frankfort.

I am extremely proud of our Junior High girls. We fought hard and played the entire game with great energy. We might of lost 48-14, but we won in many other ways.

The TVL specials tonight include a pulled pork sandwich meal deal, chili, and pulled pork nachos. Come out to cheer on your WCHS Tigers tonight and support the Class of 2028 at concessions!

Check out this "Big 8" buck on Lucas's "crusader-style" deer plaque. He hunted hard and got a nice buck, and then made a really unique and cool plaque to commemorate the hunt. Good job, Lucas!

Seth built a dual-purpose project, a small end table slash ottoman. He used oak and did a quality job. I am a big fan of golden oak stain; it always turns out well. Good work, Seth!

Brayttan built a second bookcase for his family. He built one just like it last year. This is made out of pine, and he did a nice job constructing it. Good job, Brayttan!

Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Carlson are inviting our retired community, business owners, and any other community patrons who would like to ask questions about our school, to find out how the school could use help, or to just hear about the great work being done at USD 108 to a Q&A session at the Washington Library. Another Q&A will be held for parents and community members during the evening of parent-teacher conferences.

**Information for TVL Streaming**

Below is the link to Blue Valley Technologies YouTube Channel.
Under the “Live” tab is where everyone will be able to find our coverage of the main gym.
The specific links for each individual live stream will not be available until they are here in the gym, but people can find those links on our Blue Valley Technologies Facebook page.

We have decided to go ahead and cover Thursday-Saturday. We previously released that we would only be covering Friday and Saturday, so if you have a way of promoting that change, that would be great! We plan to update our Facebook post this morning.

**Blue Valley will be streaming in the primary gym**
**Washington County will be streaming via Facebook Live in the secondary gym**

Today our staff went to Concordia High School to participate in the NCKPD day with four other school districts. Our day was kicked off by Adrienne Bulinski, former Miss Kansas, talking about activating purpose, treating your attitude like a muscle, and how to perservere. Staff then could choose two breakout sessions to attend. Our very own Michelle Bruna and Andrea Walter presented during these sessions. Each gave well received presentations. The day ended with a powerful message by Trooper Ben.

**Quick edit**
We will be streaming the games in the primary gym on Facebook Live. We will not use You Tube like we had hoped before. If that changes, I will update!

Thank you!

Tune into the 2026 TVL Basketball Tournament at Washington County! Games will start at 3:15. Below is the link to our YouTube page to watch in the secondary gym. Facebook live will be running in our primary gym ! Good luck to the area athletes!

Good luck to all the Tigers today, but a special shoutout and good luck to Tucker Huband who is in Salina today with the best High School Musicians in the state of Kansas. Today is his Senior tryout day, for the 1234 All state band. He along with about 150 other trumpets will audition to secure their spot in history. Tucker has been a standout musician for Washington County the past 4 years, and we wish him calm nerves, clear tone, and true clarity. Extra great thoughts appreciated at 10:45 for his audition.

Hello Tigers!!

I'm sending this newsletter early this week because it is full of TVL Basketball Information. Next week is going to be a crazy one, with lots of extra people in and out of the building. Please encourage healthy habits like drinking water, washing hands, and not sharing drinks to avoid spreading any illness.

Good luck to all of our teams competing next week! We've got way more than basketball going on so make sure to check it out.

Have a great weekend and week ahead.
