Layla built a nice, modern-style oak desk that will be used for years to come. Good job, Layla!
The Ruby Reds have started summer practices & got an extra day of waking up early to help serve breakfast for the Bike Across Kansas participants. It was fun to hear where everyone was riding from & help them feel welcomed to our town. Next week we head to UCA camp! #rubyreds108
Tomorrow is our football fundraising Youth Football Camp. Bring your child out for some fun and sun.
The past two days, we have had 85 students attend weight sessions!!!!! That is a big number considering some athletes had fundraising events this morning. I am so proud of all the student-athletes who put in the work every morning before dawn.

Our marching band is now going to have updated uniforms for the coming year. A huge thank you to Madi and Zoe for boxing and labeling everything. And an even bigger thank you to Joel Naegele of Wichita SouthEast for helping us to acquire 150 new pants, hats and plumes. Big changes for our big little band! I can't wait to show them off.
What do kids do after working out hard in the morning? They go to camps like these, young ladies, and keep working.
Jackie Stiles Camp Update: We did NOT reach the minimum cut of number of 40 athletes per session. Because of this, Jackie Stiles has recommended that all students/athletes that filled the form out will attend one session from 1:00pm-4:00pm Monday, June 16th in the HS Gym. There will only be one session for all grades 2nd-12th. Jackie has done this before in other districts and is not hesitant with this recommendation. See you all on Monday, June 16th @ 1:00pm!
Great day in the weight room. We had 46 student-athletes come out and put in the work. Workout included Sprints, core, and weights.
State FFA Band participants this year from WCHS were Zoe Sawin and Cayden Meadows. Congratulations Zoe and Cayden and thank you to Mrs. Abi Sawin for taking them to be a part of this! Great job everyone!
