15 Washington County High School students competed today in Junction City at the District auditions for Band and Choir spots. The Director failed at a group photo at 6am when leaving, but we did snag some happy faces at the end of the day, when we found out they could have ice cream!
Today also marked a new milestone for a Junior High Tiger. Reid Scheer earned a spot via recorded audition a month ago to participate in the NCKMEA Middle Level (junior high) choir. Reid was among almost 150 Junior high kids participating. They worked today with a former college professor from 8:15 this morning until 2:30 this afternoon. Putting on a concert that received a standing ovation from a packed concert hall. We are so proud of him for all his hard work.
Competing were: Seniors- Mackenzie Kuhaneck, Lesyle Martinez, Helena Larsen, Aviana Hertz, and Joselyn Sanchez.
Juniors: Tucker Hubband and Brianne Fincham
Sophmores: Kelly Annunziato, Allisson Cisneroz, Cayden Meadows, and Emma O'Rourke.
Freshman: Witt Keesecker, Adelyn Oakes, Zoe Sawin, and Charlie Yungeberg.
Washington County can be proud of the musicians for all their hard work and dedication. We will find out this week who made which groups. But no matter the outcome I am so thankful lol these students took the time to work and advance their music skills on this Saturday.
Kenzie Baker has finished up her high school career with a 20th place at state XC. She ran through the rain, mud, and yuck to earn the medal. Kenzie finishes as the most decorated XC runner for Washington County. In 6 years of running (junior high and high school) she has medaled in all but 2 meets she has competed in. Kenzie, thank you for your dedication, leadership, and positive representation of Washington County.
Thanks to the rest of the high school XC team, fans, and family that came out today and braved the weather! Once a tiger, Always a tiger!
A run we all will never forget! It's a rainy muddy mess here in Wamego State XC and the races will still go on. Kenzie runs at 12:00!
Tiger Designs thanks Kenzie Baker for letting them design and produce her shirt. It was a pleasure to design something for such a deserving, hard -working student athlete. We are rooting for you!
Due to forecasted weather, the State XC times have been adjusted a little. Kenzie Baker will be representing Washington County and running at 12:00 at the Wamego Golf Course tomorrow.

Parents of 7th grade boys: their homework tonight is to teach you the skills they learned today about sorting in spreadsheets and text to columns. It should be quick but it will help them remember the skill by teaching someone else & you will possibly learn something new.

The USD 108 physics students used their knowledge of kinematic equations and extensive brainstorming to develop a launcher lab procedure. Then they used calculations to predict how far the projectile would travel from 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees. Their predictions were extremely accurate. Well done, students!
