Brayttan with the second chest he built this year, this time out of walnut. He did a fine job and I love the way walnut finishes naturally. Good job, Brayttan!
Kelly was a little shy for her project photo op so this is the best picture I have of her and her nice project. She built a modern-style nightstand and it turned out neat with the stained shelves and painted sides. Good job, Kelly!

The WCHS Track teams competed at home for the first time this year and performed extremely well! Lots of improvement, personal bests, and one school record broken again! The 4x400 relay broke their own record just set Friday during KU Relays today 4:08.97 ⚡️🐅⚡️
Another windy Spring day in Kansas must mean we have a track meet. The junior high kids performed very well. Most of the kids are really figuring out their events, some are still figuring out that there is a lot of technique in track and field events! Included is the link for complete results.
