Hello Families, this is Kraig Hissong, Superintendent. Due to current icy and slick roads and continued below 0 temperatures, WL-S will be closed for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28th. Stay warm and be safe!
😅❄️ Okay, okay… one more (because we had just a little too much fun with this while stuck inside yesterday)! ❄️
Mother Nature wins again! All evening events are canceled for today, January 27, including after-school practices.
Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the unexpected downtime, Tigers! 🧡🖤☕❄️
❄️ A Huge Thank You to Our Snow Heroes! ❄️
This weekend’s snowstorm kept many hard at work behind the scenes, and we want to extend a big THANK YOU to those who helped get our campus accessible and safe.
👏 Fran’s Mowing
👏 Dan Shover and Jim Smith from our West Liberty-Salem Maintenance Department
👏 Ohio Department of Transportation for their tireless efforts clearing and treating the roads
We are so grateful for the long hours, dedication, and teamwork that go into keeping our community moving, especially in tough winter conditions. Your work does not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate all you do for our students, staff, and families! 🧡🖤❄️

🍅🌱 From Garden to Table, First Grade Style! 🌱🍅
Back in October, first graders in Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Spencer’s class planted the seeds for something special, an indoor garden! Over the past few months, students carefully observed and cared for their tomato plant, watching it grow right before their eyes.
Last week, the excitement really picked up when it was time to harvest their very own cherry tomatoes, 🍅👏 and the fun didn’t stop there! With a little help from Mrs. Warrick, students turned their fresh tomatoes into a recipe and enjoyed a true garden-to-table experience.
Hands-on learning, teamwork, and a tasty reward is what growing curiosity looks like! 🌟🌿Great job, first grade!

❄️ Weather-Related Schedule Update ❄️
Due to weather-related cancellations and adjustments, we will be removing our previously posted Athletic Week at a Glance. We will rework the schedule and continue to share updates as changes are made.
Here are the current known changes at this time:
🏀 JH Boys Basketball will now host Burg on February 5
🏀 JH Girls Basketball will travel to Burg tomorrow, January 27
If that game is canceled, it may be rescheduled at Burg on January 28
🤼 Wrestling meet scheduled for Wednesday at North Union has been canceled, with no reschedule date at this time
Please continue to watch for updates as we work through weather impacts. Thank you for your patience and flexibility! 🧡🖤
🚗💨 Science in Motion! 💨🚗
Students in Mrs. Roberts’ Physical Science class put their problem-solving skills to the test using toy cars to explore motion in action! After timing how far their cars traveled, students used their data to calculate speed and analyze movement.
But they didn’t stop there! Students also evaluated displacement, helping them understand the difference between scalar and vector quantities. Learning physics with toy cars made concepts come to life and proved that science can be both educational and fun!
Way to roll, scientists! 🧡🖤🔬
🐝 Middle School Spelling Bee Recap 🐝
What an exciting spelling bee! After an impressive 23 rounds, sixth grader Ozzy Anders claimed the win with the word “whinnying.”
Congratulations to Kaizen Anders, who finished as the runner-up!
All 24 competitors represented their grade levels with confidence, focus, and determination, and we are so proud of each student for their hard work and accomplishments. Great job to all of our spellers! 🧡🖤📖
❄️ Weather Update ❄️
Today’s weather wins this round! All athletic contests and practices are canceled.
