🐯Our 3rd-6th grade Little Tiger Volleyball players have been working hard since mid-August, building their skills, strengthening their fundamentals, and preparing for their end-of-season tournament this weekend! Along the way, they’ve also enjoyed making memories at the Homecoming Parade and celebrating Youth Night!
Our high school volleyball teams have been involved with helping our youth program since August! Not only have they help with practices, but they also stepped up a few weekends ago to help run our youth volleyball event, where we welcomed 22 other youth teams from surrounding schools! Their leadership, dedication, and willingness to give back to the next generation of Tigers show what it truly means to be part of our Tiger family!
🐯🏐 The Future of Tiger Volleyball is BRIGHT!

🌉 DESIGN. BUILD. TEST. 🛠️
Our students recently put their engineering and problem-solving skills to work at the Champaign County Design Challenge!
Working in teams, students were tasked with designing and building a bridge using materials provided by local businesses. They had just one day to complete their build while considering real-world factors including strength, weight, material costs, and overall design.
Students also had the opportunity to work alongside Andy Hoover, an engineer from Honda, who provided guidance and shared his expertise throughout the challenge. Experiences like this give students a great opportunity to collaborate, think creatively, solve problems and learn more about careers in engineering and manufacturing.
West Liberty-Salem was represented by two teams featuring:
Casey Boyer • James Brehm • James Brooks • Zachary Cordell • Daniel Erne • Eli Gilley • Eric Hoover • Gauge Lee • Ezekiel Longshore • Robert Park • Drew Piacentino • David Roberts • Jude Roberts • Ashlyn Taylor • Josiah Thoman
We’re proud of our Tigers for taking on the challenge and grateful to the local businesses and professionals who make hands-on learning experiences like this possible! 🧡🖤🐯

➕📚 Math meets the real world in 7th grade!
Our 7th grade math students in Mrs. Mazza's class have been having some fun putting their skills to work! Last week, they researched items to buy and sell while creating their own resale businesses, and this week they’re learning how to calculate tax and tip.
Students used menus from our neighbors at Mad River Farm Market to calculate the tax and tip for different meal orders, and may have planned their next meal in the process! 😊
A big THANK YOU to Mad River Farm Market for always being such a wonderful neighbor and supporter of our students and school. We’re grateful to have local businesses like you right next door! 🧡🖤
Real-world math + great community partners = a pretty great lesson!
