🧡🐾 Help Us Kick Off “The Tiger Table” Food Drive! 🐾🧡
The West Liberty-Salem High School Cheer Team is launching a community food drive to help stock The Tiger Table — a 24/7 cabinet pantry that will serve our neighbors right here in the Village.
We’re collecting non-perishable food items and hygiene products to help ensure every Tiger has a seat at the table. 🧺
Drop donations off at the HS or MS entrances or inside Central Office a starting Monday, November 3rd. Our West Liberty Subway location and Theresa's Gingerbread house will also begin accepting donations next week as community drop off points!
💛 Together, we can minimize hunger and maximize hope!

🧡🖤Food Assistance: A Reminder for Our West Liberty-Salem Families and Community 🖤🧡
As we anticipate potential changes in SNAP benefit processing, we want to highlight our local food pantry resources so that everyone in our community can stay supported. Hunger should never be a barrier to learning—or thriving.
📍 Local Food Support Available:
Check out the trusted services of the Second Harvest Food Bank and United Way, which partner with more than 60 distribution sites across Clark, Champaign, and Logan counties. Their programs include mobile pantries, drive-thru locations, senior packages, and an “Order Ahead / Food Locker” pickup system.
https://www.theshfb.org/findfood
https://www.uwlogan.org/logan-county-food-pantries
• Pantries are open daily in and around our counties
Pantry and 'Order Ahead' services are available in West Liberty, Urbana, Bellefontaine, Quincy/DeGraff, Springfield, Lakeview, Rushylvannia, etc.
🔔 Why this matters now:
If SNAP benefits are delayed or impacted, having alternate food-access options becomes especially important. We encourage families encountering uncertainty to explore these services proactively.
✅ No need to wait—reach out now to understand how you can plug in.
✅ Anyone experiencing a recent drop in income or benefits may also qualify for free or reduced-price school meals (breakfast & lunch)—please contact our district’s nutrition services for assistance.
We are committed to ensuring every student is nourished, ready, and able to learn. If you need help finding the right pantry or applying for meal assistance, please contact our office at 937-465-1140—we are here for you.
Together, we keep our community strong.

💍💒 A Wedding to Remember in First Grade! 💒💍
It’s not every day you get to attend a wedding at school… but last week our first graders celebrated the marriage of Q and U! 👰🤵💞
And who better to play the happy couple than our very own Mr. and Mrs. Hollar! The ceremony was filled with giggles and grins as students watched their principal and teacher tie the knot — complete with vows full of “Qu” words like quick, quiet, and quality! 💐
From the walk down the aisle to the laughter that followed, this annual tradition helps our young readers remember that Q and U always stick together — and gives everyone a “qu”-ite fun memory! 💌✨

Good afternoon, West Liberty-Salem Families,
Tomorrow, during the school day, our staff and students will be participating in their annual window egress fire drill. We conduct this safety drill to practice alternative egress in the event of a fire and to ensure our students understand how to utilize the emergency egress windows in their classrooms. If you are on campus tomorrow, you may notice students exiting the building using the egress windows. it is due to the drill practice.
Thank you,
Kraig Hissong

🏃♂️ STATE BOUND! 🏆
The West Liberty-Salem Boys Cross Country Team delivered an incredible performance today at the Regional Championships in Troy, earning a 3rd place team finish and punching their ticket to the State Meet! 🧡🖤
The Tigers finished with 86 points, just behind Oakwood (85) and Cincinnati CHCA (75) in one of the most competitive races of the season. Their grit, consistency, and teamwork shone through from start to finish — proving once again that hard work pays off.
Congratulations to our runners and coaches on another outstanding accomplishment!
We’re so proud of your dedication and can’t wait to cheer you on at STATE! 🐅🔥
