The high school show choir, Sound Check, will host their fall Show Case on November 11th & 12th, with three opportunities to watch them perform. Practices began over the summer, followed early morning practices this fall. They performed at both the Labor Day Festival and Heaven’s Dew Fall Festival, and currently, they are raising money for their program every Friday at school selling hot chocolate, coffee and donuts! Sound Check, directed by Mr. Jakob Schaufelberger, is pictured performing at Heaven’s Dew, Emma Kauffman and Alaina Irving selling their sweet treats, and artwork for their fundraiser by Isla Kerns. Keep up the great work, Sound Check!
West Liberty-Salem High School kicked off their first Fun Friday of the year! Once a month, the student body, teachers and administrators come together to enjoy some type of friendly competition, morale boosting, and fun! On Friday, students and educators signed up to play charades. It’s safe to say that Mr. Wolfe’s famous air guitar was the clear winner!
Congratulations to this week’s Educator of the Week, Mr. Morgan Sullivan!

Our third-fifth graders are learning or remembering how to navigate the library this week! Mrs. Perdue, elementary librarian, created a scavenger hunt that encourages students to learn how to use Dewey Decimal Classification, where to find fiction and non fiction books and how to use call numbers. They had a lot of fun exploring and learning about the library!

Mrs. Stayrook’s Snack Attack was a hit this week! Mrs. Stayrook’s first graders have been working hard the last couple of weeks learning all about their names. They’ve discussed how many letters, vowels, consonants and syllables are in their names. They are working hard to learn their friends’ names, too, and are doing some fun activities to reiterate the lessons. Yesterday, they had a special “Snack Attack”, to wrap up all they’ve learned. Students were asked to bring a snack that begins with the same letter as their name. Some of these can be challenging. A few of their favorites (which were kind of tricky) were…
Emma – Eggo Waffles
Kyla – Kit Kat
Tommy – tomatoes
Ike – Icee
Viola – Veggie Straws
We took pictures and compiled them into a class book to read throughout the year.
The students enjoyed seeing what their friends brought, and they loved showing off their special snack. Great job, first grade!
Ag Science students are carving pumpkins this week for Cedar Bog’s annual ‘Boo in the Bog’ event! The pumpkins will line the jack-o-lantern lit boardwalk this weekend, October 7th & 8th from 6:30-8:30 PM. WL-S students know how to serve our community!
