We have a great group of freshman joining our FFA program this year, but with a new school year our families are hit with FFA Chapter fees and school fees, and an additional FFA jacket fee. Each year Beck's Seed supports members by offering scholarships for jackets. Each of the FFA students will be applying for a scholarship, but here is how our community can help! If you would like to NOMINATE a student for a free jacket you may do so at the link below. It will take you about 6 minutes, that's it! You can remain anonymous, if so choose, but I am sure the students would love to know who was thinking of them!

Hello WL-S Families,
Yesterday two automated emails were sent out regarding a positive COVID case in our school district. The purpose of these form emails is to provide the school community general awareness that we had a positive case. It is NOT intended to alarm families, only to inform. The emails sent yesterday shared the following; (1) that we had a positive COVID case, (2) continued best practices that help to contain the spread of COVID, and (3) The Health Department has directly contacted any student that is considered a close contact and needs to quarantine. If you are not contacted by the health department, then your child is not considered a close contact. We will likely have many more of these emails sent out this school year. Don't Panic! COVID is among us all the time. That is why we have in place masks and cleaning procedures to limit the spread. We should use these moments to remind us to be diligent in our efforts to protect ourselves and others from COVID. Please remember, your child can continue to come to school if they are symptom free and healthy unless they have been contacted by the Health Department.
Thank you,
Kraig Hissong
Superintendent

Our homecoming court, and their escorts, were treated to dinner catered by The Half Day Cafe last evening. The kick off to this weekend’s homecoming festivities is a new tradition, and the court had a blast being celebrated! Tonight, the Tigers will take on the Northeastern Jets in the Homecoming game at 7pm, at Tiger stadium. Go Tigers!
Please help us welcome another new staff member, and this week’s staff spotlight, Emily Ridgeway. Emily joins us as our EMIS Coordinator & ProgressBook Administrator. Emily previously helped the same position for Mechanicsburg EVSD for the last 3 years.
Emily graduated from WL-S in 2003 and resides on her family farm in West Liberty. You may all remember her mom, Mrs. Crabtree, former WL-S EMIS Coordinator. Emily thinks they may be the only Mother-Daughter EMIS team to ever exist (haha!). Emily is married to Brian Ridgeway who serves at the Golf Course Superintendent of Darby Creek Golf Course. They married in Colorado, where they lived for many years, 12 years ago this December.
Emily and Brian have 2 sons. Sam is a 2nd grade at WL-S, age 8, Mrs. Bell’s class, loves being a Tigerand
playing on the WL Youth Soccer Team. Loves all things Marvel, Minecraft, science experiments, animals,
and spending time outside. Howard, 11 months old (future Tiger), is attempting to learn to walk, makes
frog sounds, and is their little comedian! They also have 1 elderly Rat Terrier named Stinky, who will be
16 on Halloween. He likes to sleeps all day and begs for snacks!!
Emily has some really fun interests that include being obsessed with her two sweet bears, Sam & Howie; embracing being a boy mom even though I don’t have an athletic bone in my body. Lover of all things fall & winter, cold brew coffee fanatic, Etsy over-spender, perhaps greatest fan of Golden Girls, enjoy interior decorating & homemaking, loves tulips, HUGE Johnny Cash fan (“I sing many of his songs as lullabies to my boys.”), premature Christmas decorator (“usually put up my tree on Veterans Day”).
Welcome, Emily! We hope you feel right at home at WL-S!!
