Deputy J, our school resource officer, always spends the first few months of school getting to know our students and being a big part of our safety drills! Last week, he visited our elementary class rooms and read, ‘I’m Not Scared, I’m Prepared!’ This book gives great examples, in an easy to understand format, of how students can always be prepared and safe during the school day. Thanks, Deputy J!

Sixth grade science students hosted first graders in the annual introduction to the land lab this week. This annual trip occurs both in the fall and spring and allows students to make seasonal observations along with general exploration. The land lab has become popular with many classes in K-12. It is used for variety of reasons, but most importantly, discovery-based learning. First graders made scientific observations of patterns, size, shape, and colors. They observed spiderwebs, plants, and looked at the vegetation present in the Mad River Watershed. The sixth graders were responsible for creating and sharing this experience and did a fantastic job pointing out important discoveries and coaching them to draw conclusions about their observations.
Congratulations to our October Seniors of the Month! We are back in the swing of things and these students are working hard in the class room and in their respective fall sports! Keep up the great work, Kaylee LeVan and Nick Burden!

OHSAA Playoff football game ticket info:
Important information for High School football, cheerleader, and band parents; If you want to purchase tickets for Saturday nights game vs Mariemont here are instructions:
Ticket sales open up on Thursday (10/15) at 11:00 am: www.ohsaa.org/tickets
Click on “football”, click on “Division V Region 20”, Click on “Get Tickets”, under the WL-S/Mariemont game enter your personal ticket code to purchase your ticket. Ticket codes are being sent home with every football player, cheerleader, and band member TONIGHT (Wed night). That is your only way to purchase tickets. Each code is good for 2 tickets, so if only one person in your household is using the code, you may offer the other code to someone else- but it will max out at 2 purchases. No tickets will be sold at the gate, and OHSAA will not allow any general admission, so if you do not have a code to purchase a ticket online, unfortunately you will not be able to attend. This is OHSAA rules, not WL-S. If you do not plan to use your codes, please offer them to others so there are no codes wasted.
The game will be live streamed on our schools website.

What better way to test your elastic launcher than to take advantage of the perfect weather?! Our 8th grade science students have been learning about different types of potential energy this week. Their study concluded with a lab making elastic launchers to test the force and energy used at rest and with different stretch distances of rubber bands. They did a great job and learned from the different conclusions! Keep up the good work!
This week, we begin introducing our permanent subs, who joined us this year. Today, please help us welcome our staff spotlight, Coralea Collins! Coralea has subbed for us before, but as a permanent sub she will be with us daily and in many different capacities this year!
Mrs. Collins and her husband Brad have three children. Their son Tyler is Sophomore at Miami University. Their daughter Audrey is an 8th grader and Josh is in 3rd grade.
She grew up in Delaware County and went to Olentangy. Mrs. Collings graduated from Otterbein University in 2001 and received her Elementary Education degree. She began teaching in the Olentangy District and taught 2nd grade for 12 years. Then their family decided to become owners of a lodging business in Knox County in 2013. In 2019 they decided to slow life back down and found their forever home in the West Liberty-Salem area. She began subbing last year in the elementary. Mrs. Collins LOVES her permanent substitute position this year! Her favorite part is getting the chance to see all the kids in every grade and help out all the teachers and staff when they need it! “I love having a new adventure everyday!“
As a family, their hobbies include, watching their kids play sports, camping, beekeeping and movie nights at home.
Welcome Mrs. Collins!
The votes are in, and the middle school September students of the month have been released! Congratulations to the following students:
8th Grade: Teagon Boyd & Carson Instine
