October marks Manufacturing Month. We are a community rich in manufacturing opportunities, from production to engineering to accounting with much more in between, many local large corporations have a lot to offer our students and community.
Christina Flowers, the Business School Liaison for Champaign County, worked with Junior Achievement to create this convenient Manufacturing Guide. Our High School Counseling office also has many resources available to students interested in pursuing a career in manufacturing. If you have a student that would like to learn more, please refer them to the HS Counseling office.

The West Liberty Lions Club shared sensory floor tiles with our elementary library! The floor tiles are used at their annual Labor Day Festival as an inclusive sensory activity on Kid's Day! We are excited for our students to use them during library in the meantime! Thank you to the ever supportive Lions Club for thinking of us!
Hello Families, This is Kraig Hissong, Superintendent letting you know that we have lost power at the school due to loss of power at the AES substation. Our back up generator is working and we do have emergency power. We will NOT be doing an early dismissal. We will keep you informed with updates . The last estimate we have heard is that power should be restored in about an hour. We will proceed with a normal dismissal. All Practices and games are on as normal at this time except for Little Twirlers
Thank you,
Kraig hissong
Last weekend's college All-Ohio Classic, held at Cedarville University, was also host to a Tiger XC reunion! Chandler McCafferty, now running at Bluffton, Tate Yoder, running for Wilmington, Ashley Yoder, running at Mount Vernon, and Katelyn Stapleton, running at Ohio Wesleyan, competed against each other in the race, but competition was most certainly friendly! Way to go, Big Orange!
Mrs. Stayrook's class had a visit from Melvin this week! He's really making himself quite at home at his new "job" and making our students very excited along the way! Stay tuned as we share more of Melvin's good work!

What is your taste in books? 4th graders are learning about genres and exploring their interests in the ELA "book tasting" Cafe! Mystery, realistic fiction, biography, fantasy, poetry, informational, and historical fiction books were the genres “tasted”. Students recorded their favorite genres after selecting books, reading their book jackets, and can now select those genres read throughout the year! Pictured are Mrs. Kale and Mrs. Johnson's Fourth Grade ELA classes in the "cafe".
Boys golf at OHC today! Good luck!
Congratulations to our lady Tigers golf team! The team advanced to districts yesterday, which is a first in program history!⛳️

Over the last three days, our sixth graders have been discussing ideas in science that would help them build a container to house an egg for an egg drop! They first reviewed the ideas of force, gravity, inertia, and stress. Next, they came up with their own design for a container that would keep their egg from cracking. They were able to use one cup, one egg, one foot of tape, five cotton balls, four rubber bands, six toothpicks, and one sheet of paper. They built and tested their container for durability. Students were allowed to rework and rebuild as many times as they wanted after testing. We ended with a final build and went to the track for a series of egg drops. We did 4 drops from differing heights. The lowest was one meter high and our highest drop was from the top of the stadium bleachers onto the concrete! This is a project Mrs. Symmat’s young scientist do each year to kick off the unit "Skills of science," which touches on careers in science. The science careers they highlighted were Marine Biology, Inventors, and Engineering. The kids did a fantastic job becoming egg container engineers!
Congratulations to our lady Tiger golfers who received All-OHC recognition this fall! Olivia Reichardt was name 2nd team All-OHC, while Geneva Estep and Kennedy Wallace both received Honorable Mentions! Great work, ladies!
Physics students in Mrs. Roberts' class completed a lab this morning that reinforced their understanding of vectors. A vector, in physics, is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Most common examples of vectors are velocity, acceleration, force, and increasing and decreasing temperatures. Students went on a vector "treasure hunt" in our halls and then hid more vectors for the next classes to discover!
Congratulations to Londyn Loveless on reaching 1000 career assists during last night's game against Greenview. The Tigers won in four sets increasing their record to 7-3 overall.
