Hello WL-S Families, Cold and flu season are upon us! We want to remind parents that if your child has a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, vomiting/nausea or other symptoms and does not feel well, we encourage you to keep your child home. If your child has a fever, they should not return to the school until 24 hours after the fever breaks. Our CHWP School-Based Health Clinic is also available to families if you wish for your child to be seen by Jen Douthwaite, our Nurse Practitioner. Thank you, Kraig Hissong

West Liberty-Salem and Triad High Schools presented a $2000 check to the Blessing Bags board during half time of last night’s game. Over the last two weeks, high school students and staff have joined Burg and Triad to contribute more than $4000 to the program. It was nice to join our neighboring county schools and positively impact a program that serves so many of our students experiencing hunger. We will continue to accept donations indefinitely so that Blessing Bags can continue serving our schools!
Any 4th-6th grade boy or girl interested in playing basketball, or any student In k-5th interested in Little Dribblers, can now register online at https://westlibertybasketball.demosphere-secure.com/_registration.
Registration is open and is online only for both Little Dribblers and youth basketball this year. Little Dribblers is coordinated by Kim Hollar and Youth Basketball by the West Liberty Youth Basketball Association.
We look forward to another great year of developing our young athletes! Go Tigers!
The Tigers are at Triad tonight in their regular season finale. There is an opportunity to support the county wide Blessing Bag program by purchasing from the attached drink menu at the Cardinal Concession stands, but if you can’t make it to the game you can catch it on livestream at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ED2qJryREks&feature=youtu.be

Students in Mrs. Mazza’s 7th grade Enrichment/Intervention classes are traveling around the world! Last month, they began organizing “suitcases” they will fill with discoveries they make while studying cultures around the world. The suitcases contain their passport where they will record the countries they visit, plane or train tickets for travel within the country, and souvenirs they select that represent important details about the country’s culture.
Mrs. Mazza shared, “ The point is to get them to learn a little something about other countries and to also have a traveling mindset in terms of preparing a passport, purchasing travel tickets (plane, train, boat) and looking for attractions while in these countries. I can’t wait to compare these with what the students will have finished at the end of the year!”
We can’t wait to see “All of the places they will go!”
It’s Gold Card Friday (on a Thursday because NO SCHOOL TOMORROW)!
