Our elementary STEM students are creating blindfolds for a cup stacking challenge this week. STEM is the study of science, technology, engineering and math while also incorporating computer skills. Coursework often allows students to work freely on challenges that get their creative juices flowing and introduce them to lifelong skills that carry over to many popular professions!

Twenty high school students attended, ‘Don’t Give Up’, a sign rally at the Champaign County Courthouse, on Friday afternoon. The students joined community members and students from neighboring high schools. Molly Smith, High School Counselor shared that students, who signed up for the event in the weeks prior, all mentioned that they felt pulled to be a part of such an important event and share the message. Mrs. Smith shared with faculty, “The event was meaningful for the 20 students that attended. It was inspiring to watch students take pride in what they were doing.” Thank you to each student who took time to remind someone to never give up!

Seniors of the Month are nominated and voted on by their teachers for being good citizens, active in school and their community, and trying their best academically. Keep up the great work, Ali and Logan! SENIOR OF THE MONTH Alisa Bolton West Liberty-Salem PARENTS: Wesley and Laura Bolton School Activities and Awards: Show Choir, Musical, Link Crew, Key Club, Spanish Club, Calculus Club, and Flags/Color Guard If I were principal for a day: If I were principal for a day, I would definitely just let it be a free day and everyone could hang out and have fun together. Favorite school memory: my favorite school memory is probably homecoming week and all the fun events that go on leading up to the game. People who have been an inspiration to me include: My parents ​Because: they have taught me to live life as the best version of myself and they provide good role models on a daily basis. Lately, I have been reading: The Shining by Stephen King My advice to parents: Check up on your kids; make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, but also make sure that they are okay, too. Let them know that you are there for them. Also, it’s okay to trust your kids. My biggest regret: I wish I would have joined more groups earlier in high school. Next year I will be: Next year I will be attending Wright State for a degree in secondary education. Advisor: Greg Johnson, MS/HS Principal SENIOR OF THE MONTH Logan Phillips SCHOOL: West Liberty-Salem PARENTS: John Phillips and Susan Yu School Activities and Awards: • Key Club • Soccer • Basketball • Track and Field • Link Crew • National Honor Society • Chess Club • Student Council • Calculus Club • 2 Years of Marching Band • Honda-OSU partnership Math Medal Award If I were principal for a day: I would discontinue all fourth period classes and replace them with a 50 minute nap time.

People who have been an inspiration to me include: • My parents • My grandparents • My brother, Hayden • My friends • My teammates • My coaches • Zac Brown and his Band, through their song “Chicken Fried” Because: These people are always there for me, especially when things seem to be at their worst. These people give me the strength to see the light at the end of the tunnel, they give me the strength to push through and push myself further than I ever thought possible. Because of these people I am where I am today, and for these people I am eternally grateful. Lately, I have been reading: Slaughter House Five My advice to parents: Teach your children how to be safe, responsible and respectful. But most importantly, teach them how to have fun, and let them have fun because that is what being a kid is all about. My biggest regret: Not keeping in touch with people, and sometimes not being completly considerate of other peoples circumstances and what is going on in their personal life. Next year I will be: A college student, working towards a degree in either electrical or mechanical engineering. Advisor: Greg Johnson, MS/HS Principals

Fifth graders in Mrs. Orahood’s class completed their first lab of the year, “Drops on a Nickel”. This lab challenges students to see how many drops of liquid can fit on the top of a nickel. It also teaches students to use the steps of the scientific method, make a hypothesis, and to make small consistent drops while working on their technique with a partner. Great job, 5th graders!
