The August meeting of the West Liberty Salem Athletic Association is tonight at 6 PM in the elementary cafeteria.
Liaisons and interested community members should make every effort to attend. There will be lots of planning for the fall season and the Labor Day festival!
We are excited to spend August introducing you to new staff at WL-S! Today, we introduce Mr. Jakob Schaufelberger! Mr. Schaufleberger joins our Fine Arts Department teaching 3rd and 4th grade music, MS/HS Choir, Show Choir and Musical! Welcome to WL-S, Mr. Schaufelberger! We are excited to have you!
Hello WLS community! My name is Jakob Schaufelberger, and I am originally from Van Wert, OH. My music career started in high school where I sang in the VWHS choir, performed musicals Footloose and Titanic, and sang in the OMEA DIII honor choir and OMEA All State choir. I come from fairly well-rounded family with parents, grandparents, and siblings who nearly all have a history of music, sports, or both. I graduated from Wright State University in August of 2021 with my Bachelor’s in vocal music education. Since then, I taught choir at Ottawa-Glandorf High School as a long-term substitute, and substitute taught in the Beavercreek City School district. I am thrilled to be a part of the WL-S music program, and I look forward to being a part of the community!
The WLS spirit store is open until 8/12! Get your back to school gear and support our Tigers!

On the way home we will stop at Cedar Bog to explore this rich, diverse ecosystem that features ice-age remnants found nowhere else in Ohio. Our final stop will be Freshwater Farms where founder, Dr. Dave Smith, will share his expertise in the world of Aquaculture. Refreshments, featuring Freshwater Farms products will also be provided.
