The Madison-Champaign ESC hosted their 5th Annual Community STAR’s Recognition event late last week. For the past 5 years the ESC asks the schools within their region to nominate a student that idealizes ‘Servant Leadership’ as characterized by Serving Others, Teamwork, Attitude and Reliability. West Liberty-Salem selected two students to nominate for this year’s events. Seniors Tommi Payne and Carter Titus were nominated by Alycia Smith & Molly Smith (along with collaborative efforts with Tim Wolfe and Paul Waibel). The ESC reviews nominations and then selects and invites one student to attend the recognition ceremony. Carter Titus was selected by the ESC to attend this year’s event. Superintendent Kraig Hissong and High School Counselor Molly Smith accompanied Carter and his parents to the event. Students from each school who are selected to attend are asked to select a ‘Person of Impact’ to be recognized alongside them. Carter selected High School Counselor Molly Smith for her commitment to getting students involved in school and the community, believing in her students, and her positive attitude. Congratulations to both Tommi and Carter for their nominations and the excellent work they do in their school and community and to Molly Smith for inspiring students to make an impact.

Mrs. Fullenkamp's eighth grade science classes had some messy fun while studying the earth's interior! The mantle is a solid, but since it sometimes acts like a liquid, students used Oobleck to better understand how this happens. Hands on learning always makes the lesson stick, and in this case, quite literally!
