Looks like our fifth graders were determined!!! Great job, fifth graders!

The West Liberty- Salem Livestock Judging Team placed 4th in the State Livestock Judging Contest this year! Contestants Sophia Hardwick, Izabella Meister, Owen Barger and Shyanne McClintick will be traveling to Massachusetts in September to compete on the National level at the Big E National judging contest! The Big E is an annual event that begins on the second Friday after Labor Day and runs for 17 days. Eastern States Exposition is home to the Fair. Its governing body is a volunteer Board of Trustees consisting of distinguished civic, business and agricultural leaders from each of the six New England states. Essentially, it is a six-state-State Fair.
These top individuals have worked extremely hard this year to win this fortunate opportunity! Please wish our WLS FFA General Livestock Judging Team good luck this fall at the BIG E!

Our first graders have an exciting announcement! They have baby chicks! Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Yoder, Mrs. Spring and Mrs. Stayrook began studying life cycles last week. Part of that study included these sweet baby chicks that hatched right in their classroom! Students made observations about how long the eggs took to hatch, the difference between the eggs being in an incubator versus in their natural environment, and what the chicks will need to survive. Students will help feed and care for the chicks until they are ready to go Mrs. Spencer's family farm. What a sweet and fun spring lesson!
Today is National School Principal Appreciation Day when schools across the country will recognize the importance of principals, from elementary to high school, and all the work they do for the betterment of the school districts they serve. Greg Johnson, Andy McGill, and Aaron Hollar, our students, staff, and educators are lucky to have you! Throughout the year, Mr. Johnson, Mr. McGill, and Mr. Hollar make the commitment to lead our students to reach their full potential! They are dedicated to providing the high-quality learning environment that our community has come to know and expect! Thank you for all that you do!
