Sera built a nice children's desk for her little sister. She made this out of some hackberry lumber we milled last year. Hackberry stained naturally is attractive, but it also looks nice stained, like what Sera did with her desk. Good job, Sera!
Carter built a neat European deer mount using walnut and cedar. These are a great way to display the trophy from your successful hunt. Good job, Carter!
Eli built a neat chess/checkerboard out of oak and walnut. He lined up the squares really well. Good job, Eli!

If you want to get 4th graders to slow down and inspect their donuts before eating them, tell them they might be filled with something yucky! Let them nibble and inspect and then tell them "April Fools". They are all normal! This was Mrs. Baker's trick today to her class.
Come Join us at WCHS
The high school track team has added 3 jv meets to the schedule. The first is April 10th at Wakefield, the second is April 28th at Clay Center and the third is May 7th at Valley Heights. Coach will communicate with athletes which meets they will be attending.
A huge shoutout to PTO officers Schanah Miller and Staci Peters for providing tonight's meal for staff working Parent-Teacher Conferences. It was delicious!
Prom is getting closer!
Coaches are so proud of our junior high athletes. For more than 1/2 of our team today was their first "real" meet. Everyone adjusted well, competed hard, and learned a lot. Many athletes were able to prove to themselves they COULD do these events! They all have marks and times now, so our next goal is to keep working hard so we can improve those marks and times. Official results are linked:

Words simply can't say how grateful that we are to have such an outstanding FFA Alumni Program and such an outstanding community of supporters. With over 250 people in attendance, the 2026 WCHS FFA Alumni and Supporters Annual Meeting and Auction was a tremendous success. So many businesses and individuals donated and purchases items, which generated funds for the FFA Alumni program to use to help send our students to leadership conferences and conventions, competitive events, community service projects, provide scholarships, SAE Grants to help them start their businesses, and by provided equipment and materials for the classroom and agricultural education department. Thank you to the WCHS FFA Alumni and to our parents and community members and local businesses for all of your outstanding support of the Washington County FFA Chapter! We simply could not do all that we are able to do, without ALL of you!!!
The WCHS FFA Livestock Team started out with a bang last week at the Smith Center FFA Invitational Livestock Competition, and finished as the first place team in the overall Senior Division of the event!! With over 200 high school students participating in the entire competition, Rowley Keesecker led the way by placing as the first high individual overall in the senior division, with Lucas Thompson right behind her in second place. Several of the WCHS FFA crew scored extremely well to help secure the overall top spot in the event. In the Greenhand division, Carter Cole placed 8th Individually in his first livestock contest this year! We had 19 students attend the event. We had a great day learning more about livestock and we appreciate the Smith Center FFA and their community supporters for hosting this event and allowing our chapter members to be a part of it!!!
