Today was a great day for music. Today we had 4 students participate in the NCKMEA Middle Level Honor band and Honor choir event in Junction City. These 4 students had to try out in September to make this event. They sent in recordings, and impatiently waited for results. Honor choir members were Catlynn Hohner, Kinsley Anderson, and Spencer Kern. Honor band member Reid Scheer(who as a side note was selected for both!!) Also, happening today was our District tryouts for band, choir, and orchestra. 10 students got up extra early to travel to JC for those auditions. We will know those results in about a week, but I couldn't be more proud. Most of that group of ten had other commitments to get back to but sticking around for the entire day were: Lyle Milam, Macy Graff, Hayden Lohse, Charlie Yungeberg, and Anna L'Ecuyer. Not pictured but also trying out: Kelly Annunziato, Brianne Fincham, Tucker Huband, Witt Keesecker, and Zoe Sawin.

I am so proud of our FCCLA members! They had a great day at District D Fall Leadership Conference and represented USD 108 very professionally. Members built connections throughout the day in workshops, service activities, self-awareness, and through the keynote address that challenged students to be their best self everyday. Washington County presented and retired the colors, was recognized as a Spotlight chapter, supported the scholarship fund and the Nemaha Central Back Snack program. Allisson served as District VP of Power of One during the conference and rocked it!

Congratulations to the Nursery Landscape Team from Washington County placing as the 15th Place Team in the Nation this past week at Nationals! Individually, Tanner Baker led the scoring by placing as the 17th place Individual in the event, while Cayden Meadows, Makenna Elliott and William Svanda rounded out the team. After winning the state competition last spring, the team worked throughout the summer and weekends this fall in preparation for the national competition. In August, our team traveled to Manhattan, Kansas to tour and learn from professionals at the Blueville Nursery. Mr. Joseph Rundle, a Washington native who is the Nursery/Fields Operations Manager, as well as Mr. Keith Westervelt, CEO and President at Blueville, spent time with our team throughout the day and allowed us to work with their professional experts in a variety of key areas to learn more about the nursery and landscaping business. Thank you to Blueville Nursery, Mr. Keith Westervelt and Mr. Joseph Rundle for all of your help in getting us prepared for this competition!

Congratulations to the Washington County FFA Agronomy Team for finishing 2nd Place at the National FFA Convention this past week in Indianapolis, Indiana! Dawson Strunk led the individual scoring with a 705 placing 5th, Amber Kolle posted a score of 703 placing 6th, and Jonathan Wright scored a 700 landing in the 7th spot overall in the Nation. These three each received a Cash Award for placing in the top 10 nationally. Destyni Christenson placed 28th Individually in the Gold Division (Top 1/3). In the Team Event portion of the competition, Washington County posted the highest overall score out of all the teams competing this year. The team put in several hours studying throughout the summer and during weekends this fall in preparation. Spending a day in August working at Kansas State University with the Agronomy Professors was extremely helpful as well. Congratulations Agronomy Team!

The play is on the hunt for a sturdy, backless wooden bench—something like the one in this photo! It doesn’t have to be fancy (a little wear and tear - or a lot- is totally fine), but it does need to hold four people sitting on it.

If you have one we could borrow or use, please comment below or email Erin Toole at etool@usd108.org
. Thanks for helping bring our show to life!
