The annual WASD Elementary track meet was held Monday at Buchanan Auto Stadium. Every year, NHS members volunteer to do registration, field events, track events, announcing, data entry, ribbon writing, and concessions. There was an overwhelming volunteer response, with a total of 77 NHS members volunteering (on their day off from school)!

Mr. Herb's CareerTech biology class simulated the work of an apple company during their lab last week. Learners practiced their scientific method skills by testing different substances (vegetable oil, vinegar, water, lemon juice, and different processes) to see which would keep apples from browning.
Learners in Mrs. Kelley's honors biology classes completed a bubble lab using different types of solutions. This lab reinforced their skills using the scientific method!
WASHS yearbook sales are now underway!
