Summer Pottery Painting Camp?
Whiteland FFA recently had 8 FFA members compete in the Indiana FFA State Proficiency Competition. Proficiencies are record books based on student's Supervised Agricultural Experience work-based learning programs. Students record hours worked, skills learned, and create goals to improve their experience each year and are judged against members with programs in similar content areas. These are extensive record books that take the entire year to complete and are a minimum of 20 pages.
I am pleased to announce Whiteland FFA has 2 State Proficiency Winners this year, qualifying for the National competition! We also had 4 students earn a Top 4 ranking. These students will all be recognized for their achievements at the Indiana FFA State Convention this summer.
Jackson Brown - State Winner/National Qualifier - Goat Production
Jack Kelsay - State Winner/National Qualifier - Diversified Agriculture
Jack Kelsay - State Runner Up - Outdoor Recreation
Madeline Armstrong - State 3rd Place - Diversified Livestock
Lillian Nick - State 4th Place - Agriscience Research Plant Systems
Ollie Taylor - State 4th Place Vegetable Production
Thank you for your continued support of Whiteland FFA!

Why it's celebrated: This day is an opportunity to recognize the crucial work of school bus drivers in safely transporting students to and from school.

"A very special thank you to each and every bus driver for Clark-Pleasant Community Schools! Your adherence to safe driving practices, bus safety routines, and caring for the students who ride your bus is so appreciated! We absolutely have the best drivers!".

A Night of One Acts!
We are excited to invite you to our highly anticipated spring production on May 2nd at 7 PM in the WCHS cafeteria.
Due to ongoing construction that has forced us to cancel our traditional spring musical, we are thrilled to present a remarkable alternative: "A Night of One Acts."
I am honored to direct "Whispers," a drama about the significance of community during the grieving process, written by Kendra Thomas and performed by our talented Theatre Arts classes. We are also pleased to announce that this event will mark Craig Patterson's directorial debut at WCHS with "Fortunes Read $1," a comedy about a quirky fortune teller, written by Kamron Klitgaard and performed by our gifted Theatre Club.
This unique event promises to be an evening full of captivating entertainment that you won’t want to miss. As a token of our appreciation for your support, we are happy to offer complimentary entry to all staff members. We look forward to celebrating the arts with you!
