Teen Round Table
Several members of the WCHS student council met in their monthly Round-Table discussion Friday. This month’s topic; School Safety. Students sat down with CPPD Chief, Chad Pryce along with Officers Talia Adkins and Shari Mullins as well as interim principal, Duke Lines.
Chief Pryce asked students about their confidence level, when it comes to safety, as well as for suggestions they might have to make the school day even safer. Members of the council talked about concerns they have while riding buses, passing in the hallways and in the transition area. The officers expressed the importance of being safe in the parking lot as well by not speeding and obeying traffic rules.
Takeaways from today’s session might include putting together a larger coalition that is tasked with coming up with a list of safety concerns for future discussions. “It’s important for us to meet with students, they need to be heard”, says Chief Pryce. “These young people see things every day in the building that we would never see because we’re simply not everywhere like they are”. Pryce says they’re a valuable resource that builds the safety structure which includes staff, students, parents and police. Some students weren’t aware of the hundreds of surveillance cameras the district has which are monitored throughout the school day.

Eagle Scout Recognized by School Board!
Members of the Clark-Pleasant School Board recognized WCHS student, Logan Bast, Tuesday, for his Eagle Scout Project which benefits the school district. Logan, recently completed his project working with CPCSC Operations Director, Sam Arnes, who introduced him at the board meeting. The project was completed in the 8-acre wooded area between Sawmill Woods and Break-O-Day Elementary. Logan's troop and volunteers helped clear the trails by cutting and moving fallen trees and clearing overgrowth to create wider paths. Signs were also made to help identify some of the tree species found in the nature area. The classroom environment consisted of constructing new picnic style tables and benches all built by Logan’s troop, BSA Troop #615.
