WCHS Band News!
Congratulations!!!
WCHS student, Jack Kelsay, will compete in the National FFA Creed Speaking Contest, this week. He presented his speech to the school board Monday night. The original FFA Creed was written in 1928 and outlines the FFA organization's values and beliefs regarding the industry of agriculture, FFA membership, citizenship, and patriotism. Jack will be judged on his oral presentation of the creed and his response to questions about the meaning of the creed.

Big Fall Break for the Marching Warriors.
On Oct 5th we hosted the ISSMA Scholastic Prelims/Open Invitational here at WCHS and hosted over 2500 student musicians and thousands of their supporters in the stands. The Marching Warriors competed in this contest and received a GOLD rating and special "With Distinction" awards in both Music and Visual.
On Oct 12th we competed in the ISSMA Regional competition at Center Grove. The band performed their best show of the year and in result was named an ISSMA Semi-State Finalist for the 9th year in a row!
Saturday, back at WCHS, where we hosted groups again for the Whiteland Marching Band Invitational. The band performed in exhibition at the end of the night, but again stepped up their performance to receive their highest score of the season!
I can not express how thankful we are for our students...but to host these VERY large events takes an amazing amount of dedicated and AMAZING parents. We absolutely could not do this without them and the countless hours of preparation and work it takes to make contests successful opportunities for not only our students to perform, but the thousands of other students from schools across the state to have a quality educational experience on our campus.
I also would like to thank our administration at both the corporation and building level as well as our Athletic Department, Transportation Department, and custodial staff for all of their work as well. Continuing to hold these events in the construction chaos that is our campus was a challenge. It most definitely took a village.

Thanks to our Whiteland FFA students and their sponsors for feeding our farmers!
Progressing!
Thanks to favorable weather, construction is proceeding on schedule at WCHS. Crews are preparing to begin excavating the new swimming pool. Currently, over 100 brick masons are on site erecting classroom walls.
COMMITTED! Ethan Edwards announced yesterday he will be continuing his academic and basketball career next year with the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds!
On Thursday, 5th-grade reading students, from Grassy Creek, attended the Mock Trial of the Big, Bad Wolf, presented by the seniors in Mrs. Holton's Government class at Whiteland High School. The students observed the trial and even participated in helping the jury decide who was guilty. Ultimately, Curly Pig was found guilty! After the trial, the seniors had a Q&A session with the fifth-grade students and also demonstrated a cool hand trick to help them remember the Bill of Rights.
Future Marcher Friday!
Our 8th grade band students went to WCHS to see the HS marching band perform their 2024 show “Black Orchid.” They had a blast learning about the marching band and meeting our HS band students! Good luck to the Marching Warriors at their ISSMA competition this weekend!
Have a Great Fall Break!

Pet Rocks or Pizza?
WCHS Econ students had some unique items for sale during Wednesday's annual Econ Mall. This assignment allows students to create their own small business, promote it, and then reap the profits or suffer the losses.
While some students went the more tried and true route selling soda, donuts, pizza, and pastries, others took a bolder direction selling things like s'mores, squeeze cheeks, and some very unique pet rocks.
The lesson teaches students about marketing, sales, and inventory, as well as other economic and business principles.

Senior Sunset!
They work while we sleep. Sometimes we walk around them in the halls, not always "seeing" them or their work as important. That's why we love this day—National Custodian Day, which rolls around every October 2. It recognizes the hard work it takes to keep our public facilities in tip-top shape, as well as the people who diligently work to ensure we have spotless and sanitary schools.
Custodians are our first line of defense in the war on germs, and often, it's a thankless task. So, on National Custodian Day, show your appreciation to the custodians who clean our schools. Custodians are the hardest-working people in the "show" business!
DON'T FORGET!!!
