Sportsmanship

Parents,

We, like many schools, continue to work on our sportsmanship at home events.  At a recent home game, actions and words from some people in our crowd were not appropriate and did not represent West Hancock in a positive way.  We really want all of our students and our community members to do their best to be positive and supportive at all of our events. 

Cheers that are mean spirited, harassing or directed at team members or fans of the opposition are not appropriate.  Harassment of the game officials is also not appropriate. We want our fans to focus on all of the positive things our teams are doing.  We have a lot to be proud of here at West Hancock and we do not want the actions of a few, to overshadow all of the great things that we have going for us!

 Athletic contests are fun, intense and competitive.  This is true for the participants and the spectators.  If we all act appropriately and respectfully we will have a great season.  Lets do our best to show everyone all of the great things about our school, teams, fans and community here at West Hancock!

Advisory Delivery December 7th

Mr. Peterson and Mr. Clark's advisory groups delivered paper products to the Britt Food bank. We continue this project each month.

It has been a nice activity for our advisory program.

Good Luck to Ed Dewall!

After sixteen years of keeping our school clean and running efficiently Ed Dewall is retiring.  Ed has done a great job as our night custodian and has been a valued employee.  Thank you to Ed for all of his years of service.  If you see Ed around town thank him and wish him well.  I know he is looking forward to retirement. 

Please welcome Jim Puffer as Ed's replacement.  Jim has gotten started and Ed has been able to show Jim the ropes.  If you see Jim around school welcome him and make him feel at home.

Over the years I have heard many comments about how clean our school is and how shiny our floors are.  Our custodians do a great job!  Thank you to all of them for their hard work!

Algebra II Project

Mrs. DeHarts Algebra II class participated in a very good project the last few days.  They had to use the math skills they were learning to create a presentation and market their idea to a panel of adults.  The students did a great job!  They dressed professionally, created great presentations and did a great job selling their product! Thank you to Mr. Kronemann, Mrs. Kudej and Mr. Doug Weiland who all helped out as committee members for the presentation!

These were the two groups from Wednesday.  There were six presentations over the course of three days.

This was a great example of real world relevance being used in the classroom!

District FCCLA Day

Some of our FCCLA students accompanied Mrs. Trulson to the district  meeting at GHV high school last week in Garner.  Rachel Francis was district Vice President from the previous year and helped plan the event. Alyssa Wood was elected Secretary/Treasurer.  The students did a variety of activities and listened to Britt High School alum Bob Steenlage speak about character and leadership.

Another speaker spoke about Hayden's law and how that was passed through legislature this year.

It was a very good day and the girls had a lot of fun.

School Spirit Bib Overalls

We ordered some new school spirit bib overalls that fans can wear for games or other times they want to show off their school spirit.  If you are interested in a pair please contact Mr. Peterson.

Go Eagles!

These students modeled the new bibs at school one day.

This is an interesting link.  Not every student will be going to college, and we do not expect all of them to.  Here are some very good reasons why high school is very important.
