The robotics team is competing in qualification matches today and tomorrow in Cleveland. Below is their tentative schedule and the live stream link. An email will be sent out about two matches before they are up. They are team 9075 and have a taller robot. In short, the goal this season is to pick up orange rings and shoot them into a goal and then at the end of the game, lift your robot off of the ground on a chain.

One of our high school Spanish teachers, Alexis Blum will be presenting at the Central States Languages for All Regional Conference on Saturday, March 16th, representing Ohio and the Ohio Foreign Language Association. Her session, "Let Me Try!" was voted by fellow OFLA members as the "Best of Ohio" at the conference held this past summer. Alexis will present on instructional activities, methods, and assessment of upper level language learners (levels 3, 4, and beyond).
We are proud of Alexis and all of our outstanding staff members at WCS!

As you are aware, a Solar Eclipse will be taking place on April 8 this year. We are expecting a great deal of visitors and traffic in Wapakoneta, and the surrounding area.
The path of the eclipse passes over our community in the early afternoon near our dismissal time. Due to this we will not be having school that day. Our teachers will be planning learning activities that involve the eclipse and will share these with our young people as the date approaches.
Our goal is for the kids to experience the eclipse, provide fun/meaningful learning activities, and to keep them at home and away from the congestion.
The district has been in communication with other school districts and the local agencies to make sure we are all on the same page when it comes to planning for April 8.
If you have questions please reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Aaron Rex
