After performing the Star Spangled Banner at a home Varsity Girls' Basketball game, the first graders went viral on Twitter and Facebook, and caught the attention of Jerry Snodgrass at the OHSAA.
Mr. Snodgrass contacted Mrs. Nutter to see if the group would be interested in singing at a Boys' Championship game in Columbus...and of course we said yes!
Thirty-four students loaded a bus at 7:30 to head to Columbus for a 10:45 game. The students entered the arena in an entrance that allowed them to go straight on to the floor. The students were amazed by the Schottenstein Center, from an adult's perspective, their pure amazement may have been the best part of the day!
The students practiced several times before finding their seats.
When it was time for the game, they marched on to the court with confidence and sang with great enthusiasm and pride in front of thousands of people! After they performed, they took their seats and enjoyed the game. They also took a walking tour of the Schott.
The PTO supplied students with snacks for the way to Columbus, a parent treated them all with cotton candy, the school provided lunch and the OHSAA provided tickets for the students and staff attending.
This trip would not have possible without the preparation provided by Carrie Freshour, Tracy Frombaugh, Tonya Kimmel, Sean Weisenauer, Teresa Wenner, Dawn Schaaf and of course, the students' parents!
First grade students that participated in the event were: Left to Right: Back Row: Aaron Rabun, Addie Dunford, Brooke Frombaugh, Allyson Liming, Landon Miller, Trey Johnson, Korbin Wyss, Daniel Fleming, Braxton Leeper, Zayden Reinhart, Gavin Koehler, Shilese LaFrance Middle Row: Allie Bessinger, Evan Stacklin, Jesse Whitmeyer, Cali Weible, Daina Tate, Brooklyn Stauffer, Gwendolyn Collene, Gavin Cross-Tucker, Victoria Kelly, Evan Hedges Front Row: Maggie Ridge, Kylie Harer, Brooke Schieber, Braxton Hunt, Cali Holbrook, Maddison Keaton, Hayden Langenderfer, Willa Johnson, Caroline Sheldon, Alivia Ritzler, Eli Cooper, Brennen Westrick
I am conducting a simulation on presidents/presidential hopefuls in all of my classes. The main idea is to "answer" the question of how well presidents/hopefuls from different eras would do if they competed against each other in an election. I am using the format of the March Madness Bracket to conduct this simulation. Students will be required to complete this project in an effort to educate them about the presidency in a non-traditional manner.
I will be using the progression of the actual tournament to update the presidential bracket.
For example: George Washington is the #1 seed in the Midwest Region. His "success" throughout the tournament will depend on the school that is actually seeded #1 in that region.
The assignment is broken into 2 parts
Physical Bracket
Students will fill out the attached bracket of presidents/hopefuls, making predictions on how well each president/hopeful will progress throughout the tournament.
Accurately predicting the winner is not determined in the grade.
Written Portion
Students will label their Final Four picks on the “Written Portion”
3 facts are to be given for each Final Four pick demonstrating why that president/hopeful is worthy of becoming the “presidential champion”
The students will write one paragraph explaining who they picked as the “presidential champion” and why that person is worthy of beating every other president/hopeful in the tournament.
Students will update their bracket in real time during the actual tournament. A space on the back wall of the classroom will be used to monitor the progress.
In conclusion, the intent of the project is to have students familiarize themselves with our presidents other than a face and number.
The Wynford Royals and the Buckeye Central Bucks squared in their third meeting of the season in the sectional championship game. The Royals caged the Bucks by maintaining controlled of entire game, winning 67-58, for the sectional title.
Wynford played extremely well as a team to get the victory. Defensively the Royals frustrated the Bucks offense holding Grant Loy to only 10 points. A very aggressive defense forced Buckeye Central out of their game plan as they trailed most of the game. It was Jacob Shade's effort that kept the Bucks in the game leading all scores on the evening with 27 points.
Offensively for the Royals, they put four players in double figures. Alex Crall had a team high 16 points while Braxton Tea added 14, Jack Reed dropped 11, and Nate Sparks muscled in 10. Coach Jason Engel said, "A great team effort was the key to defeating the Bucks tonight."
The Royals improve to 15-9 and advance on to face the No.2 seed Mansfield St Peter's in the district semifinals at Willard High School with a game time of 8 p.m.
The Wynford student body voted on this years winter homecoming court. The Royals will host the Mohawk Warriors on Saturday, January 30th. Come out to support the Royals and find out who will be announced as queen during halftime of the junior varsity game. This years senior candidates from left to right are Jade Stuckman, Mallory Moore, and Katie Hoover. The remaining attendants are Tara Zinser (junior), MaKennah Allen (sophomore), and Kelsie Williams (freshman).
Last night the new members were inducted into the Wynford National Honor Society. An induction ceremony was held in the auditorium recognizing the accomplishments of these new members. Punch and cake were served following the ceremony.
The Wynford Royals ran into a tough Delta Panthers team in the first round of the state playoffs losing 21-15 and exiting the playoffs earlier than antipacting. Delta's 6-4 record was no indication of a weak team. The Panthers used a steady ground attack of B. Storeholder and J. Beverly which the Royals had difficulty controlling.
The Royals got out to an early lead on a 13 yard run by Zach Hoffman and two point conversion on a trick extra point play taking an 8-0. Wynford looked as if they were going to take an early 15-0 but a block in the back penalty negated the touchdown.
The Panthers got on the board just before halftime on a 6 yard run by Storeholder and the kick after was good bringing the score to 8-7 still in favor of the Royals. Delta put together two scoring drives during the second half both by Beverly giving the Panthers a 21-8 lead. Beverly's second score came after the Royals gave Delta a second chance on a face mask penalty on strong goal line stand.
Wynford would not give up. With roughly 8:00 left in the game, the Royals got good field position after the kick off and took the ball down the field and scored. Hoffman's 7 yard run brought the Royals to within seven at 21-15 with 6:49 left to play.
A strong defensive stand by the Royals gave them an opportunity to tie the game. With no time outs left and time ticking away, an interception ended the Royals playoff dreams. Wynford's season comes to an end with an impressive 9-2 record and another N10 championship.
