Juniors & Seniors,

On Friday, April 17  @ 9:00 we will have an Accident Simulation on campus. The simulation will be held on 16th St SW next to the baseball field. All Juniors and Seniors will be excused from class around 8:50 and asked to surround the accident on the west side of the baseball field. 

We will explain to the students the scenario and then call dispatch. This event will result in the Waverly Fire Department, Iowa State Patrol, Waverly Health Center, Covenant Air Care, Waverly Police Department,Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home, Bremer Co. Emergency services and local wrecker service to be called on site. 

This simulation is an opportunity for our local volunteers and response units to practice. It is also an emotional event for many who have been involved or know someone involved in an accident. We ask that all students do the following:

1. Come to the event with an open mind;

2. Provide the volunteers with space to work; 

3. Respect the emotions/feelings of tall involved.

We will land the helicopter on the baseball field. All students will need to stay clear of the helicopter. 

Following the event, we will have all Juniors/Seniors report to RADA to debrief with our local authorities. Students should walk in front of the school on 4th Ave and proceed to RADA.

If you wish to remove yourself from the simulation, please go to the main office. 

I want to thank Kevin Miller and all the volunteers who have made this a learning opportunity for all students. 

Thanks,

Mr. Langner

***Waverly-Shell Rock High School's Junior and Senior Prom will be held Saturday,  April 18, 2015 at the 

                                            Waverly-Shell Rock High School.                                                 This year's theme is "A Touch of Class."  ***

JUST A REMINDER! Tickets for Prom and the After Prom Bash are on sale only through THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 10th

and can be purchased in the High School office.

A separate ticket is required to attend both Prom and the After Prom Bash at the cost of $15 PER TICKET.

All Junior and Seniors of Waverly-Shell Rock High School along with their dates are invited to attend.

We invite all of our parents, relatives and friends of our community to share in this special evening and join us as our Juniors and Seniors along with their dates 'Walk the Red Carpet' at the Grand March beginning at 7:00 PM in the NEW GYMNASIUM.  PROM                                          There are no fundraisers held so we need this financial help in making this a night that our kids will always remember at W-SR!

If you would like to take pictures after the Grand March please meet your student in the BOCK GYM.

The dance will take place immediately following the Grand March (beginning approximately at 9pm) until midnight in the new gymnasium.

BECAUSE LAST YEAR WAS SUCH A SUCCESS WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AGAIN! We would like to have a dessert and appetizer table during the evening of the Prom. Because we rely from the sale of prom tickets as our means of income to host the Prom, sometimes that money is a little hard to stretch. Again, this year our prom committee has really been working extra hard! If you would be willing to help by making a *dessert* or *appetizer* please sign-up by emailing Chelsea McNally at chelsea.mcnally@wsr.k12.ia.us. Thank you! Please have your food item to the High School concession stand between 6 and 7pm the evening of Prom.  There will be someone there to help you.

BUSCH PHOTOGRAPHY will be taking pictures at the high school throughout the day of prom. Please have your student watch for an announcement about signing up for a time slot. I have attached the picture order form plus order forms will be available the week of Prom in the High School office. 

HELP NEEDED: We are looking for some parents that could help with clean up at the Middle School from After Prom. We would like your help for about an hour and a half starting at 3:00am. Please email Chelsea McNally at chelsea.mcnally@wsr.k12.ia.us if you can help!

HELP NEEDED: We are also looking for some parents that could help with clean up the High School. We would like your help for about an hour and a half starting at 7:00am. Please email Chelsea McNally at chelsea.mcnally@wsr.k12.ia.us if you can help!

If you have any questions please contact Chelsea McNally at chelsea.mcnally@wsr.k12.ia.us or Karma Poesch at karmapoesch@aol.com.

Thank you for helping us in making a night that they will always remember!

Hi,

April is National School Library Month, and the Student Library Advisory Board would like to encourage you to participate in the "No Screen, Just Read" Challenge during the week of April 13-17.  

General Information

The challenge will take place during 5th hour on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during the week of April 13-17, and teachers have the option of deciding whether or not their 5th period class will participate in the challenge.  If a teacher chooses to participate in the challenge, all students in his/her class must also participate.  The challenge was designed to promote free reading time, so participants must be allowed to choose their own reading material.  Please note that--per the challenge name--only print reading materials (books, newspapers, magazines, comic books, graphic novels, etc.) will be allowed.  

Earning Points

Participating classes will read 10 minutes each day, and the classroom teacher will be responsible for recording daily reading information on a Google Doc.  Five points will be awarded daily for each student who participates.  Ten points will be awarded daily for each teacher and/or associate who participates.  Bonus points can also be earned.  Five points can be earned for every minute of reading the class participates in beyond 10 minutes.  Ten bonus points will also be awarded for each student, teacher, and associate who complete a follow-up survey.

Prize

The winning class(es) will earn an ice cream party!

Preparing for the Challenge
