This weekend WW students Maci Muchler, Abbigail Ferguson and Isaac Ferguson graduated from the Scott County Young Marine Program.
The Young Marine Program is a 13 week program where students enter as recruits and upon successful completion graduate as Privates.
During the 13 week program they learned various survival skills, completed various physical fitness testing as well as taking written test. They even had a weekend long encampment where they completed various “military like” skills.
Both of the Ferguson children received special awards and recognition. Isaac received the "IF Award", for continued persistence throughout the program.
Abbigail was awarded Honor Grad and got meritoriously promoted to Private First Class.
All 3 plan to continue as Privates in the Young Marine Program. They can complete tasks to move up in rank.

We always begin with an assembly to discuss the seriousness of these drills. Then have individual teachers discuss with their classrooms and answer questions. After the scenario drills we debrief with the students and the safety team spends the next few days evaluating our response.
Please take the time to discuss these drills with your children. Our goal is to be prepared without traumatizing our children. Our school is a safe place and we want it to remain that way.

It is with a heavy heart that I convey to our community the tragic loss of one of our students, Austin Newlin.
Austin was murdered in his home along with his mother and father, Kelly and Danny.
Austin would have been a freshmen next year at WWHS. The loss of Austin and the manner in which he passed is tragic beyond words.
Austin was a goofy 14 year old boy, much like many of our boys. He has been robbed his childhood and adulthood due to something senseless. I was proud to see Austin becoming more active in school, joining the football team and making more friends.
As a school and community we are heartbroken. Please pray for all of those grappling with this loss and the safety of our children in the future.
WWSC will offer grief counseling to anyone from our community that needs it. We will have counselors available on Thursday and Friday from 8:00 am - NOON in the high school. Please call us at 812-755-4872 to schedule a time or come in as needed.
A great group of teachers retiring from WW. We love you and we will miss you dearly!

#WWeGrow SENATOR PRIDE
This video starts at our award (21 minute mark), but the whole program represents what is great about schools, students, educators and communities that support them. It is worth a watch!
Thank you Varsity Brands.
PARENTS PLEASE READ-
We have been dealing with a number of problems from the After School App.
This App is NO WAY associated with WWSC. I ask that you please check your child's phone to see if they have this app and remove it immediately.
The App is problematic for several reasons:
1) It is anonymous, and despite the Apps claim that it is monitored and for positive sharing, the anonymity fosters an environment for cyber bullying, inappropriate images and explicit language.
2) When we become aware of a problem on the App and contact the App developers they assure us that they are monitoring and removing material. HOWEVER, we cannot get information about who is involved and the material can remain posted for days before being removed.
3) Despite the App's claim that it has a strict age verification and school verification, adults and younger kids can gain access posing as WW students. The verification is through Facebook and it is very easy to manipulate your age and school affiliation on your Facebook profile.
It is our goal to protect our children and we NEED your help! Discourage the use of this App and check your kids devices for it and other services that do not deter inappropriate activity and bullying.
This is a situation that despite our best efforts we have been unable to handle alone. Mr. Nance is pursuing legal recourse if we have any, but ultimately we need to stop this together because the legal route is lengthy.
Article with more details:

Please share with other parents because this is not just a WW problem.
