The Economy and School Finance Our State‘s flat economy is having a huge impact on
our school finance system. The projections are that our operating revenues could drop as
much as 7% for the upcoming year. This is on top of the many cuts that we have endured
over the past couple of years. I would like to point out to you that the Board has and continues to work very hard to preserve all the programs and offerings that we currently offer
at Washington County Schools. However, in our current budget scenario our staff does
take up over 80% of our operating budget in salaries and benefits on a yearly basis. 7% of
our operating budget would be as much as $220,000 to $250,000 that we will have less to
operate on next year. It is also important for people to understand that we still cannot
spend capital outlay funds for operational expenses. These funds are by design for facility
improvements and that is where they have been spent in the past and will continue to be
spent in the future. Please keep apprised of the ongoing saga of school finance in our state
as it will have a major impact on all public school entities across our state. The last thing I
would say on this is please continue to support your local board of education who have
some very difficult decisions ahead of them as we work through this process and I can assure you that they always try to do the best in providing for the children of our school district.
To close I‘ll leave you with a short story and a thought of mine that the spring is soon approaching. Please get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather and look forward to the
anticipation of the spring flowers that we all know are right around the corner.

It’s Only For A Little While—Not!
Of course, you recognize the letters ―QWERTYUIOP.‖ No? Think about your
keyboard. Correct—it‘s the sequence of the first row of letters. Because the
keyboard is a product of the machine age, you‘d assume its letters are arranged
to make typing easy. Well, you‘d be wrong.
Actually, the opposite is true. The first keyboards, which appeared in the 1800‘s,
had a different sequence. Typists were learning to type so fast that the original
machines would jam up. Until the machines could be made faster, the engineers
on the project rearranged the letters into an illogical sequence to slow the typists
down. However, by the time keyboards were made more responsive, everyone
had learned the new layout and didn‘t want to change back. It‘s a classic example of short-term thinking having long-term effects.

as he placed FIRST in the

Hillert placed THIRD.
Everyone did a great job in
representing the school and
placing so well in the contest.
Please remember to read to
your child each day and
remind them to continue
working hard on classroom
projects and homework until the end of school. When
the weather gets nice outside the students forget
about homework and want
to be outside enjoying the
weather. Also, during the
months of March and early
April students in grades 3,
4, 5 and 6 will participate in
the Kansas Assessment
tests. Please be sure that
they have a good breakfast
before coming to school and
get plenty of rest during the
testing period.
Thank you to the parents
that continue to pick up
your students at the west
doors on E Street. It is
much safer for everyone to
keep the area in the south
parking lot free of traffic
because of the students
walking home and the bus
traffic leaving at that time.
Also, thank you for stopping in the offices when
picking up students in each
of the buildings.
The school collects labels
year round from Campbell‘s soup products, Tyson
Food items and Box Tops
for Education. You can
send these items to the
school or drop them off in
the school office at anytime.
Through these programs we
are able to order or purchase
school supplies that the students use in the classroom
daily. Thank You! for your
time to send these items to
school with your children.
As the school year begins to
wind down, I want to remind parents to keep their
bills paid. The lunch account and for some students
at the elementary level that
participate in the extra
morning milk program these
accounts need to be kept
current. The School Reach
phone calling system will be
used to inform you if your
student‘s account has a
negative balance. Please
send money to school with
your student when necessary so other actions are not
needed. Thank you.
Junior High / High School News
Mr. Phil Wilson
The forensics season starts
now and will continue to the
end of the school year. Although basketball season is
winding down, music, forensics, FFA, and FBLA are
all very busy with regional
and state contests, competitions, and conferences.
We held Parent/Teacher
conferences on February
17th and 24th. I felt attendance was pretty good for a
spring conference. Teachers got to see several parents that they needed to see,
of course, they did not see
Page 2
some parents that they
would like to have seen. If
you feel you need to visit
with your child‘s teacher,
and you were not able to
attend, please set up an appointment.
We have been holding after
school study hall for students who have not completed their homework.
These study halls are held
on Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday, from 3:15 to
4:00 in the library. If your
student has been assigned to
this study hall we need your
support to be sure that they
get there. We cannot help
them with incomplete work
if they do not attend.
Track and golf practice for
the high school can start on
February 28. Our first track
meet will be on April 4. It
will be here in Washington.
Our first golf meet will be
our own invitational on
April 5. It will be held at
the Cedar Hills golf course.
The junior high will start
track practice on March 7.
We will begin our state assessment tests in March.
Please be sure that your
student is serious about
these tests. Although the
student is not graded on the
test, our school district is.
We need the support of both
the students and parents if
we are to be successful.
Spring break will be the
week of March 21 to March
25. The third nine weeks
grading period will end on
March 11.

The committee would like to thank everyone who helped make the annual soup supper a success.
Your food, time, and monetary donations were greatly appreciated. A special thank you goes to
Rose Ann Zach, Dawn Greenwood, and Janice Thompson and Terry Montague for their help in
the kitchen and cafeteria. Thank you to the 6th grade class, Mrs. Colgrove and Mrs. Dragastin
for selling many advance tickets as well as Mrs. Bruna and the ―In-House Training‖ class for
making the posters to advertise this event. We would also like to thank United Bank & Trust,
First National Bank, Signature Bank and Bob‘s Locker for their donations. Of course this event
wouldn‘t be a success without the generous help of the many volunteers who donated food and
helped during the soup supper. The money raised from this event will be used to fund scholarships and special projects for the students in our district. Thanks once again for your support!

Mrs. Teryl Goeckel
Seniors: March is one of the big scholarship months. Check the website. More scholarships are active each week. Also, watch your regular mail and email for financial aid, scholarship and housing
information. Be sure that you read and respond to correspondence from the school you plan on attending next year.
Juniors: Sign up by March 4th. for the April ACT Test. Juniors need to take the ACT Test now, if
they haven‘t already. Schedule a college/technical school visit. Just let me know the date that you
would like to go and programs that you would like to see. I will be happy to take care of it for you.
Sophomores: Make sure you have shared your PLAN Test results with your parents.
There are several leadership and career workshops available during the summer especially for sophomores and juniors. They
are usually sponsored by civic groups or colleges. If you are interested in attending a workshop or camp, please let me know.
Booster Club News
Mrs. Kelly Stamm
Booster Club really needs your support. Income has tapered off this year compared to recent years. This could be partly due
to the poor economy resulting in fewer memberships and less clothing purchased. It could be partly due to honoring requests to have more cash & carry on hand versus strictly taking orders for our clothing. Inventory takes away from cash
flow. Our checking account balance is down about $1,500 compared to the last two Februaries. You can help by browsing
the cash & carry stock currently sitting at City Hall. It will remain there until early March unless supplies are deleted
sooner. Everything cash & carry is currently marked 20% off. Orders are still welcome, but will be at full price.
There is enough cushion left to cover our annual $250 scholarships awarded to 6
graduating Seniors, but that leaves only about $1,200 extra available for helping
other groups for the remainder of the school year. That may sound like a lot, but
it goes fast. Typically each spring we assist After Prom party, state chorus competitors, golf, cheer squad, and drill team to name a few. In the summer months
we have given $50 assistance per student to national FBLA and FCCLA competitors. Other than clothing sales, we have no other source of income until next August when we may or may not host the Soap Scrimmage BBQ and hold our annual membership drive. It is very important that we liquidate the remaining cash
& carry inventory at City Hall to help ensure that there is enough cash flow to
help all of our student groups requesting aid through the remainder of this school
year as we‘ve been able to do in the past. Thank you.
The Parenting Class Preschool will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays
from April 7 to May 5. Each session will run from 11:30 a.m. to 12:10 p.m.
and will be held in the FACS room at Washington County High School. The
preschool is free to all 3-5 yr olds and will include math, science, language
arts, art, tactile and role play activities. Please call the school (325-2261 ext.

Elementary Music News
Mrs. Gay Lynn Manning
MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS MONTH
March is ―Music in Our Schools‖ month. The songs we keep singing, worksheets we keep producing, dance moves are starting to step in, and May Fete is being thought
about. I am trying to write the May Fete around the animal costumes that I have available to
use. If you have ANY animal creatures in your attic that perhaps you or a family member have
worn for Halloween, could we borrow them? It would be greatly appreciated. You can email
me at GManning@usd108.org or glmfive@hotmail.com or call and leave a message at school 325-2261 or send a note to
school with your child or call me at home 325-3235. But this is an URGENT MESSAGE, the sooner I know what
costumes I have…. The sooner I can put the program together and assign the parts to children who fit the costumes. I have
had several students volunteer small costumes (toddler) but I was really hoping to have some more adult (5th grade) size.
For example, a cow, a horse, a pig, an alligator, a bear, a beetle, a butterfly, a dog, a cat, a panda bear, a bird, a spider, a fish,
a hippo, a rhino, a gorilla, a skunk, a raccoon, a chipmunk…anything!! Thanks for your assistance…even if
you know someone and you would prefer I ask them, just give me a jingle. The 5th Grade May Pole winders will be wearing leopard vests that I already have made. They will need to be looking for a black T-shirt and khaki shorts. I am thinking, the kindergarten through 4th
grade students can wear shorts (any color) that coordinates with their animal shirt. It
can be anything like a t-shirt that says TIGERS or Bumblebee or maybe has an animal
picture on it. The ―CREATURE FEATURE‖ will be coming soon to a theater near

Mrs. Michele Mintzmyer
The preschool class and staff would like to send a big thank you to the PTO for many things. They donated craft supplies at
the beginning of the school year, purchased a language game called ―WH‖ Chipper Chat‖ to help the children improve answering questions, and sent Valentine balloons to each child in the preschool. We appreciate all you do for the school and for always including the preschoolers! Thank you, thank you, thank you……..
During the first week of Parent Teacher conferences 100% of parents attended. I enjoyed the chance to meet with everyone
and look forward to the next set of conferences this week.
The next Preschool Family Night is scheduled for Thursday, March 17th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM in the Washington East
Elementary Gym. This will be a joint effort with the USD 108 Parents As Teachers program. The theme for the night will be
―BlockFest‖. This fun and educational night will include five block stations where parents and children will explore block
play with six different types of blocks. Research shows that children can learn math concepts and begin math thinking at a
very young age. Blocks are a great way to promote math and science through hands-on exploration. Studies have found that
early introduction of math concepts and skills improve future understanding of complex ideas in mathematics. Children learn
through play and exploration. That is why the block experience is so helpful in learning concepts such as quantity, classifying,
estimating, measurement, etc. BlockFest will also increase social skills and language. The program is developed for children
ages 8 months to 8 years.
The next free Early Childhood Screening in Washington is scheduled for Monday, March 7 from 3:30 to 6:30 PM at the St.
Augustine Catholic Church, 410 B St. If your child is experience difficulty in any developmental areas or if you are interested in your child applying for the Peer Model program please call the Washington County Health Dept. @ 325-2600 to
make an appointment.

K i n d e rg a r t e n N e w s
Mrs. Sonja Frager
If you read through our February news you know we
had quite a check list to accomplish in a short month.
I am happy to report back
that we did accomplish all
of our objectives. We excitedly celebrated the 100th
day of school with 100th
Day activities only. We
found out that the groundhog did NOT see his
shadow. We loved learning
about Honest Abe, George
Washington—the father of
our country, and President
Obama. We enjoyed working with shapes in math.
We made great gains in becoming independent writers
by beginning a ten-minute
‗drop everything and write‘
time—the kids love this
block of time! We learned
and practiced strategies to
help us sound out unknown
words in our reading. And
of course—the big day—we
celebrated Valentine‘s Day.
What a fun day for the kids.
They especially loved sharing their cards and treats
with their classmates. A
gigantic THANK-YOU
goes to the PTO for giving
each kindergartener a Valentine balloon. They were
truly excited that they each
received one.
As March approaches we
look forward to Dr. Seuss
day when we will wear our
pajamas to school and read
all day (a personal favorite
day for Mrs. Frager)! Dr.
Seuss books are so great for
so many reasons:
they
rhyme, they are funny,
many teach lessons and
many are easy readers that
are just right for kindergarten students. Then we will
practice applying the letter
sounds and phonemic skills
to our reading and writing
lessons. This is such challenging work for kindergarteners. They have to
process so many steps, stay
focused when the work is
difficult, and continue to
improve each day. What do
you do each day that challenges you this much? I am
proud of each one of them
for their hard work and
know that they will see rewards in April and May
when they become more
and more independent readers and writers.
K i n d e rg a r t e n N e w s
Mrs. Diana Cecrle
Each month I try to think
about the interesting activities that we have done or are
going to do, but this month I
think I want to discuss the
―lock down‖ practice. No
matter where we are or what
we are doing we want our
children to be safe and in a
safe environment. Our discussions about the ―lock
down‖ and the possible rea-
sons for having a lock down
were scary for many children, and I hope that if your
child came home and mentioned it to you that you
took a good opportunity to
discuss ways to be safe both
at school and when they are
out and about with you.
When you are out shopping
or in a large area with a lot
of people, you and your
child may get separated. It may help for
them to know where a
service desk is located,
to know to locate people with identification
badges or certain uniforms that can generally be trustworthy, and
to know their personal
information such as full
name and parent‘s names,
phone number, and address.
March means so many
new things will be happening in the classroom. We
will kick off the month with
Dr. Seuss and begin sending
home books to read. We
will not only begin reading
more, but also writing more
sentences independently.
Our math lessons will begin
adding and subtracting. As
the weather begins to warm
up and make us think of
spring, we will begin
sprouting some seeds and
learning about what every
living thing needs to survive. We will learn about
tornadoes and being safe
during a tornado.
I would like to thank all the
parents for coming to conferences. At the writing of
this article I have only completed the first night, but I
have appreciated the concerns and information
gained from the confer-

First Grade News
Mrs. Tricia Gauby & Mrs. Sandra Kingston
The first graders have been
busy! We‘ve finished our
first reading workbook and
have moved on the the second workbook. The students are now taking home
a hardcover reading book.
We are reading the stories
in class. The students are
then sharing the stories with
you at home. The students
then take a comprehension
tests over the story. This
will help us monitor individual student comprehension. You may help your
child by discussing the story
homework with them.
Some questions to ask are:
Who are the characters?
Where does the story take
place? What is the problem
in the story? How is the
problem solved? What was
your favorite part of the
story? Reading with your
child is a special time for
your child and for you. Enjoy it! They are only this
age once.
Our language comparative
reports are posted! The
students worked long and
hard on these papers. They
went through the entire
writing process:
brainstorming, research, draft,
revise, proofread, and publish. We love to hear them
say, ―I want to write!‖
Our math studies will include timed tests. We will
work on adding 3-4 new
problems every week. The
quicker we can recall our
math facts, the faster and
easier the rest of our math
curriculum will be. Practice, practice, practice!
March is a time between
seasons. Some days will be
warm, and some will still be
cold. Please, be sure your
child is dressed for the predicted weather. We live in
Kansas and the weather can
change quickly from one
day to the next. We want
the students to be as comfortable as possible when
they are outside.
Second Grade News
Mrs. Mary Koss
The weather is warming up,
and it seems like the
groundhog correctly predicted an early spring. Here
in the second grade the students are enjoying the nice
weather along with learning
about dinosaurs in Reading;
simple machines in Science;
local, state, and national
government in Social Studies, and geometry in Math.
We had a fun Valentine‘s
Day by beginning our day
Page 8
with the delivery of valentines to our classmates‘ cute
and creative invention valentine boxes and ended the
day with good treats and
fun games.
Thanks to all who attended
conferences. Showing your
child that their education is
important to you encourages
them to work hard to do
their very best.
In the spirit of March, leprechauns, rainbows, and the FISH
philosophy, we share the following with you.
