A special of recognition to Ben Stuckey, Kinsey Richmond, Daniel Blank & John Miller, faithful volunteers in our recycle collections. ◊ This year’s additions to our recycling collection on the school properties include more attractive and functionality of containers within our lunchrooms and the covers for barrels around the track. These containers and covers are provided by the Wyandot County Recycling Center and Solid Waste Management District. ◊ Also the district will be a party of the pilot project in collecting deodorant containers (stick, roll on, or gel but NO aerosol cans) through Funding Factory benefiting the high school science club. At this time the collection process has not began; we are awaiting information from Funding Factory regarding details of collection. ACADEMIC BOOSTERS Dana Rausch Welcome back to another great year! As the students and staff of the Wynford School District embark on another active school year, the Wynford Academic Boosters also begin another year of supporting the students of the district. The Academic Booster’s purpose is to recognize and encourage academic achievements, as well as strengthen the communication between school, home and community. Our organization’s mission and purpose have expanded over the last few years; however, our main focus is to recognize and reward academic success at every level of education in the Wynford Schools. The Academic Boosters willingly accept any help or participation individuals or businesses choose to provide. The brochure in this newsletter and on the Wynford website not only highlights our support of many academic programs, but also includes this year’s membership drive. Please consider helping us promote the success of our students! Go Royals!! Page 10 W Y NF OR D COM MU NITY NEWSLETT ER
