Principal’s Newsletter
So-called “Senior Skip Day” – Not sanctioned by the school!
Senior skip day is not sanctioned by the school and will be treated as an
unexcused absence As is the usual consequence for an unexcused absence,
a “0” grade is given in every class missed, which may result in the lowering of the student’s grade for the quarter
Senior Pranks – Not sanctioned by the school!
Although students feel “senior pranks” are a rite of passage, they are not; therefore, these “pranks” will not be tolerated To be clear, any form of a
“prank” will be met with the same consequences as the action would if it had occurred on any normal school day, and consequences will be issued on a case by case basis While no one wants students to receive disciplinary
measures, our job is to ensure our students are safe and that education can occur Again, behavior should be the same as it would on a normal school day

appreciate all your support I can only hope that our joy blossoms forth like a
flower in the spring, and we have a great end of the school year

Wyoming Latin Club Goes to
Ohio Junior Classical League Convention
In February, a total of thirty-eight Latin students from the high school and
middle school, accompanied by Latin teachers Todd Wegenhart and
Maddie Briner, went to Columbus to join over 600 other students,
sponsors and chaperones from around Ohio for a weekend of contests,
competitions, games, learning, spirit, and fellowship at the 66th Ohio
Junior Classical League Convention
The combined efforts of all of our students enabled Wyoming to finish in
5th place overall in the OJCL, Wyoming’s highest place ever in over 20
years of attending the OJCL Convention! All of the credit for this success
is due to the dedication, determination, and engagement of our students as
they prepared their graphic arts submissions, memorized scripts and
speeches, and studied for tests Highlights of our weekend include:
Club Skit, written and performed entirely by a team of Middle
School students was judged 1 st in the state;
Club Banner, chaired by seniors Erin Broderick, Ruby Napora, Lucy
Walton, and Katie Zackerman, received a Superior ranking;
Club Commercial, chaired by senior Lucy Walton and junior Sophie
Walton, received an Excellent ranking;
A first place individual awards were earned by senior Erin
Broderick (Mixed Media and Traditional Photography), 8 th grader
Chloe Constantinides (Woodworking), Aiden Jones (Pentathlon
Exam) Kamaryn Madry (Games), Anna Seyerle (Jewelry and Poetry),
Lucy Walton (Constructed Maps), and Gie Wilson (Derivatives
Exam);
Best in Show awards were given to Dagny McCullumsmith for her
submission in the mosaics contest (this is Dagny’s second
consecutive Best in Show for a mosaic) and to Nate Kreimer for his
model of a Roman ballista;
8 th grader Chloe Constantinides earned 8 th place in individual
graphic arts sweepstakes points from her seven projects that
placed.
We also want to say how proud we are of Gwyneth Fletcher: Gwyneth ran
for the office of OJCL Parliamentarian for the upcoming year, and
campaigned incredibly well Unfortunately, the election came out in an
exact tie, so the office will be filled by appointment of the other elected
officers Gwyneth is planning on applying for the appointment and we
are confident that she’ll be successful Her energy, decorum, and
professionalism through the campaign represented herself and Wyoming
incredibly well, and we here definitely feel like she is the best woman for
this job
Our accomplishments overall would not have been possible without the
hard work and energy of all the students that participated and gave up
hours of their time in planning and making projects Participating this
year from the High School were seniors Erin Broderick, Arthur Cilley,
Ruby Napora, Lucy Walton, and Katie Zackerman; juniors Daphne
Constantinides, Gwyneth Fletcher, Isabelle Jones; sophomores Jeffrey
Bonner, Lauren Longman, Dagny McCullumsmith, Sarah Woodruff; and
freshman Caroline Zackerman
Also participating from the Middle School were Spencer Bowden,
Michael Chen, Chloe Constantinides, Owen Coughlin, Sam Easton,
Richard Elliott, Jeffrey Evans, Naomi Evans, Emily Gelhausen, Abby
Groteke, Pierson Hauser, Aiden Jones, Will Juergens, Thomas Kellner,
Grace Kerin, Nate Kreimer, Riley Lingen, Kamaryn Madry, Eli Meyung,
Peggy Moore, Will Robson, Anna Seyerle, Nate Wickemeier, and Gie
Wilson
Next year’s OJCL Convention is set for March 9-11 We also look
forward to having several students attend the 2017 National Junior
Classical League Convention at Troy University in Alabama, July 24-29

Trang 4WHS Mock Trial Team
The WHS Mock Trial Team just completed its best season in years thanks
to the leadership of the team's senior members This year the team was
coached by Attorney Thomas Mellott and Wyoming Parents Melanie
Moody and Chuck Berg
We had three teams compete at the Ohio Mock Trial District competition at
the Hamilton County Courthouse All three teams performed admirably
against stiff competition After failing to have a single team advance in the
previous three years, two of our three teams won both of their match-ups
and advanced to the Regional competition
On top of sending two teams to Regionals, five students won individual
awards at the District competition which is more awards than the teams
received in the previous three years combined Senior Captain Avery
Moody and Senior Katie Lewis won Best Attorney and Best Witness
awards, respectively at their District Trial Senior Taylor Persley also won a
Best Attorney award and Junior Emma Jacquemin and Senior Emma Gaylo
both won Best Witness awards.
At the Regional competition, Avery Moody and Katie Lewis won Best
Attorney and Best Witness awards at their trial and their team narrowly
missed out on advancing to the State Finals at the Ohio Supreme Court
We are proud of all of our members and would like to thank long time
Mock Trial team members Avery Moody, Taylor Persley and Jazzi Rodgers
for their commitment to the program They will be extremely difficult to
replace but we look forward to another great season next year
