GROUND BREAKING FOR NEW ELEMENTARY IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
Since the groundbreaking event, the security fencing went up to surround the construction site. Once these security measures were in place, we noticed more visible changes as bulldozers broke up the existing pavement this week on the site where the new school will be built. A few students were captured taking a peek as the bulldozers got to work!
Waynesville High School & Middle School had the honor of hosting the nationally known author of the Collins Writing Method for an entire day. Dr. John Collins taught two high school classes and two middle school classes (Science & Math) utilizing writing as an instructional tool to engage students and help with content retention! He then spoke with the participating staff after each class. At the end of the day the middle school and high school staffs met with Dr. Collins for a summary and recommendations. It was a very enlightening day and the students enjoyed it as well as the teachers did!
Alex Hines, WHS senior, was recognized on Sunday for achieving Eagle Scout status by Troupe 51 Boy Scouts! What a great accomplishment!
Congratulations Alex!
SGit - New Club for High School Students
What is it?
SGit is a new club, facilitated by IT Instructor Mr. Smith, that will meet in Computer Lab-2, starting on Tuesday October 8th. The focus of the club is to provide students with the opportunity to share their passion for gaming and technology, build a competitive team, earn scholarships, internships and co-ops. The scope of the club is two-fold, eSports & Information Technology.
Competitive Gaming (eSports)
Video Games are the fastest growing and most lucrative aspect of the modern entertainment industry. Some of the most popular games are multiplayer in nature, pitting teams of players against each other in a virtual competition of strategy, coordination, communication and collaboration. When utilized in organized competitions with static teams competing for a title or prize, the term eSports is used.
Information Technology Competitions
Competitions like Cincinnati’s annual TechOlympics give students the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of peers, colleges, and businesses; while working to solve real world problems. When attending events like this, you’ll spend multiple days competing with other schools in challenges ranging from programming to design to networking, with fun events like speed texting and more! You’ll also be able to get hands-on assistance with creating a professional resume and learning how to conduct yourself during a formal job interview. You’ll have direct access to Cincinnati’s best employers, many of whom will be looking for summer interns and future co-ops. If you have an interest in gaming, technology, broadcasting or marketing, The Strategic Gaming & Information Technology (SGit) may be the club for you!
SGit Mission & Goals
Mission : To create an open and safe environment where students will develop soft-skills, build relationships, as well as make connections between their passions and career opportunities.
How does SGit plan on accomplishing this?
Both eSports & Technology Competitions will give you the opportunity to:
- Earn College Scholarships
- Network with colleges, potential employers, and like-minded students
- Build soft-skills: communication, leadership, discipline, teamwork, & perseverance
- Build a portfolio of experience for your resume or college application
Club Goals:
- Build Club Roster
- Establish Meeting Calendar & Scope According to Student Desires
- Host local events at WHS
- Join a National High School eSports League such as HSEL or PlayVS
- Compete with other schools at league events
- Attend Cincinnati TechOlympics 2020 for eSports, IT Practical Competitions & Workshops
- Build a portfolio of work for each member, detailing their experiences
- Elevate and encourage each other to be the best
- Persevere despite failures, to pave a road to success

Project Gunlock is a community safety initiative supported by the Village of Waynesville, Wayne Township, Mary L. Cook Public Library, Waynesville Area Chamber of Commerce, Wayne Local Schools, and endorsed by “The Waynesville Way.” Collectively, we encourage gun owners to safely secure their firearms and to always be aware of who can access them to prevent accident, theft and misuse. These organizations and three local businesses – B & B Carryout, Waynesville Pharmacy, and Pat’s Place, are providing free gun locks to secure firearms.
This community-wide initiative is to spread a very important message. We ask you to pledge to keep our community’s children safe and confident by always safely securing your guns.

Wayne Local Schools is expanding its services with The Education Connection (TEC) to include a Safety/Bully Tip Line. When you witness verbal, written, physical, or electronic abuse, speak up! If students hear or see suspicious behavior from another student, they should not ignore it. We encourage all students to report any concerns about another student or the safety and security of Wayne Local School District.
Anyone can report anonymously a bullying/safety issue by calling the TEC tip line at (513) 855-4350 option 7 or by going online at waynelocal.tipline.info. The tip line will also allow you to choose an incident number so that you can receive an update on the status or provide new information for this incident and still remain ANONYMOUS.
The information will be immediately forwarded to the proper authority. All reports are taken very seriously.
There are posters displayed in all buildings with tip line information to remind students to always adopt the mindset of “if you see something or know something, say something.”

WELLNESS NEWS
OHIO AND VAPING
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has issued a health alert to healthcare providers asking them to report all suspected cases of serious pulmonary illness where the cause is unclear with a history of vaping to local or state public health officials for investigation.
“We are seeing a tremendous increase in vaping among our youth, which is a public health crisis,” said ODH Director Amy Acton, MD, MPH. “There is a perception that vaping is safe, and these reports of serious pulmonary illness linked to e-cigarettes or vaping product use show that this is simply not true.”
The CDC issued updated recommendations on vaping for the public:
• While the investigations are ongoing, people should consider refraining from using e-cigarette or vaping products if they are concerned about the health risks.
• Regardless of the investigation, e-cigarette and vaping products should not be used by youth, young adults, pregnant women or adults who do not currently use tobacco products.
• Do not buy vaping products off the street. It’s unknown what they really contain.
• Vaping products bought on the street may contain THC or other cannabinoids.
• Do not modify vaping products or add any sub-stances not intended by the manufacturer.
• People who vape should monitor themselves for symptoms and promptly seek medical attention if they have concerns about their health.
For more information on Vaping , please visit
