One of the most often referenced “favorite lunches” here at WGH has always been the salad bar. Students and staff alike loved the salad bar and were distraught to learn before winter break that the option of salad bar was being replaced with a soup bar. This dissatisfaction was short lived as the soup bar debuted at Warren G Harding this week. The soup bar has options such as potato, beef, and chili. There are also many fresh fruit and vegetable options that offer nutritious options for students and staff each day. Lunches can often seem repetitive, so it is nice to have a change. After many students were disappointed about no longer having a salad bar, the soup bar turned out to be a nice addition to the lunch rotation.

The start of the second semester is here. New classes and class changes. One of the focuses of the new semester is “fresh start”. If students didn’t do as well as they wanted to first semester, now is the time for them to take advantage of the new year. Students should remember to “Stay in the W” by coming to school on time and every day, getting all work for classes turned in on time, and being on their best behavior in classes and while on school property. There are only a few weeks until students start testing and scheduling for next year and only five months until the year is over and summer break begins. The last few months will fly by and students should work hard to finish the year off strong and set up for a fresh start next year!

Before winter break students who qualified for the PBIS event had a blast participating in activities throughout the school. The events included watching a Christmas movie and eating popcorn, painting ornaments made by our woodshop class, rocking out with an Undercover Juicebox featuring three amazing teachers, Mr. Whitacre, Mr. Ensley, and Mr. Rising, and last but not least open gym. Students finally got a break from academics and had a moment to relax and have fun. The event lasted from second period to fifth period and was open to all students who showcased excellent attendance, grades, and behavior over the course of the second quarter. The PBIS team is working on similar events for the remaining quarters. Overall, the event ran smoothly and was the perfect way to end the first semester.

On November 25^th, our Warren G Harding family lost our beloved Mrs. Hall. She has been a helpful liaison at Warren city schools as well as an amazing church minister for many years. Mrs. Hall worked with many of our students and was a great motivator and inspiration to many. She battled cancer but was able to keep a strong happy face all throughout her journey. Mrs. Hall was a great woman passionate about helping others and she will be greatly missed.

This week my article will be on the Veterans Day Sock drive. This sock drive is available until December 14th, and it benefits the Veterans in our area. Students can bring socks and put them in the library in the bin with your grade level on it. It doesn’t matter how many socks or what kind of socks they are they can be ankle socks, long socks, or even cute fuzzy winter socks. The grade level that brings in the most socks will be rewarded with a prize. Even if your grade level does not win it is still great to help the Veterans in any way we can.

!00+ students who achieved 100% attendance during the first 9-weeks were treated to a Waffel Bar Breakfast on Friday, November 4, 2022. Students loaded their waffles with strawberries, blueberries, and of course chocolate syrup, and whipped cream! Bacon, Sausage, juice, and milk were also a part of the celebration!

While they were visiting and eating their breakfast PBIS members, led by Mrs. Shimko, passed out perfect attendance certificates, congratulated students on their achievements, and encouraged them to continue working hard!

Thank you to Principal Williams, Mrs. Shimko, and her PBIS team!

As the first quarter comes to an end, students are now reflecting on the past nine weeks. For those students who were unhappy with their grades, there are many ways to improve. Setting goals and deadlines for yourself is a big way to reflect and fix what didn’t go so well in the first quarter. A perfect way to set your goals is writing in a planner or calendar, or keeping reminders of your goals on post-it notes where you can see them every day. If you really want to see progress toward your goals you should have small goals that are easily achievable in the short term as well as goals that will take longer to achieve (maybe even the whole nine weeks). For more ideas and motivation to set your goals and achieve them, talk to your teachers or guidance counselors.
