The MSD of Wabash County School Board met to conduct business on Tuesday night.
Donations were approved totaling $970 which will provide elementary students with a new Scholastic book each month throughout the school year.
The Board approved the renaming of the Northfield Jr/Sr High outdoor track. The track will now be known as “Leming Track” in honor of longtime Northfield Cross Country and Track & Field coach and teacher, Dick Leming. Coach Leming shared during the meeting that he came to Northfield in 1968 when there was no track. Soon afterward, Northfield and Southwood were among the first schools in Indiana to have an all-weather track installed.
School Recognition
Southwood Elementary
Southwood Elementary thanked their custodian team of Teresa Baker, Kim Miller, & Dana Bosteter who did a phenomenal job with summer cleaning and related tasks to prepare for the new school year. More than one new family taking a tour in the days before school commented how clean our building was. Southwood Elementary is blessed to have custodians who take pride in their school and their work!
White’s Jr/Sr High School
White’s Jr/Sr High honored White’s Residential staff, Ron Evans, CEO, Matt Riggle, Residential Director, and their entire staff for the work they do in providing youth rehabilitative services for the teens that are placed in their care. The staff at the school is humbled to work alongside campus as we provide educational services for the students.
Southwood Jr/Sr High School
Southwood Jr/Sr High congratulated the volleyball team on their season opening win last week against Eastern and to the Southwood Football team for their decisive home opener win against Rochester.
SHS also shared a special thank you to the custodial and maintenance staff for preparing the building for the school year. There were substantive projects going on in the building during the summer and they worked extra hard to get everything in tip-top shape.
