Mrs. Wykert's kindergarten class learned that there are about 4,000 different varieties of apples, the world's largest apple (the Hakuto) weighing 4 lbs., and Johnny Appleseed, who traveled the American frontier planting apple seeds. Thank you to Nurse Ann for sharing delicious apples from her apple tree! Happy Fall!🍎🍏

The principal, Tony Johnson, of Wapello High School announced today that Alex Chapman has been named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2027 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2027 competition by taking the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

"Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."

Congratulations, Alex!

Class of 2027 & their Parents/Guardians:

There has been a change in format to the Class of 2027 Meeting. As you know, Mike Simpson's visitation is Tuesday night and Ms. Eakins wants to give families and students the opportunity to attend if they wish.

So, the format for the class meeting will be in an online format - Ms. Eakins will share the presentation and talk through the information. There will be a link to allow parents / guardians to sign up for time to meet with the school counselor to ask questions that apply to their situations.

Please look for an email and social media post with the presentation and thank you for your flexibility!

The Indian Marching Band is heading home with a third place finish at the Mt Pleasant Marching Band Invitational. I want to give these kids a MAJOR shoutout as they were the only 1A/2A band to perform their music memorized this evening. That is a huge step in helping us prepare for state festival.
