T A C EA R Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope the winter break is enjoyable, and that the New Year gets off to a great start for each of our Bearcat families. It will be good to come back rested and ready to focus on a strong finish for the first semester. The finals schedule is published in this parent bulletin. The second semester will be an opportunity for each student to build on achievements, and might also be a time for students to find a new direction and develop support systems for academic challenges. Students and parents/guardians should contact his/her student’s counselor to make plans for second semester success if there are specific academic needs. All students are urged to make the most of Study Hall, Mondays through Thursdays, from 10:05 to 10:30, to improve their academic standing. Math tutoring continues to be available, and dates and times are published in this bulletin. Good attendance is linked to success in the classroom; nine absences, excused or unexcused are the equivalent of ten percent of the classroom time in a semester. Today’s classroom instruction is focused on active engagement. It becomes very difficult for students to keep up when they aren’t in class. For our seniors, parents and families, the graduation finish line is ahead. Encourage your seniors to attend and finish their high school education by staying academically strong.

Students of the Month English Department Emma Lund The December Student of the Month for the English Department is Emma Lund. Emma has truly excelled in the Bridge to College Course. Every assignment has attention to detail and it shows that she truly cares about the work that she produces. On her first writing assignment, she took the time to ensure that every detail was correct and that her message was clear. A team of teachers, including a writing professor from Eastern Washington University, were extremely impressed with the quality of her writing. Way to go Emma! Art Department Sadie Jerome & Hailey Burger Sadie Jerome and Hailey Burger are the Art Department’s two students of the month. Both Sadie and Hailey are in beginning pottery, but both students stretch their projects into realms of creativity that surpass many advanced pottery students. Both Sadie and Hailey constantly think outside the box, and both do a great job paying attention, not only to the basic assignment requirements and adding extra features, but also in their craftsmanship–both make beautifully cleaned up projects that anyone would be proud to display in their homes. Math Department Lexis Haller & Colby White As students of the month for December of 2015, Mr. Corrigan would like to recognize Lexis Haller and Colby White for their outstanding work in Geometry. Both of them always turn in high quality work and continually put forth their best effort in all they do. In addition, they are both outstanding citizens in the classroom. Music Department Isaiah Freeborn Choir student of the month is Isaiah Freeborn. Isaiah is a very dedicated and committed music student. His enthusiasm for singing is evident as he consistently works hard to be prepared, improve his skills and contribute to the music ensemble. Isaiah has a terrific attitude, always happy and willing to help. Social Studies Cody Miller This months Social Studies Student of the month is Cody Miller. Cody has done a terrific job in Sociology. He shows an interest in the topics shared in class and often participated in discussions. But this accommodation comes to him as a result of his participation in our “Fire Sides”. He is great at bringing up topics to discuss. But what helps him stand out is his down -toearth wisdom. Shared with humility and deep understanding. Way to go Cody, your participation in Sociology is appreciated. Yearbook Sales Yearbook sales closed on Dec. 18 and won’t open again until after spring break when the price goes up to $55.

Dear Chehalis Community: Although we often hear about teens in trouble, there are many stories of teenagers accomplishing great tasks. The Leadership program at W. F. West this year sponsored a Food Feud against Centralia and were able to collect over 3000 pounds for the Chehalis Food Bank. My classes decided to have an in-school competition during this drive, and they collected $387 toward the food drive. That money generated just short of 400 pounds of the total. The food drive was a huge success, and the parents and community should be proud of the students’ accomplishment. Following immediately after the food drive, my classes agreed to be involved with the Salvation Army in the Adopt-a-Family program for Christmas. This year we received a family of eight with seven children ranging in age from four to eighteen. We were given a list of gift wishes. The classes were able to fulfill all the wishes for the family and add additional gifts, food and gift cards to ensure this family would have a happy holiday season. I want to extend my sincere thanks to my students, their parents, and W. F. West staff members for their help in making the holiday bright for a local family. The holidays seem so much more joyful when people join together to share with others. Happy Holidays to all! Mrs. Janelle Williams English Department Bits ‘n’ Pieces New Ornaments for the Lewis County Courthouse On December 3, 2015, 63 handmade ornaments were delivered to the Lewis County Courthouse to be displayed on the County Christmas tree located in the lobby of the Lewis County Courthouse. The ornaments were made by W. F. West’s advanced pottery/mixed media students and will become part of a permanent collection of county ornaments.
