Congratulations to Bethany Taff for being awarded the High Five Award!
Awarded to Bethany Taff from Leigh Garth. Here is what Leigh had to say about Bethany:
"I am passing the HIGH FIVE Award to Bethany Taff
Bethany is hard working, bright, and inspiring! She engages in her kids, and her commitment is endless to them. I love how she finds a way to engage with her students on their likes and needs. She challenges her kids to be expressive such as her book-publishing project. She is compassionate to those around her. I have witnessed her see the needs of others and step in with a willingness of whatever that might be. She connects with the kids and, she is their biggest cheerleader! She is a “do’er” right along beside them. I love that she takes great pride in what she does and how she does it. I always brag on her, she is one that always has her stuff done in a timely manner. She does a superb job on her paperwork, found that out during the pandemic. Bethany is top notch! When she came to us four years ago, I knew from the moment she walked in she would impact kids here at White County Central. We are blessed to have you here! You inspire me to be better! I am proud to work with you!"

Congratulations to Leigh Garth on receiving the High Five Award.
Awarded to Leigh Garth from the Cafeteria Staff. Here is what the Cafeteria Staff had to say about Leigh:
"We a lunch room all 100% agree that the High Five Award should go to Leigh Garth. We feel like Leigh represents what the White County Central School District hold dear-faith, family, community, kindness, friendship, love, and affection.
Leigh has been a sounding board for Karen and I. She has taken time to help us with whatever is needed whether it be running the computer, helping serve, teaching computer stuff, listening to our gripes, and sharing a few belly laughs. Leigh has our entire staff's back to the point of taking our slights and applause to heart.
Leigh greets us all on a daily with a kind word and smile. She personifies commitment and strength. She lends an ear or a shouilder to anyone and everyone who needs one. She is also down for just about any prank and laughs at all silly jokes.
Leigh loves this school, the kids, and all the staff. She is prayerful and praiseful for us all. She is mindful of her job and hardworking. To sum it up, we in the lunch rooom think Leigh Garth is the bomb! Love, Karen, Kara, Deleta, Amy, Ashaley, Angela, Crystal, Alex and Tamera...AKA The Lunch Bunch"
Thank you, Leigh Garth, for your service to WCC!
The Baseball game has been rescheduled until tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00 @ Tuckerman!
Anyone coming to school from the south needs to be aware that water is over the road in a low spot on Highway 157. This is just before the flashing school sign near Edwards Rd. Please slow down before hitting this water for your safety.
3rd-6th Grades will be taking the ACT Aspire Assessment tomorrow and Thursday. Please make sure your students get a good night's rest and are at school on time. If a student comes in late, they will have to wait in the office, until the test being given is complete. They can then join their class for the next test. Also, encourage them to eat breakfast. If your student is virtual, we will call when they are finished testing for the day. You can expect them to finish between 11:00 and 12:00.
White County Central is starting grades 7-12 Interscholastic Soccer next year. Since this will be a brand new sport for our district our soccer account will start at $0.00. We would use this account to get equipment, attire, or assist a player who would be unable to get their own equipment. If you would be interested in donating to the Soccer Team, please see our Admin office with donations. Thank you and we are excited for this new opportunity for our students. The AAA Soccer Team starts in the 2021/2022 school year, but if your child is interested in learning the game and developing their skills contact Mark Wagner mwagner@wccsd.k12.ar.us.
Baseball boys play their game in the district tournament tonight at 6:00 against Midland @ Tuckerman! Come out and show your support for these boys! ⚾️
High Five Award!
Awarded to the Cafeteria Staff from Charlotte Harrison. Here is what Ms. Charlotte has to say about the Cafeteria Staff:
"I would like to give the high five award to the Cafeteria Staff. During the time of the pandemic and this school year, they have been extremely flexible and organized to be able to distribute meals to meet the needs at that time. They have tirelessly planned and strategically prepared lunches for bus delivery and classroom distribution. They also give additional effort for extracurricular events, such as the senior dinner with the superintendent. They take time to know each child and greet them daily with a hug and a smile. Thank you Karen and crew for all you do! "
Thank you, Cafeteria Staff, for your service to WCC!
