Over the past several months, students in the Cross-Categorical class at Wayne Trace have been teaming up with senior art students in order to create a beautiful collection of artworks as part of an Art Possible Ohio Adaptation, Integration, and the Arts grant.  Under the guidance of local artist Jayne Smith, these students have been inspired to work together and learn a variety of new weaving techniques, from branch weaving and making birds’ nests to fashioning table runners and creating a colorful twelve-foot long fence weaving.  In their last studio session together this month, Defiance artist Zoe Smith joined the artistic team as each student learned how to finger weave their very own scarf just in time for the extremely cold weather.  

The students and staff at Wayne Trace are extremely grateful for teaching artist Jayne Smith, sharing her time and talents with them over the past five months through this creative residency, and they look forward to working with Jayne again in the future! 


Wow!!

Congratulations go out to junior Hunter Lyons who's mesmerizing ink drawing, Where's the Rectangle? will be featured in this winter's edition of Celebrating Art!   This is the second juried contest that has chosen Hunter's piece for exhibition this semester.  

Food Distribution

Food
Wayne Trace will be hosting a monthly food distribution for our families who have children in grades 7-12.  You will be able to come to the high school and receive some supplemental groceries for the month.  We are working with the West Ohio Food Bank, so we will be limited to what they have available for the month.  We received a grant this year from Honda, so we should be able to have a nice supply of food available.
 
Distribution will be held from 3pm to 5:30pm or until we are out of food.   Students who drive are able to pick up food.  Students who ride the bus will not have time to pick up food.  Students do not need to be present when families pick up food.   The only information we will ask for is the name of one 7-12 student in the household and a tally of the number of people in the house. Food is available for all members of the household. No names are given to West Ohio Food Bank.
 
Our distribution will be in the Ag shop, which is located on the south side of the building near the softball field.  Pick up is from 3pm-5:30pm.  There is NO financial requirement.  This is open to any family with a student in grades 7-12 who would like some supplemental groceries.
 
Typically, we will have this on the third Wednesday of the month, but we did have to change it for March and May.  Distribution dates:
 
February 19th 
March 12th
April 16th
May 14th
No distributions in June, July or August.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Franz at [email protected]
 
Thank you!

Wayne Trace High School's maintenance director Bob Thomas recently approached the school's STEAM center with a challenge:  could they create a downspout to replace a broken ceramic one that is no longer made?  Bob was quickly introduced to Luke Stouffer, a senior student in Mr. Ed Stuart's Engineering Design course.  In less than a day, Luke had measured, calculated, and designed a replacement downspout using Fusion 360, a computer-aided design program that he just learned this fall.  The design was printed using one of the school's 3D printers, and in less than 48 hours, the problem was solved!  We are ready for your next challenge, Bob!  

Principal Letter

Dear parent/guardian of Wayne Trace Students,

The first nine weeks concluded on October 11th for the 2024-2025 school year. Overall, the students have worked hard to keep up with the expectations of our teaching staff. Grade reports were mailed on October 18th to parents/guardians of our students at Wayne Trace Junior/Senior High School.

Parent-teacher conferences are set up for Wednesday, October 23, from 5:30–8:30 p.m. and Thursday, October 24, from 1:00-4:30 pm and 5:30-8:00 p.m. We encourage parents to set up appointments with teachers if there are concerns after receiving the grade reports. Contact our office staff and we will try to schedule appointments where teachers may still have openings. Also, parents may call or email teachers directly if questions arise throughout the year. An important factor for student success is having parents who are involved and care about their child’s education.

On Wednesday, November 6, the eighth grade students will tour Vantage Career Center. While students do not make the decision to attend Vantage until their sophomore year, this tour motivates students to begin thinking about future career options. 

The annual Veteran’s Day program will be held on Monday, November 11 at 8:05 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. The public is invited to attend this inspiring assembly.

Another special program that will take place in November is the National Honor Society induction ceremony on Friday, November 1 at 1:55 p.m. Junior and senior students who meet the criteria in scholarship, character, service, and leadership will be honored.

As always, I want to thank the community for its outstanding support of all the activities involving our students at Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High School. Go Raiders!

Warm regards,
Mike Myers

Veteran Banners

Banners created by our Art Technology classes honoring veterans from our Wayne Trace community are now being hung for display in Grover Hill, Payne, Latty, Haviland, and Scott.  If you missed out on the opportunity to honor your veteran with a banner this year, orders for next year will be accepted starting on Veterans Day in November and continuing through February 15.  Thank you!
