Good Morning, Raiders! Today is Wednesday, September 11th

Today is September 11th, also known as Patriot’s Day. This day is dedicated to remember, reflect, honor and mourn those that we lost in the terrorist attack. Many people around the country and world rallied to service in order to offer support in the midst of tragedy. We honor the spirit of sacrifice made that day and everyday by our communities’ first responders and members of the armed forces. We encourage all students and staff to give the best of yourself and be a Patriot today. Offer help to someone today, give someone words of kindness or simply thank a first responder.

To kick off this year’s National Arts in Education Week, the Black Swamp Arts Festival held its annual Chalk Walk competition in Bowling Green. Congratulations go out to seniors Aiden Lee and Bella Knowles whose Mardi-gras inspired design won them the Best Use of Media award in this year’s competition. Please go to our school’s website to see Aiden and Bella award-winning artwork!

Black Swamp Arts

Congratulations go out to Wayne Trace seniors Aiden Lee and Bella Knowles who competed in the Black Swamp Arts Festival's Chalk Walk this past weekend in Bowling Green. Aiden and Bella's Mardi Gras-themed design won them the "Best Use of Media" award in this annual contest sponsored by the BG Rotary.

Art Technology

Students in Wayne Trace's Art Technology program have been busy again this fall creating products for their STEAM Store which debuted this past weekend at Mercer Landmark's AGrow Expo. Look for even more artwork created using their CNC machine, laser cutters and engravers, UV printers and other machines to be featured at Homecoming on October 4 when the Wayne Trace STEAM Store and center has an Open House from 5 to 7pm. More details will be posted soon!

Food Distribution

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:

September 18^th

October 16^th

November 20^th

December 18^th

January 15^th

February 19^th

March 12^th

April 16^th

May 14^th

No distributions in June, July or August.

If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Franz at [email protected]

Principal Letter

Dear parent/guardian of Wayne Trace Students,

Thank you for looking at our website and welcome to this 2024-2025 school year! When we start school, we will be faced with unique challenges. To see success in these times, we must VALUE all of our classmates, teachers, and staff. Respect for everyone must be placed on the forefront. All of our students have different backgrounds, personalities, likes, opinions, and preferences. Raiders need to respect Raiders! My goal is to quarterly update this letter with information and important dates you may need as a parent of a Wayne Trace student.

It is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another great school year. We are excited to have students back in our classrooms and hallways filling them with energy and enthusiasm for learning. It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and a part of our Wayne Trace family. Additionally, we strive to challenge each student to grow in his or her academic abilities, take advantage of the extracurricular programs and to be college or career-ready by the time they leave here.

At Wayne Trace, we have caring, dedicated, hard working teachers who spend hours planning and creating classroom activities to engage our students in learning. Our teachers utilize research-based best practices and analyze academic data to determine current skill levels and to set goals for growth and improvement. We believe that all students should graduate from high school prepared for the demands of postsecondary education, meaningful careers, and effective citizenship.

We hope that you find our website helpful and informative. We have begun entering dates for all events and activities into the “Calendars/Schedules” feature of our website. Please check our website on a regular basis. We update it on a daily basis with the school announcements.

We have three main expectations here at Wayne Trace and they are the following: 1. Be Respectful 2. Be Responsible 3. Be Ready. If we all follow these three expectations, we will have a great year. I am honored to serve as the principal of Wayne Trace High School. It is truly a privilege to be a part of a community where parents/guardians, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth. Please feel free to contact me at 419-399-4100 or at [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Wayne Trace High School. I am excited about the journey ahead and all the wonderful things we will accomplish together. Go Raiders!!

Warm regards,

Mike Myers

The first veteran banner was hung yesterday in Latty. Approximately 220 banners were printed under the direction of our art teacher, Ms. Angie Stokes and her students. A BIG thank you for all the work that was put into completing this project.

Thank you for your service!

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!
