The Western Plains Bobcat Pep Band cheered on the WPH Bobcats as they played their Homecoming game, on Friday, September 9th. The band is comprised of 36 high school and junior high school students. Mrs. Flax's mentor, Deanna Fraley, brought seven of her band students from Healy to help out. Thanks for the support, Healy Eagles! The hot temperature didn't slow these kids down! Armed with umbrellas, sports drinks, and instruments, the Pep Band played their way into the hearts of the Bobcat football team and fans alike! BRAVO, WPH PEP BAND!!!

Congratulations to the Western Plains Healy junior high volleyball team, who was named as champions of the Western Plains Invitational Volleyball tournament held this past Saturday, September 10.
Grades 2-3 at WP South studied Schoolyard Habitat, and discovered this big-eyed creature! Students didn't know what it was, but soon became experts on cicadas. They. named this one Steve.
Excited by their live discovery, they did research to learn more--starting with the fact cicadas are harmless, won't bite or sting, and feel tickly-prickly when they walk on your skin!
Students wrote down facts, and drew pictures of cicadas. They found a dry cicada "shell" in a nearby tree, learned it was the insect's exoskeleton, and collected it as a scientific specimen. Then together, the student scientists created an 8-foot-long hallway display of cicada information outside their classroom.
Stop by and see it when you're in Bazine!
