A nice sendoff assembly was held Wednesday morning at WHS, not only to honor the departing Lady Crusader Basketball squad who is appearing in their 3rd consecutive State 4A Tournament this evening vs Labette County! (@ Salina - 6:30PM), but also pay tribute to this year's State 4A Wrestlers, 2 of 3 who were present at the assembly. (Ian Groom, Blake Bales and not present, Matt McComb) Also spotlighted, the WHS Powerlifting team and coach.
USD 353 Choral Director, Jessica Coldwell, presented her KNIGHT and CRUSADER Choirs in concert Tuesday evening at Wellington High School and much to the delight of those within hearin' distance! Superb performances by both groups, singing some rather difficult selections too.
On Friday, March 9, the National Honor Society Crusader Chapter at Wellington High School will be hosting a blood drive through American Red Cross. This event will take place from 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. in the auxiliary gym. The blood collected will go towards those in need in the Sumner County area.
Jax Cornejo, son of Jesse and Airily Cornejo, a 7th grader at WMS and winner of this past Fall's Sumner County Spelling Bee, carried that title with him to Hays, Kansas today for the Regional Spelling Bee and made it to the 8th round and finished 8th out of 95 participants and medaled to boot!!!
The word Jax went out on..."efficacy"... but spelled some tough ones up to that point! Wellington is very proud of you Jax!! Way to represent KNIGHT!! That is awesome!
