In the college class Criminal Justice by Dennis Schugk, the classes of all online schools and the college campus were given a unique and surprisingly interesting project. The project was to have a group of 8 students work together to survive on an island then create a form of government. The students were given a choice of supplies and one additional partner per person which can also carry supplies. Another thing to note is that all other groups from other schools were placed on different areas of the island. The most entertaining of the projects were the punishments. One final interesting aspect of the project was what you were going to do with the other groups on the island. There were no restrictions about what you can do and how you do it. The map above will describe the different countries, their government, and their strategy including punishments. It is a rather interesting game… project and trying it yourself might prove entertaining.

Reminder

Parent/Teacher Conference today 9/21 from 3-6 PM at WHS.

Wayne vs. Pinnacle 9-3. It was a cold game today but the Badger boys pulled out the win.

On August 31st, the clubs FCCLA and HOSA conducted an Opening Social with their members and some other schools. The location of the event was at Fish Lake. The other schools consisted of Piute and North Sevier. At the Opening Social they had several activities and pizza with snow cones along with other foods. Due to COVID rules masks were worn and pizza was shared only amongst the individual schools. There were several events such as bingo and a poster making competition. This year the organizers for this event decided to do board/card games with members being swapped from every group every few minutes. The organizers for this year’s Opening Social were Jasper James(Wayne), Mizuki Ito(Wayne), and Sierra Bullard(North Sevier). The Advisors for the schools were Joni Taft(Wayne), Deborah James(Wayne), Coylene Brinkerhoff(North Sevier), Holly Westwood(Piute).

Welcome back, Badgers! We are so excited to see you all. Also, welcome to all the freshmen and new students this year! We are so excited you’ve joined our Badger Nation. This year may be a bit different than previous years, but it is still going to great. We are all still adjusting to coming back to school, but don’t give up quite yet. It can only get better. (Plus, did you know it actually takes about 15 days to adjust to a change? Isn’t that crazy?) As we come back to school, don’t forget to support your fellow students in all their activities and academic endeavors. Also, don’t forget to show kindness to everyone you see. You don’t have to do something huge to help someone have a better day. A simple hello can sometimes change someone’s entire day. There’s a quote that goes: “Be someone who makes somebody else look forward to tomorrow.” As we all adjust to the changes that have come (and will continue coming), let’s be supportive and help each other out. Welcome back and have a great year, Badgers!
