All students participating in a WMS or JCHS sport for the 2025-26 school year MUST have a
yearly sports physical.
This is a great opportunity to cross that off your back-to-school checklist, and help support several of our school groups.
Here's a link to the IHSA Physical form: https://bit.ly/3XIrjTd
You can find print copies in the office at Lincoln Elementary, Washington Middle School, and Johnston City High School.
Our 4th graders participated in the Quest for a Million Pennies, raising a $692.28 donation for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This project is part of the classes Reading and Language Arts curriculum, teaching how to contribute to the community and world by works of charity.
Students teamed up to create an ad for a talk show style presentation in front of the third grade classes. Overall, the teams had nine charities to present on like the World Wildlife Foundation, Salvation Army, and Make a Wish Foundation. Ultimately, 4th graders decided to select St. Jude as their fundraiser recipient.
