On Friday December 2, 2011, the students of Waynesville Middle School gained information from many local professionals to help answer the question “What do I want to be when I grow up?”  

Mrs. Burchfield, our guidance counselor, coordinated with local professionals that would be willing to spend some time with our students to explain what does it take to do certain jobs. The students were able to choose five careers to learn about and spent 30 minutes engaged in listening, asking questions and in some cases demonstrating some of the skills necessary to complete the job. Through these experiences students were able to make some connections on how their day to day studies can lead to the various careers available.

On Tuesday November 22, 2011, our 8th grade students had the opportunity to participate in a simulation designed to help them appreciate how hard it is to stretch a dollar.  We are hoping it also helps each of them appreciate how hard you work to put food on the table, heat in the home, and clothes on everyone’s back!

The simulation was called “Real Money, Real World” and was offered to us from the Ohio State University Extension Office here in Warren County.  Here is how the program worked.

2011 Project Excellence Award recipients and several business people traveled to Columbus to meet with Ohio Department of Education officials, representatives of Ohio’s National Federation of Independent Businesses and legislators.  The group talked with several ODE department directors and learned of thematic, inquiry-based, authentic learning and revised core standards. Lunch was hosted by NFIB at the Athletic Club. The afternoon was spent touring the Capital where they met with Representative Peter Beck on the House Floor and later were recognized by the Senate.

On Tuesday evening, May 24th, the middle school staff met for an informal gathering to say farewell to Mrs. Joy Stubbs as the sixth grade social studies teacher.  After 19 years of working with Waynesville students, Mrs. Stubbs has decided it is time to move on in life and pursue other interests.  Mrs. Stubbs’ impact has been felt far and wide by the many students she has helped along the way.  Her love of geography, our democratic society, and her strong desire to see students become better thinkers as well as citizens has made Mrs.
