Maize Gets Top 10 Finish WACO freshman Ian Maize earned a 6th place finish at the National High School Coaches Association Nationals at Virginia Beach last weekend. He racked up seven wins in his bracket of more than 150 wrestlers, picking up wins against wrestlers from Connecticut, Ohio, New York, Florida, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

Students in Mrs. Miller's class engaged in a debate with Mrs. Settles (acting as President James Madison) to debate whether or not to engage England in war in 1812. Both sides for and against did a great job explaining their positions. It was a hard decision but Mrs. Settles decided not to go to war which was different than the real President Madison's decision years ago! The students enjoyed preparing for this and trying to guess what Mrs. Settles' decision was going to be! They have all been learning so much about the War of 1812 and have much to be proud of! We had to take a few silly pictures too!
