šŖµ Building Respect, Literally ā Social Contracts at WHS
At Watervliet High School, each class creates a Social Contract ā a shared agreement between students and teachers about how they want to treat one another. These contracts are a cornerstone of our Capturing Kidsā Hearts (CKH) model, helping every student feel valued, respected, and connected.
This month, our woodworking students took the idea to a whole new level ā literally! They designed and built their own social contracts on hand-crafted wooden boards. Each signature, carved or painted, represents a commitment to teamwork, responsibility, and mutual respect.
These creative displays are a powerful reminder that at WHS, students donāt just talk about positive culture ā they build it with their own hands. š¾ā¤ļø

Sports Update
Watervliet emerged victorious over Gobles in an exciting five-set match on Thursday. The Panthers played tough defense all night, racking up over 50 team digs to secure the win.
Defensively, Ava Hobson anchored the back row, leading the team with 16 digs. Strong performances were also noted from Brianna Zwar, Emma Owen, Katelynn Kostrzewa, and Gianna Berry, who each contributed over 7 digs to the defensive effort.
On offense, freshman Braelyn Campbell led the team in kills with 7. Adding to the kill tally were Ava Thomas, Adelyn Campbell, Ava Hobson, Isabella Bultema, Kelsea Gaston, and Aubrey Winnell. The Panthers will play away on Tuesday before returning for their last home match on Thursday, October 23rd.
JV Volleyball Triumphs Over Gobles in Thrilling Three-Set Match The JV volleyball team showcased resilience and teamwork in a hard-fought victory over Gobles, winning in three sets: 25-20, 23-25, and 15-11. The opening set saw the team come out strong, maintaining consistent pressure and capitalizing on key plays to secure a 25-20 win. Gobles responded in the second set with renewed energy, edging out a close 25-23 win despite a late rally from the home team. With the match tied, the decisive third set was a battle of grit and determination. The JV squad dug deep, executing smart plays and staying composed under pressure to clinch the final set 15-11.

At this time, please stand.
The privilege of this day was made possible by those who have fought ā and continue to fight ā for our freedoms.
Letās honor them by placing our hands over our hearts and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.ā

š Classroom Spotlight: Mr. Andrewsā CKH in Action
At the start of class, Mr. Andrews refers to the Social Contract so students clearly understandāand are reminded ofāthe expectations for working in groups. Each hour of each day, a student leader makes the contract big and visible for that hour.
Best part? As a student leadership role, students switch the focus expectations hourly so the norms match the specific class that wrote them. Result: calm starts, focused teamwork, and students owning the culture. šš¾

š Door-greeting, but make it tiny-hand fabulous!
Today Mrs. Lefor is spicing up the morning welcome with high fives from her tiny hand šļøš In the pic, sheās giving Marqus a five on the way ināinstant smiles, instant connection.
Why we do it (CKH style): greeting at the door helps every student feel seen and valued, sets a positive tone for learning, and creates a smooth start to class. Small moments = big impact. š
