YOUR FRESHMAN NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF TH E MONTH --CADIA RAINES!!
My favorite teacher is Mr. Linderman because he genuinely tries to connect with his students in a way that makes class enjoyable and creates a safe, welcoming space. My favorite class is art, as it’s where I get to do something I truly love while learning and growing with a teacher who guides me every step of the way. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, spending time with my family, reading, and drawing. I haven’t joined any clubs or sports yet, but I’m planning to try out for the soccer team and possibly volleyball next year. After high school, I hope to attend a good college and pursue an artistic career, though my plans are still developing since this is only my first year. I’m proud to be a Panther because the people around me inspire and empower me, and I’m grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had at WHS.

YOUR SOPHOMORE NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH --KEVIN JOHNSON!
I don’t have just one favorite teacher—I really like all of them because each brings something different to the classroom. My favorite classes tend to be history, since I enjoy learning about the past. In my free time, I love playing sports, especially football, basketball, and track. I don’t have a set plan for after high school yet, but I’m figuring things out as I go. I’m proud to be part of Watervliet High School because it’s a really nice place to learn and grow. 🐾

YOUR SOPHOMORE NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH--LILLY COLLINS!
Mrs. Simmons has been my favorite teacher because she has always encouraged me, and we connect through our shared love of reading and writing. My favorite classes this year have been History and AP Seminar because the coursework truly interests me. In my free time, I love spending time with my best friend and family, or picking up extra shifts at work where I make pizza. I’m also part of the debate club with Mrs. Simmons, and I’m really looking forward to the state competition coming up later this month. I am proud to be a WHS Panther because of the familiarity I have with so many people here and the positivity that our teachers have been putting so much effort into this year.

YOUR JUNIOR NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH--KYLIN BLACKSTON!!
Mrs. Lefor has always been one of my favorite teachers because she’s incredibly kind, fun to learn from, and always willing to help you through anything, no matter what it is. My favorite class this year is the one I take at Van Buren Tech—Allied Health Technologies. It’s very informative and hands-on, and I love that it gives me the opportunity to earn my phlebotomy certificate while I’m still in high school.
In my free time, I like to bake or sleep. Baking lets me try new recipes, and it’s always exciting when something turns out really well. After high school, my plan is to become a phlebotomist, enlist in the National Guard, and go into the medical field for more experience. I also hope to attend college to study psychology and eventually become a psychiatrist.
I’m proud to be a WHS Panther because of the many learning opportunities we are given and because of how much our staff cares. 🐾

YOUR JUNIOR NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH--MACKENZIE WEBSTER!!
My favorite teacher is Mrs. Brush because I’ve had her for six years, and she always gives amazing feedback and support. My favorite class is my online course because I enjoy having Mrs. Brant as a teacher, and I like being able to work at my own pace—plus, when I’m ahead, I get extra time to work on assignments for other classes. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, driving around with friends, and reading. I also participate in choir. After high school, I plan on going to college. I’m proud to be a WHS Panther because I get to meet new people, explore more learning opportunities, and feel prepared for the transition from high school to college.

YOUR SENIOR NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH --MARK BIRMELE!!
My favorite teacher at Watervliet has been Mr. Corkins because he’s a genuinely great teacher, and I really enjoyed both his class and his teaching style. This year, I don’t really have one favorite class—they all feel pretty equal to me. In my free time, I like hanging out with my girlfriend Sophie, spending time with my family, or working on some kind of vehicle. I participate in wrestling and baseball, and after high school I plan to go into automotive work or become a firefighter. I’m proud to be a Panther because we all support each other, and that sense of community means a lot to me. 🐾

YOUR SENIOR NOVEMBER 2025 STUDENT OF THE MONTH --GIOVANNI AYALA!
All the teachers in the school are the best, but if I were to choose who were my favorite I would say my favorite ones would have to be Mrs. O'Toole and Ms. Irmen because they always make me laugh everyday in their class and its always something new in their class and I always look forward to going to their class to learn but to also chat with them as well because they make the day go by fast and they are always happy no matter what is going on and always have a positive attitude.
All my classes are my favorite because of the teachers and what we do, and the people in there. I love AP BIO because I get to learn more about life and science, and I get to chat with Mrs. O'Toole and Ms. Boswell, and it's also a small class, so it's very easy to move past work and get things done. I also love JMG (Jobs for Michigan Graduates) because Ms. Irmen teaches it and I get to chat with her too but I also love how we get guest speakers a lot and get to go on field trips a lot but most of all on how I learn to get a Job and what to write on my resume and what employers look for when hiring so it helps me prepare myself for the future. Lastly, ASL ( American Sign Language) is one of my favorites because I learn a new language and how to talk and communicate with those who are deaf and can't hear, so it's a good skill for me to have, and it's fun because we learn new words and sentences every day. Ms. Irmen also teaches that one, too.
In my free time, I like to read my bible and study it, and learn more about God. I also love to watch movies with my family and go out to eat or get drinks with my sister.
I participate in Soccer, and I also participate in the Virtue Club
After high school, I plan to finish my associate's degree at LMC next year because I am in the Early Middle College program and I am able to take college classes early on and get my associate's degree Next year, 2027. After that, I want to transfer to a 4-year university and get my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and become a mechanical engineer.
I am proud to be a WHS panther because this school has taught me so much and has brought many good memories to my life, and all the staff, like Ms. Powers, Mrs. Dawson, Mrs. Tyler, Mrs Richcreek, and many more, have helped me in my life and always put a smile on my face and they are always open to talk to you no matter what and they will always help you and guide you in anyway, WHS is a great and wonderful environment and school and I am so grateful and proud to be a Panther.

🌟 Kindness Week Is Coming to WHS! 🌟
December 9–13
Next week, our Panthers will kick off our annual Kindness Campaign Week — a full week focused on gratitude, connection, positivity, and making our school a place where everyone feels seen and valued.
Why do we do this?
Because kindness isn’t just an action — it’s a culture. When students and staff intentionally show care for one another, even in small ways, our halls feel lighter, our classrooms run smoother, and everyone feels a stronger sense of belonging. Kindness strengthens relationships, builds empathy, and reminds us that we’re all part of the same Panther community.
Each day next week will include a fun kindness theme, a special activity, and a simple challenge to help our students spread positivity throughout the building.
We can’t wait to share the joy with all of you. 💛
Let’s make it a week full of smiles, gratitude, and Panther Pride! 🐾

🌟 Panther Spotlight: CKH in Action! 🌟
This week in Ms. Irmen’s science classroom, students took learning to the next level as they designed investigations, applied the scientific method, and presented their findings to the class. But the highlight wasn’t just the science — it was the leadership and teamwork that came with it!
Ms. Irmen used a Capturing Kids’ Hearts strategy where one student presents and another is there for moral and emotional support.
Here’s how it works:
👉 One Student Presents: They share their experiment, process, or conclusions with the class.
👉 One Student Supports: They stand beside the presenter, offering encouragement, reassurance, and positive presence — and typically this supporting student is the next one to present.
This approach builds confidence, reduces anxiety, and fosters a culture where students lift each other up — exactly what we want to see at WHS.
Watching Panthers support one another while sharing their scientific discoveries was the perfect blend of CKH culture and real-world learning. 💡✨
Way to go, Ms. Irmen, for growing confident learners and kind leaders in your classroom! 🐾❤️

🎤 Student Leadership in Action at WHS 🇺🇸🐾
At Watervliet High School, student leadership shows up in so many forms—through service, kindness, hard work, and the courage to step forward when the moment calls. Last night, Senior Natalaya Desjardin demonstrated exactly what Panther leadership looks like as she beautifully performed the National Anthem at the game.
Natalaya is one of the hardest-working Panthers in our building. She leads with grace, humility, talent, and a relentless work ethic that inspires those around her. We are incredibly proud of her and grateful for the example she sets for our school community.
Please enjoy this special moment—Natalaya, thank you for sharing your voice and your leadership with all of us. ❤️🤍💙

Natalaya is one of the hardest-working Panthers in our building. She leads with grace, humility, talent, and a relentless work ethic that inspires those around her. We are incredibly proud of her and grateful for the example she sets for our school community.
Please enjoy this special moment—Natalaya, thank you for sharing your voice and your leadership with all of us. ❤️🤍💙

—------------------------------------------------------------
📣 Panthers, the Exam Countdown has begun! Semester 1 exams are coming up on January 14, 15, and 16 — and we are now down to 20 school days until exams begin!
That’s 21 school days to:
✨ Keep attendance strong
✨ Bring those grades up
✨ Earn your exam exemptions for 3 and a B or 5 and an A
✨ Stay focused and finish the semester proud
Any class that you fail at the end of this semester will have to be retaken in summer school or next year. Work to pass all of your classes now
After School Homework Help
There is after school help this week TODAY with Mr. Dimino, and Thursday with Mrs. Brant.
This week in 2nd hour, your teachers will be taking a few minutes to review what respect looks and sounds like in the classroom.
We’ve seen an increase in disrespect toward adults in the building, and that’s not who we are as Panthers. This week is about resetting, reminding ourselves of our expectations, and making sure WHS stays a place where students and staff treat each other with respect.
SENIORS: Our Jostens rep will be here on Dec. 8th in the gym lobby to collect all orders and money. The deadline to submit your orders is December 31st.
SOPHOMORES: Our Jostens rep will be here on Dec. 8th to collect your class ring orders and money. You should’ve received your class ring packets in your English classes.
Spirit Blankets: The elementary PTO is selling spirit blankets as a fundraiser! Blankets are 60x70 inch soft throws and cost $40. See Mrs. Tyler in the guidance office if you would like to purchase one!
Quiz Bowl Sign-Ups are OPEN: Do you like Jeopardy or are you the Weakest Link? Always wanted to buzz in and answer a question? Join Quiz Bowl and compete against other schools in Southwest Michigan. Please sign up for our NEW competitive Quiz Bowl team outside of Mr. Dimino’s room number 126. Practices will be Tuesday and Thursday, starting next week!

🏅 Sports Update
Our Boys' Varsity Basketball opened the season with a 51-40 home victory over Howardsville Christian on Tuesday night. Senior guard Caleb Jewell scored a game-high 19 pts, with 17 of those coming in the second half and 10 in the 4th Quarter. Freshman Hayden Billings contributed 13 pts and a number of big hustle plays in his first HS game. Phoenix Anderson & Remington Burke both scored 6 pts and Kyle Domingo with 5 pts rounded out the balanced scoring for the Panthers. Watervliet travels to South Haven for the SAC Lakeshore opener on Friday.
🇺🇸 The Pledge of Allegiance
At this time, we ask you to stand.
The privilege of this day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Let us honor and respect their efforts by standing, placing our hands over our hearts, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. If you are wearing a hat, please remove it.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Those are all of our announcements for today.
Make it a great day or not, Panthers — the choice is yours! 🐾

🙌🐾 High Five Friday at WHS! 🐾🙌
Last Friday, our staff celebrated our very first High Five Friday, and it was a HUGE hit! Teachers spent the day covered in yellow stickers as students and staff shared high fives, smiles, and positive energy throughout the halls.
It wasn’t just fun—it was a meaningful way to live out our Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) values. High fives build connection, strengthen relationships, and remind every student that they are seen and valued.
The laughter, the enthusiasm, and the sense of community were contagious. What an amazing way to end the week and celebrate the heart of WHS! 💛
Way to go, Panthers—and get ready, because High Five Friday is here to stay! 🙌🐾

The High School Student Council’s food drive was a huge success! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our students and staff, we collected and donated over 1,100 food items to the Living Water Food Pantry right here in Watervliet.
This project was a powerful example of student leadership, compassion, and living out our Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) values—service, kindness, and taking care of our community. Our students didn’t just collect food; they showed what it means to lead with heart.
Way to go, Panthers! 💛🐾
Together, we make a difference.
