Exploring Lunar Eclipses Through Hands-On Learning
Students at WCP recently explored the fascinating science behind lunar eclipses through a hands-on experiment in library class. They learned what an eclipse is and discovered how a lunar eclipse occurs when Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth’s shadow to fall across the Moon.
To demonstrate this process, students used a flashlight to represent the Sun, a globe to represent Earth, and a bowl to represent the Moon. By carefully positioning each object, they were able to observe how the light created a shadow on the “Moon,” just as it does during an actual lunar eclipse.
This engaging activity allowed students to see science in action while making connections between classroom learning and the world around them. "Hands-on experiments like this make learning exciting, memorable, and fun," stated Ms. Karen!

Last Friday, our marching band, cheerleaders, and football players traded their traditional maroon for purple in support of a special member of the War Eagle family, Mrs. Pam Inman, affectionately known as “Nan,” who is currently battling cancer.
Nan has been a faithful supporter of our band and our students, and this was one small way our War Eagle family could come together to remind her that she is not fighting alone. We’re with you, Nan!
A special thank you to Nan’s granddaughter, Austyn Inman, a member of our Student Media Intern Team, for capturing and providing the photos from Friday night.

Choices Matter is coming to West Carroll! On September 16, WCJSHS students will participate in the Choices Matter Program, presented in partnership with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.
Students will hear from guest speaker Brittany Leedham, who was just 17 years old when she learned firsthand how our choices, and the choices of those around us, can have a lasting impact on the lives of others. Now an adult, Brittany travels to share her personal story of tragedy, resilience, and perseverance in hopes of helping young people make choices that can prevent similar tragedies.
We are grateful for the opportunity to bring a powerful, real-world message to our students and encourage them to think about something that truly matters: the choices we make today can impact our lives and the lives of others for years to come.

Last week, our 8th grade students traveled to Jackson to participate in the Pathways2Possibilities Career Expo! Students had the opportunity to explore a variety of career fields through hands-on exhibits and activities, giving them a closer look at the skills, careers, and opportunities available to them after high school.
These opportunities help students begin connecting their interests and strengths to possible career paths. We’re excited to see which possibilities spark their interest and where their exploration takes them next!

Our art class lost their shoes! Don’t worry, it’s all part of Mrs. Foster's lesson! Our freshman Art students are working on contour line drawings of their shoes, slowing down to notice the lines, shapes, and small details we often overlook in everyday objects. This project helps students strengthen fundamental drawing and observation skills while learning that inspiration for art can be found just about anywhere, even on their own two feet! We can’t wait to see the finished pieces!

What do you want to be when you grow up? It is a question that students at WCP are beginning to explore in guidance classes through a K-2 Career Education curriculum titled, What’s Next?
Guided by Rocky, a fun and engaging character in the curriculum, students are learning about careers and the many different jobs people may have throughout their lives. With so many career choices in the world, students are beginning to discover how their own interests and strengths can help them find a career that may be right for them.
The week began with an exciting and interactive video titled “Who Am I?” Students had fun using clues to guess different careers while learning about the important roles people play in the workplace and their communities.
This week, students focused on two careers that may be especially appealing to those who enjoy working with numbers and solving problems. Through engaging lessons and activities, students are learning that math skills can open the door to a variety of future opportunities.
Career exploration gives students an early opportunity to learn more about themselves and the world of work as they begin thinking about the exciting question: What’s next? (tn.gov)

Our home field will look a little different this season. In remembrance of three Eagles whose jerseys have been retired, the 61st, 62nd, and 67th yard-line tick marks on the home sideline have been painted maroon, creating a permanent reminder of the young men who wore those numbers.
#61 Blake Ray
#62 Isaac Mueller
#67 Jay Rogers
The War Eagle Football Family was especially honored to have Jay Rogers’ brother, Daniel Rogers, and nephew, Jay Cruz Rogers, join in painting the 67th mark in memory of Jay. Tonight, as our Eagles take the field, these maroon marks will serve as a reminder of those who came before them and the legacies that will always remain a part of West Carroll Football. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.
