Panther Print for Parents 🐾

The Rotary Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor is proud and happy to again host the only all school track meet in Berrien County on May 3, 2024. Along with the track meet, we are offering the opportunity to senior track athletes to apply for the Rotary Track Scholarship. We need your assistance to share the attached application form to those qualified athletes in your district. Also attached you will find the Information Sheet regarding the scholarship as well as the Recommendation form which needs to be completed by you or the track coach.

Please contact me via email if you have any questions. (Note: I will not have access to email messages from March 5-12. I will respond to your inquiries on March 13.)

Thank you,

WHS has an after school homework help program with certified teachers and NHS members assisting students on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 4:15. If your child needs a quiet space to work or extra assistance, encourage him/her to stop by.

The Geometry students used protractors and tape measures to find the measurement of 2 sides or angles of right triangles that they saw in the auditorium or gym. They used these measurements to practice applying trigonometric functions.

We had a great guest speaker in Chemistry and Astronomy this week. Kenneth Cecire from

Notre Dame’s QuarkNet center came to help us understand subatomic particles. We began

what we call the master class, which involves high particle physics/chemistry research. We

learned about CERN, and how a fixed target experiment finds subatomic particles. The

students learned the concept of the beam experiment by participating in a marble experiment.

They used one marble to simulate the beam pipe with three marble targets at the other side of

the lab table. They then proceeded to conduct four rounds of 10 trials each to see how difficult it

is to find subatomic particles (Hit one of the three). We then created a class histogram of the

“hits”. Once the histogram was done we then dove into math to find the diameter of the particle.

The last step was to create an all day comparison of hits using a mean/deviation graph.

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024 the Watervliet Treble Choir and the Watervliet

Concert Choir participated in the MSVMA District 6 Choral Festival. The festival was

held at The Chapel, in St. Joseph, Michigan.

Each choir was given a score for their performance as well as their sight reading ability.

Both choirs received wonderful comments from the judges for their amazing discipline,

dedication, and their beautiful tone and blend.

They earned Division 1 ratings (the highest possible rating) qualifying them for State

Festival and they represented our choral program, school, and community with great

Panther Pride!

On February 15th, the high school and middle school bands put on their Pre-Festival Concert. Bands performed their three festival pieces and got feedback from a guest "judge". Many ensembles also performed their Solo & Ensemble pieces again for the home crowd.

On February 23rd, Marissa Lovell, Sophie Grear, Sydnee Enders, and Hayden Arnosky attended the SMC Flute Clinic Day. These four spent the day with flutists Jessica Wu and Dr. Anna DeCou learning all things flute-related. The day culminated with a concert featuring the 30 member flute choir and the SMC Jazz & Symphonic Bands!

The High School Band will be attending MSBOA District VI Band & Orchestra festival on Tuesday, March 5th at 1:45 pm in the Paw Paw High School auditorium. The band will be evaluated on three prepared pieces (a march, a piece off the required list, and a selected piece) as well as sight-reading. All are welcome to attend this free event.

WHS Panthers got 12 pieces into the KIA High School Show. This is the highest number WHS has EVER gotten into this elite show.

Here’s a list of our students who were accepted to this year’s exhibit:

• Claire Moore
• Nicole Bender
• Angelica Daisy
• Taylor Green
• Hailey Hutchens
• Riley Preston x 2
• Hector M. Salguero
• Addison Smith
• Lyvia Summers
• Courtney Van Lente
• Susannah Weckwerth

There will be an in-person award ceremony on Friday, March 29 starting at 6:00 pm at the KIA. The HSAS exhibit will open to the public at the conclusion of the ceremony.

The opening weekend of the exhibition (March 30 and 31) is a free weekend at the KIA for everyone. You, the artist, will get free admission to the KIA during gallery open hours for the length of the show (March 30 - April 28); just let the person at the Information Desk know your name and that you are in the HSAS.

The juror for the 2024 HSAS is Professor Faisal Abdu’Allah, Ph.D. Faisal is the Professor of Printmaking; Chazen Family Distinguished Chair in Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was part of KIA’s “Unmasking Masculinity for the 21st Century” exhibit in 2022.

Thank you to Mrs. Mosher who scheduled and supervised an optional field trip for welding to the Cook Power Plant in Bridgman in Tuesday. Students have also had the opportunity to attend trips this month to SMC for welding and robotics day and also visited Stryker to learn about the medical manufacturing field.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form completed by current and prospective college students to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. Each year, WHS makes a major push for as many seniors as possible to complete their FAFSA based on the benefits listed below:

• Filing the FAFSA is the only way for students to find out if they are eligible for the Michigan Achievement Scholarship or other state financial aid.

• FAFSA is the only way to unlock the Pell Grant, other federal financial aid, and most institutional and community-based financial aid.

• The completion rate in Michigan for the 2023-24 FAFSA year is currently at 53.7%, compared to 52.3% at the same time in the 2022-23 cycle.

• Michigan currently ranks 30th out of 50 states in the percentage of high school graduates filing the FAFSA.

• FAFSA completion rates are lower, on average, in high-poverty districts than in low-poverty districts.

• In Michigan, approximately 51% of students are eligible for Pell Grants, meaning over 20,000 seniors who may have been awarded a Pell Grant did not receive one.

• The average Pell Grant awarded to a student from the class of 2022 was $4,539. Michigan left over $93.5 million in unused federal financial aid on the table last year.

• FAFSA completion is strongly associated with postsecondary enrollment: Nationally, 92% of seniors who completed the FAFSA enrolled by the November following graduation vs. 51% who did not complete a FAFSA.

• Low-income seniors are 127% more likely to enroll in postsecondary education directly after high school, compared to peers who do not complete the form.

This year, 77% of the seniors in the Class of 2024 have already completed a FAFSA! This is a significant increase over the number of FAFSAs completed the same time last year by the Class of 2023. Several factors have contributed to this increase:

• Mr. Christopher Coburn, the Watervliet/Coloma adviser from the Michigan College Access Network has been meeting with seniors and their families in order to offer assistance with FAFSA completion. He is able to meet with students during the school day and has also offered a weekend session for parents.

• WHS received funding for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Completion Challenge Grant. In collaboration with the the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) and the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN), the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is implemented the FAFSA Completion Challenge Grant to encourage districts to support students in completing the FAFSA form as part of planning for students’ post-secondary education. Review below for district eligibility and application details.

• Students have also been recognized through social media, throughout the school, and in the Panther Parent newsletter for the completion of their FAFSA. On Feb 23rd, any senior with a completed FAFSA had the opportunity to pie the teacher/staff member of their choice in the face at a school wide assembly.

It is the aim that ALL WHS Panthers have the opportunity to pursue the post secondary training of their choice in furthering their education and income potential. The FAFSA is the first step towards realizing those future dreams and goals!

I live with my mom and step dad here in Watervliet. I have a step sister who attends South Haven schools and is also a freshman. I also spend time with my Dad and stepmom who live in Kalamazoo. And I have 3 siblings who go to Hartford public schools and 2 sisters who live down in Tennessee as well.

My favorite teacher has been Mrs Brush because I love singing and she is a good teacher. I participate in choir.

I like to hang out with my family and friends in my free time. I am proud to be a WHS Panther because I love all the teachers and the school and they have taught me a lot.

After high school, I want to attend cosmetology school to do hair and nails

My mom's side of the family includes my mom, stepdad, and my younger sisters-- Mattie and Mickinley. My dad's side includes my dad, step mom, her three kids and my brother, Rhett. My favorite teacher has been Mr. Grear because he's very chill and just the best at his job. My favorite class has been art because I love to be creative and bring my imagination to life. I'm not in any sports at the moment, but love to be active in the summer. In my free time I like to shop, cook, hunt, listen to music, and do stuff with friends and family. I'm proud to be a Watervliet Panther because there's lots of opportunities for my education. After high school I'm not too sure what I'm going to do but I want to travel and move somewhere warm.

My family consists of my mom, dad, and two sisters. My older sister, Morgan, is a senior. My younger sister, Miranda, is an eighth grader in the middle school. I don't have a favorite teacher-they are all really great. I ran cross country last fall. During the winter, I played on the JV girls basketball team. In the spring, I plan to run track. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with family and being active outside. I am proud to be a WHS panther because of the amazing people here. After high school, I am not sure of all my plans, however, I would like to attend a college somewhere in Michigan.

My family consists of my Mom, Brother, and my Sister. My favorite teacher is Mrs. O'Toole that teaches biology. She genuinely makes the class fun and always helps me whenever I need, She also creates a very understanding environment for our class. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and taking walks on the beach. I'm proud to be a WHS Panther because I love all the educational opportunities the school provides. After high school, I would like to attend college. I'm not exactly sure where yet, but I aim for a bachelor's degree to become a Cardiac Sonographer.

My family is my Mom, Dad, two sisters (Lyvia and Lucy), my two cats and three dogs. My favorite teacher is Mrs. Sibley because she is a very real person and will tell you how it is. Her class is always fun and she knows how to joke around, but still get things done. My favorite class is my Algebra 2 class because I like math and I get to spend the hour with interesting people. I am in choir and I work while I am not in school. In my free time I like to read, write, sleep, and hang out with friends and family. In my future I plan on becoming an author or doing something in the math field. I am proud to be a WHS Panther because the school is very welcoming and provides lots of opportunities for you.

My family consists of my mom, dad, and three siblings: one younger brother and two older sisters. My favorite teacher would have to be Mrs. Sibley. I have had her as a teacher for the last two years for two different classes. When needing help with something even if it isn’t her job or responsibility she is willing to help others understand what is happening. My favorite class would have to be one of dual enrollment classes which is Nutrition and Dietary Therapy. I find it interesting to learn about what the body should consume and the right amount. I’m currently not doing any sports or clubs. In my free time, I like to either go to the gym or spend time with my family. I am proud to be a Panther because of the opportunities they have given us to an early start on college education. After high school, I would like to attend college for a degree to be a nurse practitioner. Eventually, I would like to specialize as an orthopedic nurse practitioner.

Hi my name is Amya Harvell. My family consists of my mom and my two sisters. My older sister is Madison, she's 19 and currently working to get her CNA license. My younger sister's name is Allyse. She's 12 and goes to north school. It would be unfair to pick a favorite. The teachers I have now are caring and inspiring and have shown it in separate, but more ways than one. My favorite subject would have to be Yearbook. In this class, I've learned how to take amazing photos and have built a family of my peers and my teacher. In my free time, I enjoy either reading or spending time with my friends. You can also catch me on the soccer field after school some days, preparing for this season. What makes me the most proud to be a Panther would be some of the amazing members of our staff. With their efforts to not only be their teachers to their students but also people they can depend on. After graduation, I plan on attending Lake Michigan College.

This week, all 3rd hour teachers will be reviewing the expectations for all students in the hallways. Please review these expectations with your child for the coming week!

Dear Watervliet High School Parent: February 27, 2024

Recently a small number of students have been disciplined for vaping or being in possession of a vape on school property at Watervliet High School.

When a student is vaping on school property, not only does it put the student’s health at risk, but it also violates both WPS policy and Michigan State Law.

Our #1 priority at WHS is your child’s safety. In response to the vaping that has occurred, WHS is offering a parent informational session on the dangers of vaping on Monday, March 25th at 6:00 PM in the media center courtesy of the Berrien County Health Department. This presentation is about the dangers of marijuana and vaping. The presentation has been successful in other school districts in our area. We encourage you to attend this presentation.

In the meantime, we ask that you please have a conversation with your child about the dangers of vaping. To support you, you will find information on the backside of this letter that was accessed from the Berrien County Health Department.

Thank you for your attention to this concern.

If my parents and other adults in my life can smoke, then I should be able to smoke too.

Current research shows that marijuana has a negative impact on brain development and the mental health of young people, including anxiety, problem-solving, and memory.

Young people should abstain or wait to start using marijuana. Besides, it is illegal for anyone under 21. Learn more about the marijuana laws.

Marijuana is natural and healthy! I’m glad I can relieve stress using this outlet instead of alcohol or other drugs.
Marijuana smoke can damage your lungs and cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) just like tobacco. People who smoke marijuana inhale deeper and hold the smoke for longer, which increases tar exposure when compared to cigarettes.

The ingredients and strengths of marijuana are not exactly the same from plant to plant. Right now, there’s no way to know for sure what kind and how much of a chemical you’re getting from home-grown plants.

Additionally, levels of THC in marijuana continue to increase. In 1995, THC (full name tetrahydrocannabinol, marijuana’s main psychoactive ingredient) was 4%, and in 2014 the average THC level rose to 12%.

With a vape, I won’t have the negative impacts of smoking so I don’t have to worry.
While vaping may seem healthier than smoking, you still inhale chemicals in your lungs that may cause respiratory issues. There are higher concentrations of THC when you are dabbing or using hash, and vaping may produce a more dangerous high than smoking.

Well, if smoking or vaping isn’t good for me, I can always eat brownies or something.
Unfortunately edibles have their own risks too. The delay in the high caused by THC can cause people to ingest too much marijuana, which may result in a prolonged high and that could include hallucinations, paranoia, panic attacks, or trigger a psychotic episode.

My classmates are all talking about how marijuana isn’t harmful and how everyone uses marijuana.
The way that people think about the health risks of marijuana has changed a lot over the years, partially because of the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana is also one of the first drugs a teen may be offered, usually before the age of 15.

Twenty five percent of high school students think that half or more of the students in their grade used marijuana sometime in the past month. However, 70% of high school students in Berrien County have not tried marijuana. While you may think many of your peers are using cannabis products, the statistics show this is not the case.

The bottom line is just because marijuana is legal doesn’t mean that it isn’t harmful! Many harmful substances, including alcohol and cigarettes, are available to the public. Many negative effects of marijuana don’t show up until later in life. Any kind of smoking causes lung damage, and marijuana smoke is just as harmful as nicotine smoke. More immediately, marijuana can influence mood disorders like anxiety and depression, which can affect performance in school and sports.

I was born in Westland Michigan, but am a navy brat. I grew up traveling the world and lived in three countries and 8 states by the time I was 13. At 13 we settled down in Goshen Indiana, where I finished my education and finished high school in the top five of my class. I earned a full ride scholarship to IU where I earned my bachelor's degree in teaching with a concentration in science with majors in: Earth, Space, Physics, Chemistry and Physical Science. I then went on after a couple years of teaching to earn my masters in administration from Ball State University. During this time I was also working on my masters in astrophysics at Notre Dame, and continue to work and conduct research in particle physics as well as astrophysics. I am privileged enough to continue my research for the past 17 years and get to invite a current Junior to the research project every year over the summer months. They are able to not only get paid, but they earn college credit as well as learn about all areas of physics research. I am currently teaching astronomy and chemistry and enjoy every moment I get with the students as they are extremely eager to learn and are so caring and attentive. I am proud to be a WHS Panther because it feels like family! All my students and families have always been so kind to myself and family and I see it in their actions in the community as well! This community is full of love.

I enjoy camping, hiking, going to the lake, fishing and well just everything outdoors. I also enjoy binge watching shows with my kids and just having family time as we know it all goes so quick. I am a mother of four, Conor 19, Mason 17, Finly 7, and Bella 5. They are my world and keep me very busy throughout the week. We love playing board and card games as a group and spend a lot of time cooking as a family. You may not know that I once accidentally set my college lab on fire (I still say it was my lab partner...lol), or exploded pure potassium in a creek in college;-) In all I am a nerd of nerds and love every moment of life.

On Friday night at Watervliet-Coloma varsity basketball games, the Panthers presented a plaque to Tom Gear in recognition of his many years of service to Watervliet Panther Athletics. Tom has been announcing at varsity events for the Panthers since 1997. During that time, he has announced for every sport, although his primary role has been as football and basketball announcer. Athletic Director Ken Dietz says, “The Watervliet Athletic Department is extremely fortunate to have someone like Tom who is so dedicated to our students, athletic program, and community.” Panther Athletics looks forward to having Tom in the announcer’s seat at our events for many more years. Thank you, Tom, and Congratulations.

WHS Junior females learned more about this opportunity on Monday morning. Check it out!
