Warhawk Culture - Community

Last week, I shared the importance of family, our Warhawk Family. Little did I know that the "crazy" week ahead would put that concept to the ultimate test. As we navigate the aftermath of the storm, one thing has become abundantly clear: Community is the thread that holds us all together.

While the weather was unpredictable, your spirit was not. I saw our community weave itself together through selfless acts that define who we are:

Coming together to help a Warhawk family facing tragedy right before the storm hit.
Neighbors clearing driveways and sidewalks to ensure our bus stops are safe so we can reunite next week.
Our amazing Warhawk staff members delivering food bags to those in our Warhawk family who needed a helping hand.

These aren't just chores or tasks; they are the moments that truly show what it means to be a family. They connect directly back to our Blueprint—reminding us that we are stronger, safer, and more resilient when we act as one. We are Better Together!

I am proud of us every day, but this week reminded me just how lucky we are to belong to this community.

WINGS UP !

Mrs. Sayre

Principal

Our Warhawk Blueprint outlines what we believe, how we behave and outcomes we hope to achieve together at WCHS. These beliefs are our guidepost that provide alignment in all we do.

Key Club - Food Drive Feb 2-6, 2026

Our Key Club is hosting the annual WARM Food Drive from February 2nd – 6th. This isn't just a collection; it’s a friendly competition with a mission. We are facing off against WNHS and WSHS to see which school can collect the most items for those in need. After a narrow second-place finish last year, our Warhawks are fired up to bring the trophy back to Central!

How You Can Help

We are collecting all non-perishable items, but WARM has identified several high-need items that our families can help provide:

Pantry Essentials Personal & Home Care

Flour & Pancake Mix
Toilet Paper & Paper Towels
Coffee (Regular & Decaf)
Laundry & Dishwasher Detergent
Rice Sides & Broth
Body Wash, Soap, Shampoo & Conditioner

Student Incentives

Donations will be collected during Fly Time. To celebrate our commitment to being "Better Together," the Fly Time class that collects the most points (1 point per item) will win a donut breakfast!

HB 123 Violence Prevention Lesson - Feb 4, 2026

On Wednesday, February 4, 2026, our students will participate in the state-mandated HB 123 Violence Prevention lesson during an extended Flytime.

Ohio law requires schools to provide evidence-based instruction on suicide awareness and violence prevention. The goal of this lesson is to empower our students with the tools they need to keep themselves and their peers safe.

Lesson Key Topics

The curriculum for the 2025-26 school year focuses on three primary areas:

Recognizing Warning Signs: Identifying signals from individuals who may pose a threat to themselves or others.
Taking Action: Understanding the critical importance of taking every threat seriously and seeking adult help immediately.
Reporting: How to report dangerous, violent, or harmful activity, including the use of our district’s anonymous reporting system.

Opt-Out Information

If you wish to opt your child out of this lesson, please complete this HB 123 OPT OUT FORM by Tuesday, February 3.
