WTMHS Mid-Term Reports
Issued on Skyward
on Friday, February 7th
These were two activities in Mrs. Shepard's classes introducing the economic principle of supply. To understand supply, students need to think like producers and understand their motives, and why they make the economic decisions that they do.
(Pictures of groups sitting) The students were split into groups and each group operated as an independent firm looking to make a profit. The firms had to navigate the fixed and incurring variable costs associated with creating paper hats and generate as much revenue as possible. Students then solved to calculate their profit.
(Pictures of students standing) In a separate activity, students simulated the economic principle of Diminishing Marginal Returns (the decrease in productivity per worker that eventually occurs by continuously adding one more worker). Each team added one more worker per round to write the word "WHEAT" as many times as possible in the alloted time. After a certain amount of workers were added, students were able to identify when it became inefficient for additional workers to be added.

This year’s girls’ basketball sectional games will be played at Thea Bowman Academy this week.

If a student is interested in riding, and has their parents permission, they may sign up during lunch Tuesday and Wednesday. Any parents wanting to ride along are welcome, but will need to be signed up ahead of time by contacting Mrs. Mateer or added to the list at lunch time.

Washington Township received an IHSAA Exemplary Behavior Report for the hospitality and positive atmosphere provided during last week's PCC Girls Basketball tournament.
Jonah Hasse served as our student host, directing teams to their locker rooms, assisting spectators finding their fan sections and working in the concession stand helping customers.
For this we have honored Jonah with an Exemplary Sportsmanship Pin representing and being the face of all of the many volunteers that worked the PCC tournament.

The Student Athletic Advisory Committee is recognizing Varsity Basketball player Kyle Banker as Athlete of the Week. Kyle shows strong leadership skills and has great talent on the court, playing a big role in the team's near-perfect record this season. During the final round of PCC championship last week, Kyle didn't give up on himself or his team, continuing to give his best effort throughout the game. Kyle's recognition by the NWI Times as Athlete of the Week is a testament to his abilities as well.

The Washington Township Athletic Department would like to thank all of the staff, students, parents, and community members who helped make this year's girl's PCC Tournament a resounding success. None of it would have been possible without the help of our ticket takers, concession stand workers, hospitality room hosts, scorekeepers, clock workers, water girls, trainers, announcers, and school resource officers. This is a large undertaking with 6 games being played over the course of 3 days. A fellow PCC school filed an Exemplary Sportsmanship Report with the IHSAA complementing the exciting, welcoming atmosphere that was created for all players and fans. Washington Township was honored to host this year's tournament and looks forward to doing so again in the future!
