Two awesome things happened at Massillon Rotary today!🧡🐯🖤
🇺🇸Our WHS Assistant Principal, Renee Parr, presented about Washington High School’s Purple Star designation in honor of 9/11.
📸And a big congratulations to Abbi Kanipe and Izzy Daniska, who were recognized as Rotary Students of the Month for their work as Yearbook editors! They were joined by their advisor, Alyssa Meissner!
We are so proud of our Tigers representing Massillon with excellence in the community!





This morning we kicked off the first-ever Tiger Invitational and welcomed 18 teams!🐯
Before the teams teed off, everyone paused for a moment of silence to honor 9/11. The National Anthem followed, beautifully performed on trumpet by Sean Monigold.
A meaningful start to a great day on the course! 🧡🖤
Aiden Koehler shot a low 9 hole for a school record 5 under 31 on his back 9 to come in second place overall! The boys team came in 5th overall!

As part of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts training our teachers experienced at the start of the year, many are using strategies to build strong classroom communities!
In Mrs. Spino's classroom, students worked together to create a Social Contract by answering four important questions:
1️⃣How do you want to be treated by the teacher?
2️⃣How do you want to be treated by each other?
3️⃣How do you think the teacher wants to be treated by you?
4️⃣How do you want to treat each other when there is conflict?
This process encourages respect, responsibility, and collaboration which helps students take ownership of how they learn and grow together.🧡🐯

The Massillon Tiger Swing Band and GlenOak band also joined together in a powerful performance of a patriotic song!
THANK YOU to everyone who came together in showing appreciation for those who protect and serve.❤️💙
