The Northern Lights illuminated Waverly City Schools last night, as captured in this stunning image by Megan Smith, the art teacher at Waverly High School. Channel 10 WBNS TV News stated in an article yesterday, “A series of strong solar flares led to bursts of solar energy known as coronal mass ejections (CME). That energy is traveling fast through space and is expected to arrive at Earth over the next couple of days. When this energy hits Earth, it causes disruptions in the magnetic field and causes the aurora borealis.” What a fantastic site to see in Pike County, Ohio!

Jocey brought boundless energy and imagination to our drama club. Before Jocey fell ill, she requested to perform 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse—and even before we chose it, she had already written her own unique list of survival strategies, full of wit and creativity.
"We selected the play with Jocey in mind, and after she was no longer able to audition, it was reimagined as Jocey’s 10 ways to survive—a tribute woven with her humor, her voice, and her spirit. She was looking forward to watching her story come to life on stage.
After Jocey’s passing, the production was initially canceled out of respect. However, at her family's heartfelt request, we are moving forward with the performance in her honor. They shared that Jocey would have wanted the show to go on—and we agree. Now, we perform not just for fun, but as a tribute to Jocey’s spirit, creativity, and love for the stage. Let’s pack the house for Jocey.
We don’t just perform a play. We celebrate a remarkable young person whose creativity continues to inspire us. Thank you for being here and helping us fill the theater with the love and laughter Jocey gave so freely. " Drama Director Mrs. Megan Smith
