On Wednesday, some Watseka students got the honor of being part of IL State Senator Chris Balkema’s Youth Advisory Council in Pontiac. They all got to write a bill that was then voted on by all students. The winning bill will be argued in the spring by the students to see if it passes through the Senate. It was a fun day of social networking and learning more about government.

On Friday, Mrs. Bandur’s Civic classes got to spend the afternoon at the Watseka courthouse. They got to listen to a number of people who work at the courthouse. Sheriff Perzee took them on a tour of the jail and his office. Then Bill Cheatum, the Coroner, discussed what he does for his job and answered questions. Greg Barrett, a probation officer, also talked about his job. Lastly, they got to listen to some real court cases and see how the judicial system works.

🎨 Congratulations, Brooklyn Gioja! 🎨
At the end of the 2024–2025 school year, Brooklyn’s artwork was selected to be part of the Illinois Art Education Association’s (IAEA) 2025–2026 Statewide Student Art Show! Yesterday, Brooklyn was honored—along with 44 other talented students from across Illinois—at the IAEA Student Art Show Award Ceremony held at the Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg. WCHS art teacher, Robyn Butler, proudly accepted the award on Brooklyn’s behalf. Brooklyn’s piece will now travel throughout the state for the next nine months as part of this prestigious exhibition. 👏🏻 Way to go, Brooklyn! Your creativity is representing WCHS across Illinois!
