The Wellington Middle School held their WINTER SPORTS & ACTIVITIES Awards Assembly Friday morning in the Little Theater.
Basketball, Wrestling, Cheerleading, Scholars Bowl and Spelling Bee participants were recognized and honored with words and in most cases, certificates, letters and bars.
The Kansas All-Star Scholars Fund provides a one-time $1000 scholarship award for Sumner County and Mulvane HS students who will be enrolled full-time in post-secondary classes in the fall, following high school graduation.

The WHS Lady Crusader's 2017-2018 season came to a close Wednesday evening - 4 young ladies that Lady Knight and Lady Crusader fans have followed since the 2012-2013 school year, saw their last action on the court as WHS basketball players. Thanks for the adventures Avery Rusk, Shayland French, Mekenna Adams and Gracie Fink! These "4" have to have as many or more "career victories" on the hard court than Lady Crusaders who have preceded. If not, gotta be close!
The Pioneer League Math Relays held at Wellington Middle School on Tuesday, resulted in strong finishes for Wellington's 7th and 8th grade squads!
As a team, the 7th graders finished 2nd, just behind El Dorado and just ahead of Ark City! The 7th grade team members included Banks Hinshaw, Daniel Garver, Keaton Hartman, Jaxson Irey and Riley Trowbridge.
The individual champion for the 7th grade teams was Gage Patty from El Dorado.
A nice sendoff assembly was held Wednesday morning at WHS, not only to honor the departing Lady Crusader Basketball squad who is appearing in their 3rd consecutive State 4A Tournament this evening vs Labette County! (@ Salina - 6:30PM), but also pay tribute to this year's State 4A Wrestlers, 2 of 3 who were present at the assembly. (Ian Groom, Blake Bales and not present, Matt McComb) Also spotlighted, the WHS Powerlifting team and coach.
USD 353 Choral Director, Jessica Coldwell, presented her KNIGHT and CRUSADER Choirs in concert Tuesday evening at Wellington High School and much to the delight of those within hearin' distance! Superb performances by both groups, singing some rather difficult selections too.
On Friday, March 9, the National Honor Society Crusader Chapter at Wellington High School will be hosting a blood drive through American Red Cross.
