The WHS Art Club would like to thank their local, regional, and state partners for making recent mural projects possible. Thanks to partnerships forged with the Ohio Arts Council, J. Floyd Dixon Fund, and Make Wellston Beautiful, student-crafted murals have been painted on the Manring Building, The Shops on First (Daisy’s Hometown Coffee and Randi’s Wildflower Boutique), Brennan Family Pizzeria, and the Blamer Field Dugout.

Please enjoy pictures of the finished products below. Thanks again to all who were involved in this terrific community project.

The ODNR grant-funded improvements at the 327 Ballfields are moving forward. To continue the progress, we request all ball practices be held at Cecil Arthur Field and Blamer Field until further notice.

This is to allow construction crews to use heavy equipment in the parks without worries of citizens being in these areas.

Previously scheduled baseball and softball tournaments will take place at the 327 Complex as scheduled.

We also ask the public to be mindful when visiting the park to fish. Please do not drive or park vehicles in any area under construction. Thank you for your understanding.

Vision to Learn is a nonprofit organization that operates a traveling Vision Van with an eye doctor’s office on board. The van offers all preregistered students free vision exams and, if needed, an opportunity to order free glasses.

Vision to Learn said it best: We think our students are pretty “spec”tacular, and we want to help them see themselves and the world around them that way too!
