ho is the oldest athlete you can think of? Do you know any people who are 90 years old and over, and still regularly participate in a sport? Well, with this sport, you’ll be able to do that. It doesn’t matter if you’re short, tall, or have terrible joints. The main quality necessary is decent eyesight. Trap, skeet, and sporting clays is something that you could participate in for the rest of your life. That’s the idea behind the Viking Clay-Breakers, coming this February, under the guidance of soon-tobe-Coach Joshua Nelson, currently a Chemistry teacher. Shot gun sports and target disciplines have been a personal, joyful passion of Mr. Nelson for many years. In order to expand this life-long discipline and to build strong relationships with his students outside of the lab, he has been looking for ways to introduce these sports into WLHS. Wisco is one of the few high schools in Wisconsin without a shooting team. Now, with official endorsement from, and an invitation to join, the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP), Mr. Nelson is ready to launch this new club. According to Mr. Nelson, this activity allows students to participate in Christian fellowship and witness their faith in public by their actions “in the context of a supervised, structured, supportive environment that emphasizes self-discipline and focus.” He wishes to train his students, through this “no-cut” sport,
The New School Year into becoming coachable, humble, and responsible Christians. According to current plans, when the season starts, practices will be held at Boxhorn Gun Club in Muskego, every Tuesday from 5:15 to 7:15 p.m. In order to participate, students need to bring their own 12-gauge shotgun, should have taken the State of Wisconsin Hunter Safety Education program, and will have to pay for equipment. Any inquiries should be made to Mr. Joshua Nelson (josh.nelson@ wlhs.org).
Kindness Crew
The Kindness Crew is an idea that has been budding since 2019 under the guidance of Mrs. Jennifer Hennen. They are part of Wisco Witnesses in the World’s Jerusalem Committee which serves within WLHS. The idea for Kindness Crew came from a group of students who had a goal to spread much-needed kindness to the Wisco student body. Ms. Hennen hopes that students realize that being kind to one another is more than just being “nice.” It’s also one of the simplest ways to follow the example of Jesus. It’s free, easy to give, and needed by all. Kindness is pretty much the best thing to give and to receive. The primary goal of the Kindness Crew is to sow kindness in the student body. They also hope to nurture an environment where kids look forward to fun activities even during challenging times. Anyone who wants to be part of something bigger should join. The Crew always welcomes new members through WWW. Email Mrs. Hennen (jen.hennen@wlhs.org) or talk to her in room 128 for more information.
