WACO NHS

New members recently inducted into the WACO chapter of the National Honor Society included several Crawfordsville area students: Grace Coble, Drew Diers, Jonah Egli, Lennon McClanahan, Kaylee Shelman and Zach Schmitz. Congratulations to the NHS members!

Also, congratulations go out to graduating senior Layne Kiefer, son of Robin and Tim Kiefer who was selected to be on the All-Union Senior Class of 2021 in the Southeast Iowa Union. He is one of the outstanding students chosen by school administrators. While all are in the Top 10 academically in each of their classes, they are not necessarily the ones with the highest grade-point averages. They are chosen for their accomplishments in the classrooms, in school activities and the community.

Layne, however, ranks first in his class of 24 at WACO. He has been active in band, orchestra, student council, National Honor Society and 4-H and he volunteers at the Wayland Mennonite's Food Pantry. His future plans are to get a bachelor's degree in International Studies and his career goal is to work for the U.S. State Department.
