Wynford Local Schools

The Wynford Student Council Winter Homecoming Dance for tomorrow night, February 7th has been cancelled due to low scheduled attendance. While we were looking forward to the event, there was not enough student interest to hold the dance as planned. We appreciate everyone who signed up and encourage students to stay tuned for future events and activities sponsored by the HS student council. Thank you!

Wynford is closed today, Friday, February 6, 2026.

Wynford is on a 2 hour delay for Friday, February 6, 2026.

These 5 Fifth Graders - Erika Reber, Paxton Zornes, Ella Greenick, Simon Woods, Barrett Butler - represented Wynford very well today during the Crawford/Morrow Virtual Spelling Bee. Crawford and Morrow counties held their annual spelling bee this morning in a spirited virtual contest that brought together 37 young spellers in grades 4–8. After 10 challenging rounds, 5th grader Simon Woods of Wynford Local School District claimed the championship title. To earn the title, Simon spelled correctly the championship word, “hiatus.” Sixth grader Zander Hittle from Northmor Local School District finished as runner-up in a strong showing. Simon, Paxton, and Barrett all qualified to compete in the Tri-County Spelling Bee on February 19th!

In February, twenty of Wynford Elementary’s 4th and 5th grade students competed in the Mid Ohio Educational Service Center’s annual Academic Challenge. Led this round by Mrs. Massey and Ms. Bryson as coaches, and Mrs. Hayman, Miss Veith, and Mrs. Sturgeon as readers, these students competed in 6 rounds of general knowledge questions against fifteen other area schools. They trained and learned strategy techniques with general knowledge trivia, current events, and academic-based tasks. These students represented Wynford extremely well with great sportsmanship. A good time was had by all involved. In March, they will compete again. We wish these students luck in their next round! 4th Grade: Lillian Steffan, Owen Rivers, Kaden Leitzy, Ziriah Black, Hadleigh Foght, Bria Ruth, Shelby Schafer, Keegan Stevens, Braxten Basilone, Trip Blankenship, Jacob Safford 5th Grade: Max Bessinger, Barrett Butler, Beau Parker, Richard Hartschuh, Porter Allgyre, Paxton Zornes, Grayson Wynn, Korben Charlton, Ella Greenick.

Honor and Merit Roll students in third, fourth, and fifth grade received their certificates and were honored for their achievements during the second quarter. Congratulations! 🎉

The estimation for our final impact would be $9000.
