News from Winfield Elementary: January 10, 2025
From the Principals, Mrs. Alonzo & Mrs. Hall
Dear Winfield Families,
Good luck to our amazing Winfield Robocat robotics teams as they gear up for their tomorrow's competition! 🤖✨ Their hard work, creativity, and teamwork are truly inspiring. We’re so proud of each of them and can’t wait to see what they accomplish.
We are sending four teams to compete: Team Robo Duckies, Team Robo Raptors, Team Robo Swish, and Team Blue Monkeys!
We cheered the teams on with a quick parade before the end of the day. Kudos to this year's participants including Fifth graders Gabe, Yusuf, Violet, Hayden, Lorenzo, Max, Zane, and Ethan; Fourth graders Jovan, Colton, Aiden, JJ, Andrea, Luka, Darwin, and Olivia; and Third graders Michael, Patience, Petar, and Jaxson.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Alonzo & Mrs. Hall
