Come join us December 9 at 6:00 pm for our winter concert featuring grades P-12!

On Monday, Abby Brown from EWU, came to school to help our seniors apply for admission. We had five seniors take part in the event. Thank you, Eastern Washington University, for waving the admission fee and guiding our seniors towards their next steps!

On Tuesday the entire school came together to learn about empathy and to create Blessing Bags for people in need in our community. Thank you to all of the donors who helped to make this community service event a success. The bags contain gloves, snacks, a $5 bill, and many other things that may help someone's day go better. If you are in need of a bag or know someone who is, please let us know!

This picture may lead you to believe that our teachers spent the day playing with Mr. Potato Head, but he was the vehicle to help us understand that small changes in our practice help us make big gains with our students. This staff continues to push themselves to be the best they can be for our students and worked hard to improve themselves on Friday!

These seniors have been working hard to raise money and make plans for their future. Here is the first piece of evidence leading towards graduation! Of course, it starts with the picture in front of our famous W!

Our fourth and fifth graders have been working very hard every week with Deputy Blake Hampton from the Adams County Sheriff's office on the L.E.A.D. (Law Enforcement Against Drugs) program. On December 18, we would like to invite you to celebrate their achievement with a graduation ceremony in the gym at 2:30.

Winter weather is almost upon us. Are you wondering what happens on those days? Please read the attached letter to find out! Please be sure to update Sue in the school office is you have changed your phone number so that you don't miss school delay or closure announcements!

There is still time! If you weren't able to sign up your child to see a dentist, they will be here on December 10th. It's not too late to have the dentist come to your child!

Yearbook forms are available in the office now. The yearbook staff is currently designing the next yearbook cover and working hard to build the pages that will store the memories from this school year!
