Wasco Weekly

Wasco Families,

We have had many visitors to our school lately, which is a fantastic learning opportunity for our kids! On Monday, at our Veterans Day Assembly, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Chaplain Carl Krueger was our guest speaker. He explained the branches of the military and how to fuel jets midair. A very special moment was the Lieutenant leading our Veterans in the Oath of Enlistment. The moment touched us all deeply.

Here are student quotes about what they liked about the Veterans Day Assembly:

-”Meeting the Veterans”

-”Listening to the choir and orchestra play together”

-”Learning how to fuel a fighter jet in the air”

-”The guitar player”

Thank you Veterans for giving your time to Wasco school and creating a moment that will last in our hearts for a very long time.

Kind Regards,

Mrs. Brennan

Principal, Wasco Elementary School

The map below displays how Wasco organizes dismissal for car riders. We will be directing students to wait on our “front lawn” for their ride. If they see their families' vehicle, they can walk along the sidewalk and enter the stopped vehicle. If you would like to leave your car to pick up your child, you are free to park in the lot.

You can save this as a handy reference for your caregivers or visiting family members who do pick up as well!

Wasco Spirit Wear is now for sale! Deadline for ordering is December 1st.
