Farm Field Trip Highlights

We had a great day at the farm.  We learned a great deal about horses and even went on a Halloween Candy Hunt on the hill!!!  A big thanks to the Birchhill Farm.

Paw Pride Fall Festival

A note from Mrs. Oelke.....

This afternoon our students celebrated our Paw Pride Behaviors by participating in a school wide celebration event that was designed and facilitated by our 5th grade students and staff.  The leadership that our 5th grade students demonstrated was outstanding!  Our students worked together in teams consisting of kindergarten students up through 5th grade students.  Some of the events included an egg toss, football toss, a crab walk, hot potato, and a large game of telephone.  Ask you child about their afternoon at Washington Elementary.

We continue to work on Paw Pride Behaviors in all areas of our school!

Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe and Be Cooperative!

Thank you for your support and have a great weekend!
