Mrs. McIntosh's 4th Grade students celebrated Nebraska's birthday on Feb 27th. Several Notable Nebraskans were in attendance at this gathering. Each 4th grade student was responsible for researching a Notable Nebraskan and then presenting on that person's life to the party goers and even dressing up as that individual. Happy birthday, Nebraska! What a fun way to celebrate! Great job, 4th graders! Notable Nebraskans in attendance: Dave Rimington, Susan La Flesche Picotte, William Frederick Cody, Daniel Whitney, Jeri Southern, Grace Abbott, Danny Woodhead, Lexi Rodriguez, Warren Keith Urbom, Terence Duren, Willa Cather, Gabrielle Union, Tom Osborne, Johnny Rodgers, Edwin Perkins, Robert Taylor, Gerald Ford, Chief Standing Bear, Andy Roddick, Barrett Ruud, & JoJo Siwa #HappyBirthdayNebraska #NebraskaHistory #WildcatEra #WashingtonOhana

Washington 4th graders are discovering Nebraska! Mrs. McIntosh's students were able to see different styles of quilts and learn about their historical importance. The objective of the program is to enrich the Nebraska curriculum by offering an engaging and educational way to teach both Nebraska history and the history of quiltmaking. This was made posible by the Discover Nebraska organization. Students also got to assemble their very own paper quilt! #WilcatEra #WashingtonOhana #NebraskaHistory #Quilts

Happy Presidents' Day! To celebrate, we actually have a few more Valentine's Day party photos from Mrs. Vencill's first grade class! Are you all tomorrow! #WildcatEra

Hearts fluttered in Mrs. Schultz’s 5th grade classroom! This year, our incredible students unleashed their wildest imaginations to craft the MOST EPIC Valentine’s Day boxes ever. Think basketball hoops, fairy gardens, and piñatas, all ready to hold those sweet valentines! It was bittersweet as this marked their FINAL year of this beloved tradition, but oh, what a grand finale it was! These kids are true artists at heart. Who was ready for the big exchange? Drop a ❤️ if you love creative kid vibes! #ValentinesDayMagic #5thGradeCreativity #LastButBest #NorthPlattePride #WildcatEra
