From the Washington Preschool Times!
“Today the Preschoolers got to pretend to be 'surgeons’ and cut up Playdoh into multiple pieces. A big thank you to Great Plains Health for donating gowns, hair nets, gloves, and masks for Miss Folchert’s class. They can all be excellent doctors one day!” - Miss Folchert





Attention, Wildcats!! Last week's SPOTLIGHT TEACHER was none other than 2nd grade's Mrs. Burford!

Washington Elementary will have NO Kids Klub on Tuesday, Feb 6 or Wednesday, Feb 7th.

Washington students nominate teachers & staff each week to share why that person is so great. This week's Spotlight Teacher is Miss Magallanes. One student said she teaches them new things; another said she checks on them often to make sure they're okay.
Congrats on being our Wildcat Spotlight Teacher, Miss M!!

Happy Prize Day Thursday, Wildcats!! Here are some Washington students who displayed the Washington Way over the past two school weeks (December - January). Keep up the good work!!


Happy New Year!

Happy Last Day!! These North Pole representatives wish you the merriest of holidays!! Enjoy break!!

Today’s Guidance lesson is my FAVORITE lesson of the year! Each year before break, we read “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”. And each year? These awesome students of ours dig a little deeper and understand this season a little bit more. I love seeing them grow in understanding and love! Check out our Facebook page to see student quotes from today. PLEASE - Feel free to share any thoughts you come up with as a family to explain how Christmas (or whatever you celebrate this holiday season) “doesn’t come from a store,” and how we live that out in our lives each day! Happy holidays! - Mrs. Simmons
