WPNE 6th GRADE ONLY. Field trip today. Bring your lunch if you did not order one from the cafeteria and dress for 50-60 degree weather. Students will be at Veterans Park from 10:45-2:00ish for the WWII re-enactment. Those not dressed appropriately will stay back and read.
Cheering on our awesome Jr. High baseball team which includes some of our own students!
WIU Homecoming free tickets for our leaders. Teachers were asked to nominate only one student in their class who exemplifies leadership; being a good role model for others, respectful, responsible and safe at all times. And, they had to have a good attendance record. We were to draw out three students from those to get a fun day at WIU's homecoming game. One family had 3 children nominated in 3 classes so they got to count as one and we also drew out the 4th grade leader and the kindergarten leader. They all went and had pizza too! WIU will do this again for a women's basketball game and other athletic events. Our students are excited for the opportunity to maybe be theirs.

Special Person Day was a huge hit! We had lots of very special people enjoying our students and the school. Thank you to everyone who came.
Our students are enjoying learning about careers in music! Managers (attendance & teacher helpers), Conductors (music leaders), Roadies (set-up & clean-up), & Publicists (photographers & recorders of what we do in class). Our Publicists in 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grade captured some fun photos of music time, including two of our Conductors in action! We've been learning new dances and moving to music with the parachute, too.
