Congratulations to our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from Washington School who received Honors & Principal’s Honors for Marking Period 2!
Students in Mrs. Molina, Mr. Flannery, and Mrs. Walsh’s classes from Washington delved into the solar system using Metaquest. They have been studying various aspects of the solar system, focusing this week on the distances between the planets and the sun, as well as the sizes of each planet relative to the sun. The Metaquest provided an immersive experience, allowing students to investigate the galaxy and observe the orbits of the planets and the sun. Additionally, they visited a planetarium where they discovered numerous fascinating facts about each planet.
Washington School cordially invites former students and retired/former staff to our first ever Alumni Day on Friday, April 25th!

Yesterday we celebrated 💯 Days of school at Washington School!!
The Pre-K students at Washington are exploring Cameras. We welcomed Vice Principal Mr. Ruiz, an avid photographer, who shared various types of cameras that people can use. We even had the opportunity to see a drone in action!
Washington LLD classes had a ‘Glow Social’ where they participated in activities such as crown making, painting, car racing, temporary tattoos, STEM challenges, and a dance party! We worked on our communication, pragmatic, fine motor, and gross motor skills! A special shoutout to the LLD6 Snack Shop for sponsoring this event!
Washington School 6th graders were treated to a Valentine’s Day Dance today! Thank you to Ms. Stephens for putting this event together and special thanks to Mr. Hempel for the photo booth!

Washington School was able to donate SEVEN crates of food through our Souper Bowl Food Drive! Students were entered into a raffle for School Bucks for each item donated, here are some of our winners!
PS - According to our food donation count, Washington thinks the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl!
Washington School had our first ever Souper Bowl Games for our 3rd through 6th graders. Mr. Ruiz did a fantastic job hosting the event!!
The students participated in a football themed spelling bee, trivia, and were randomly selected to participate in a football toss to earn School Bucks. Staff did a great job too! They competed against the students in trivia and we had some VERY brave teachers participate in blindfolded musical chairs. After all was said and done, 4th grade took the crown at the games.
We can’t wait for our next Souper Bowl Games!
