Last week, our young scientists explored all things pumpkins — measuring how tall they were, counting their lines, testing whether they sink or float, and making estimations before digging in to count seeds (by 10s, of course!). 🧡
Hands-on learning like this helps our students explore, discover, and have fun while learning! #WarriorWay #GudithElementary #PumpkinScience

We “caught” some students at Woodhaven Upper Elementary School enjoying a good book! Whether they’re reading for fun, exploring new worlds, or learning something new, it’s clear our Warriors love to read. 💜
Keep turning those pages, Warriors — every great reader starts with one good book! #NationalLibraryMonth #WUEWarriors #ReadingRocks #WoodhavenBrownstownSD





Eighth grade students in Ms. Schefsky and Mrs. Banker’s science classes recently participated in a frog dissection lab. Through this hands-on activity, students explored the different body systems of a frog and discovered how many of them closely relate to those found in humans.
A special shoutout to first-year teacher Ms. Schefsky for diving right in and engaging her students in this unique learning opportunity! What an amazing way to spark curiosity and make science come alive. 🔬💜

🌟 Student Spotlight! 🌟
Evelyn Nichols, a 4th grader at Bates Elementary, was recognized at last night's WBSD Board of Education meeting for going above and beyond while riding the bus with a substitute driver. As the designated Safety, Evelyn took full charge of the seating process - guiding each student row by row to ensure everyone was properly seated.
Her leadership, maturity, and calm direction made the ride smoother and safer for everyone on board. 👏
Now that’s a student who truly knows the Warrior Way - showing responsibility, respect, and pride wherever she goes! 💜💛

As part of their learning, students explored the meanings and purposes of totem poles. Each student selected 5 animals out of 14 that best represented them, then designed and colored their own to create unique totem poles.
The results were creative, personal, and a wonderful way to connect learning with self-expression! 💜
