We had an amazing Junior Jedi Race on Monday as we celebrated May the 4th Be With You!
We’d like to give a big shoutout to our top racers and winners!
Our Top 10 racers, who earned lightsabers for being outstanding Junior Jedis, are:
Tommy Jenkins, Malcolm McGinnis, Anderson Stanley, Giovanni Sweet, Carmela Roberts, Ontario Torrence, Lily Nowicki, Blake Hilla, and Dewayne Taylor.
In our final race, one Master Jedi rose above the rest—congratulations to our overall champion, Ontario Torrence!
We also had a winner for Best Dressed, and that honor goes to Leona Hawkins, who impressed everyone with her Princess Leia-inspired look, complete with a touch of Grogu!
And last but certainly not least, Jacob Hutchens earned the top fundraising prize, bringing in an incredible $565 in donations!
Thank you to Jacob and to all of our students and families who contributed—your generosity makes a big difference for our school.
All prizes earned through this fundraiser will be distributed to students soon!

Congratulations to our 2026 WUE Kiwanis Award Winner Vivienne Spurr!
This is what Mrs. Rochon had to see about Vivienne in her nomination letter:
Vivienne is kind, hardworking, and always pleasant. She is an incredible role model for her peers. She comes in and immediately starts working in class, and she participates throughout. Vivienne is part of the Warrior Charity Club, and she was also in Battle of the Books. Her team took first place because of her dedication to her commitments. She is in tons of dance classes, and she's at competitions all weekend quite often, but she never misses school unless it's absolutely necessary, and she never falls behind in her work. Vivienne shows appreciation for the adults at school daily. Without fail, every single day, Vivienne thanks her teachers for their class as she leaves to head to her next one. She is hands down the prime example of who should receive this award.

🚨✨ Junior Jedi Race: Operation Grogu was a GALACTIC success at Woodhaven Upper Elementary! ✨🚨
Our Junior Jedi Cadets took on an epic mission to rescue Grogu, testing their strength, focus, and courage through a series of action-packed stations. From start to finish, these young heroes showed determination, resilience, and plenty of Force power! đź’«
Here’s a look at the challenges they conquered:
🟣 The Force Float – Keeping objects suspended while navigating to safety
🟣 The Kyber Fracture – One-leg hopping across unstable terrain
🟣 The Sands of Tatooine – Hydration stop to refuel with “Jedi Juice”
🟣 The Thermal Detonator Toss – Precision throw to disable enemy defenses
🟣 The Desperate Evasion (Gauntlet) – Sprinting through a dodgeball “attack”
🟣 The Ewok Scramble – Low crawling to avoid detection
🟣 The Asteroid Field Navigation – Spinning through space and staying on course
🟣 The Carbonite Freeze – Freezing in place at the sound of the whistle
🟣 The Mustafar Heat Shield – Final hydration before the last push
🟣 The Reverse Warp – Running backward to escape the tractor beam
🟣 The Inflatable Breach & Extraction – Storming the course to rescue Grogu and cross the finish line
🌟 Finalists:
Tommy Jenkins
Malcolm McGinnis
Anderson Stanley
Giovanni Sweet
Carmela Roberts
Ontario Torrence (WUE Master Jedi Champion!) 🏆
Cass Burton
Lily Nowicki
Blake Hilla
Dewayne Taylor
đź‘Ź A huge thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers who helped bring this unforgettable experience to life. The Force was strong at WUE! đź’ś
