Today our CEA Students had a Kickoff Event for PARP! During this month the theme will be “Reading is Sweet” and each grade will be represented by a candy/color. UPK 4 - Orange Lollipop, Kindergarten - Green Gumdrop, First Grade - Red Licorice, Second Grade - Yellow Hard Candy, Third Grade- Blue Gummy Bear. The goal for each student is to read at least 15 minutes for 5 days each week during the program. This should not include reading required for school. Reading logs should be submitted on each Sunday evening. The top three classes in each grade will be recognized weekly and at the end of PARP the winning classes in each grade will receive a special reward. The top three students in each grade will also receive recognition of their outstanding accomplishment! For more information visit our website! https://www.wpcsd.org/o/cea/page/parp

These cards will be sent to a children's hospital to cheer them up!

Mrs. Kolb’s first grade class and Mrs. Cron’s Pre-K class celebrated Thanksgiving together on Tuesday. They read a Thanksgiving story, made Turkey hats, danced like turkeys, made snacks for each other and talked about being thankful and giving to others!

This week, our third-grade students learned about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and the engineering behind balloon floats. They were challenged to create their own float design with a device that could hold up the float. Here are the results!
