Attention families: This morning a fender bender occurred involving a WLCSD school bus near Nichols. The bus driver and the 15 students on the bus were ok, there were no injuries. Another bus was disbursed to bring the students safely to school. As always the safety of our students and staff comes first, and we are thankful that no one was injured in this incident.

To celebrate Earth day, the district is planting 72 trees, 10 of which will be at the ELC and Elementary. There will be 18 high schoolers going around to different locations to dig and plant the trees for us :)
A HUGE shoutout to Melia Larson and our PTO for helping make this happen. Kindergarten is helping plant three of the trees as they have a Tree Unit that they teach each year.
As our third meeting with AIM, third grade students learned about immigration and citizenship with Rosa Mendoza from The Diversity Service Center of Iowa.

West Liberty High School students participated in a career exploration fair. Local business partners came to discuss their company and all the different careers and opportunities available within that company. Work-based learning events are structured opportunities for students to interact with employers either at school, or at the worksite. The purpose of WBL is to build student awareness of potential careers and to facilitate student exploration of career opportunities.
