This week starts our ABC Countdown at the ELC/ELEMENTARY buildings!
¡Está semana comienza nuestra cuentra regresiva para el final del año en el ELC/ELEMENTARY!
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.

2nd grade learned all about string instruments and how they make sound in a very special performance from Maestro Tim and Orchestra Iowa's String Quartet. We loved learning and listening to their music, thanks Orchestra Iowa!
First grade's trip to the public library for celebrity story time!
They learned about the street sweeper, garbage truck and got to see inside a fire engine.
4th graders were visited by Myron McReynolds from Orchestra Iowa for a special STEAM activity! They were given parts to build their own Tone Generator. When they finished they got to take it home with them! Thanks, Orchestra Iowa!
