It was Washington Elementary's "Donuts with Grown-Ups" Wednesday morning early. Many MUSTANGS were accompanied by family members (parents, grandparents, and more!) and enjoyed juice, coffee (for the older crowd), donuts and each student was given the opportunity to pick out a NEW BOOK to read and KEEP for themselves! SWEET STUFF, all the way around!
GO MUSTANGS!!
KWHS NEWS staff members Dakota Lynnes, Drake Hendrix, Kenny Farley, Allie Wright, and Emma Rains visited the 5th grade Mustangs in Mrs. Pam Thompson's music class at Washington Elementary earlier this week. The young musicians showed off their new drumming talents and WHS Senior Lynnes demonstrated his drumming skills to their delight! The students shared their thoughts on music and it was actually a reunion of sorts as well. Mrs. Thompson had all "5" of the News Team members as students when they were in grade school so many years ago.
The Mustangs are in the Christmas Spirit! They recently trimmed their tree and sang songs at their Washington Elementary home. Merry Christmas Mustangs!
Under the musical direction of Mrs. Pam Thompson, the Washington Elementary 3rd & 4th grades performed their "Seasonal Serenade" for a nice sized crowd at WHS on Monday!
Friday was the annual IMMIGRATION REENACTMENT at Washington Elementary. The 5th graders each school year...reenact the arrival of immigrants back in the day at Ellis Island in New York. From traveling on over-crowded boats, to not understanding the language upon arrival, and a myriad of other obstacles and concerns...very hands on way to understand that part of our history. Many even dress to that time era. Staff man different stations, from check-in after arriving in the harbor, medical exams, interviews, citizenship tests and in some cases, detainment.
The 4th Graders at Washington Elementary, instructed by Bob Meyer, held their annual "Candy Bar Election" Friday and this year's contestants were of similar design and taste...it was TWIX vs KIT KAT. In the end, it was TWIX who came out on top with 70 votes, KIT KAT 53 votes. Three write-in votes were recorded as well, 1 for SNICKERS and 2 for REESES. The right and the left TWIX voters were too much for the KIT KAT folks to overcome.
Mr. Meyer's 4th Grade Class at Washington Elementary, walked downtown this morning to the Raymond Frye Complex to observe today's mid-term election process. Steady flow of voters according to personnel on duty at Raymond Frye...get out and vote - GO MUSTANGS!!
