Washington Elementary's 4th grade, under the direction of their teacher, Mr. Bob Meyer and assistance from Mr. Mark Farley, a para-professional at the school, performed "GRACE AND THE TIME MACHINE" recently at the school.

Parents, students and staff at Washington Elementary took part in a STEAM night Thursday at the Home of the Mustangs. A large number of folks were on hand for the event which included pizza and drinks for all as well. What is STEAM you ask?
STEAM provides an avenue for formally teaching the inter-relationships of how subjects relate in real-life. STEAM-style education can be enjoyably and meaningfully delivered in more engaging and deeply embedding ways within the already well-established realm of education.
The 3rd & 4th graders at Washington Elementary, under the musical direction of Mrs. Pamela Thompson, got the Christmas Concert Slate off to a great start Monday evening at WHS. There was plenty of "holiday jolly" in the air and much more to come! (See Schedule Below). The young Mustangs performed traditional Christmas favorites like "O Come All Ye Faithful" and a few not so traditional (but very good and FUN!) like "Santa, What A Guy"!
There were dozens of dads, donuts and smiles on hand Friday morning at Washington Elementary. Dad's and Donuts day is an annual event at Washington. Dads and their kids enjoy some juice and donuts and each kid gets to pick out a FREE BOOK to keep and read to their dads! To see such huge smiles on such young kids so early in the morning can mean only one thing - they love their dads!
The annual Candy Bar Election took place Thursday at Washington Elementary. Perhaps one of the "SWEETEST" elections you could ever participate in and more than likely be at least content with either winner...in other words, not a typical election. :)
The annual Washington Elementary "Jog-A-Thon" was held Friday between 17th & 18th Streets on Washington Ave. Students receive pledges from both individuals and businesses for "per lap jogged", their laps are kept track of by jog-a-thon officials and in the end not only have they participated in a great physical activity, they've raised monies for their school's technology budget. The staff and students at Washington greatly appreciate all of the support they receive from individuals and groups for this endeavor.
For the third year in a row at Washington Elementary, Mr. Robert Meyer's 4th grade class held their "Candy Bar Election" to determine this go-round...which is better, the KIT-KAT bar or REESES! The voting process was REAL, even down to the official ballot.
The 2nd through 5th grades at Washington Elementary this past week held a Spelling Bee with parents and classmates on hand to observe. It was a battle in each class to ascertain an eventual winner but winners were eventually determined. Congratulations go out to 5th grader Fredrick, 4th grader Jagger, 3rd grader Levi and 2nd grader Raelynn for hanging on for their respective wins! Their pictures and others are accessible via link below.
