Washington

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!!

The Washington Mustangs won last school year's District Physical Challenge, so it was time August 9th, to claim their prize! The prize?... a POOL PARTY at the Wellington Family Aquatic Center! Congratulations Mustangs for being the most fit - stay with it, the benefits will multiply!

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!
