The Kindergarten Team at East Lynn Elementary has been working on this lesson for months! At the end of last school year, Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Baker's kindergarten classes learned about plant life cycles and planted watermelon seeds to finish up their lesson.
The watermelon's have been growing, and growing, since then. Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Baker recently picked the ripe melons, and created an interactive lesson for this year's kindergarten students. They measured the height and weight of each watermelon, and learned some delicious new adjectives while taste testing the watermelon!
The melons were so big, every class was in the school was able to have some. What an exciting and productive lesson! Great job!

When a medical emergency happened on his bus, Joey Cremeans jumped into action to provide aid. While doing that, Mr. Cremeans was not able to relay any information on his radio. That's when Mandy, a student at WHS, stepped in to help. While Mr. Cremeans was providing aid, Mandy was on the radio relaying important information to help resolve the emergency. WCS is fortunate to have incredible employees ready to help in any situation. We are also blessed to have incredibly bright and caring students.
For their actions, the WCSBOE recognized Mr. Cremeans and Mandy at a recent board meeting. Thank you Mandy and Joey!
