Second graders from Buffalo Elementary completed Pumpkin Book Reports. They chose a book, completed a book report, and made a pumpkin to look like a character from their story. They ended this project by presenting it to their class! Wonderful creativity on display from these students!
WCS employees are at the heart of our mission. Without them, we would not be able to accomplish our goals. These WCS employees were recognized at the board meeting this week for their hard work, dedication, and passion to Wayne County Schools. Thank you all!
Wayne Elementary School 5th grade student leadership team members delivered homemade mats, gloves, scarves, and hats to the Harmony House in Huntington. The leadership team made an announcement to the student body asking for donations to help buy the gloves, hats, and scarves. They made signs and posted them throughout the school. They collected a grand total of $300. The mats are made from donated grocery bags that Mrs. Shreve knitted together to make mats for people to sleep on. Mrs. Criswell is the lead teacher of our student leadership team and orchestrated the entire project with the help of the students. WES is so proud of our team and entire student body!❤️🖤

First Graders at Lavalette Elementary had a special visit from Sarah Fox, who works with AmeirCorps. During her presentation, students worked in groups to investigate the inside and outside of locally grown pumpkins. Students measured the height and circumference of the pumpkins and counted the seeds too! This was a great way to put math skills into action!
