Introducing, Winnebago Weekly! 💙

This flyer will help our community get a weekly overview of our schools' events. We look forward to a great year!

Last week, our seventh through twelfth graders participated in the annual Social Studies Olympics! 📚🏅 Students were selected for their teams after being nominated by their teachers! They competed in many events including: 💨Race to sort: students had to quickly identify if the source is primary or secondary. 🏀Shoot to answer: students had to make the basket and answer the question correctly to move on. 🗺️Sort-the-map: students had to correctly categorize each map and complete the challenge quickly! 📝Finally, to determine the winner, teams had to complete a WHAM assignment, in full sentences. The team with the most points won! Congratulations to our winning team for the 2026 Social Studies Olympics... the Juniors! 🏆

We are proud to share our counselors at WPS! Thank you for all that you do! 👏

On Friday, our second graders participated in an activity involving toothpaste! 🪥 They squeezed the entire tube out then tried to put the toothpaste back in, but it didn't work! They learned that this is similar to our words and actions- that once it is out there ,no matter what you say or do, they cannot be undone. It reminded them (and us) to think before we speak, especially when our words might hurt someone's feelings! Not to mention, who doesn't love getting to play with slimy goop! 😁

And... our second half of high school teachers!

We look forward to sharing more features on our staff next week!
