As we say goodbye to all things fall and Thanksgiving, we prepare for "The 12 Days of Christmas Break"! We have lots of fun activities coming up plus a lot of dress-up days shown on the calendar. Help us get in the Christmas spirit by participating when you can.
Today students and staff enjoyed our annual Thanksgiving Balloon Parade! Students created and built a balloon design that was shown off during the parade. We had lots of fun and very creative "floats!" Thank you to Mr. Miller, our grand marshal, for leading our parade! We even had a special appearance from the "big guy" to end our parade and kick off the holiday season. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We will see students when they return Monday, December 2!
Today we were thankful for the opportunity for our Washington students to partner up with Central school reading buddies. Students listened to each other read and did a craft together. This was a wonderful experience that showed great leadership and friendship.
We are proud to announce that Washington school students collected 525 items for a local food pantry. We are very thankful for you all. Happy Thanksgiving!
Big shout out to everyone who helped us celebrate American Education Week! Today, we showed our school spirit!!

Washington students and staff had lots of fun during day 4 of American Education Week. We pulled off a "switch day" and wrote about what we would do if we were the principal. Be ready for tomorrow - it's School Spirit Day!!
Day 3 of American Education Week had Washington students and staff dressed for a workout! We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings with Teacher/Student Switch Day!
Today during American Education Week, we took the time to thank someone that has helped us with our education in one way or another. We also celebrated with Wear One Color Day. Tomorrow is another fan favorite of Work Out Wednesday!
Today Washington students and staff rolled into Monday by being comfy in their pajamas for American Education Week! Tuesday 11/19 will be "Wear All One Color Day".

It was Washington's turn to choose two students for Warrior of the Month at our school board meeting. Congrats to our 4th grader Lincoln Fiorini and 5th grader Aiden Melvin! These two students exemplify what it means to be a kind, respectful, and engaged student. Keep up the great work boys!
Washington School celebrated Veteran's Day today by attending an assembly put on by Pontiac Junior High! We were able to listen to previous Washington students share the history behind Veteran's Day, facts, music, and guest speaker Scot Schickel. It was a very powerful and insightful assembly. Thank you to all of the Veterans who have served or are currently serving our country!
Don't forget, Veterans Day is this Monday! Please join us in wearing red, white, and blue as we honor our Veterans.
Thank you to ALL the generous donations that have come in from our Amazon Wish List for the school store and other activities planned for the students at school! The staff and students are very appreciative!!
