Shout out to our amazing MIEP team — thank you for the thoughtful snacks for teachers on Friday! It was such a meaningful pick-me-up and truly appreciated by everyone.
Guess what Mrs. Long’s 2nd graders did this week? They read A Dinosaur Named Sue — a story about uncovering dinosaur bones — then became paleontologists for the day! Using paintbrushes and toothpicks, they carefully excavated chocolate chip cookie “fossils.” Such a fun, hands-on way to connect reading with science.
Looking for fun and new friends? Our student-led Friendship Club met last Tuesday in the media center and had a blast making slime together! We meet twice a month at 7:15 AM and love watching students connect through hands-on activities. Our next meeting is March 31.

Did someone say team spirit + story time? 😊 Today WPS welcomed the Martin County High School varsity baseball team as special guest readers for our 2nd graders as part of Read Across America week. It was such a joy to see athletes sharing books, smiles, and encouragement with our students.
Our Exceptionally STEAM students spent the day at Athletic Edge in Washington, diving into hands-on activities, playing with friends, and making memories. They wrapped up the perfect day with lunch at McDonald’s.
