These handcrafted pieces will be donated to the WEA and raffled off during the Trivia Night fundraiser on Saturday evening. All proceeds will go toward establishing a scholarship fund for WHS students. Join us for a night of fun, test your trivia knowledge, and take home a one-of-a-kind piece made by our talented students!
Our high school students took on the challenge of turning simple cardboard and plaster into incredible 3D masterpieces! With full creative freedom, they chose their own subjects and brought their ideas to life. From abstract designs to realistic forms, each piece is a unique work of art!
A huge shout-out to our amazing high school students who attended and submitted work for the LTC Art Conference! The show was incredible, and every single piece looked absolutely fantastic. Your hard work and creativity truly shined! Congratulations to our award winners:
Elise Nelson – 3rd Place in Pencil Miscellaneous; Joey Drawyer – 3rd Place in Tempera; Oscar Cepeda-Lopez – Honorable Mention in Tempera. We are so proud of all of you! Keep creating, keep inspiring, and keep making the world a more colorful place!
The Introduction to Physical Science class welcomed special guests on Monday: Katie Rushing-Anderson, a professor from Black Hawk College, and Will Rumbold, a Black Hawk student and former Wethersfield student. Together, they guided the class through a hands-on activity in which students constructed trebuchets (catapults). This engaging project allowed students to apply their learning by observing the conversion of potential gravitational energy into kinetic energy through the use of a simple machine—the lever.
Tonight is the night! We hope to see you at Literacy Night from 6:00-7:00pm!
This week, Wethersfield Elementary School is celebrating Read Across America with fun and engaging activities to promote the joy of reading! To kick off the festivities, Principal Dennison dressed as The Cat in the Hat, while Mrs. Underwood and Mrs. DeKezel brought the excitement as Thing 1 and Thing 2. Meanwhile, students were able to dress up as twins (match a friend or group) today. At WES, we recognize that literacy is the foundation of learning, opening doors to imagination, knowledge, and future success. We are excited to share the magic of reading with our students throughout the week!
