Propaganda meets creativity! Students explored the power of propaganda in Fahrenheit 451 by creating visual mini-posters focused on firemen, fear, book suppression, or distraction. Students were challenged to transform persuasive messages into eye-catching visuals that demonstrate how propaganda can influence beliefs, manipulate emotions, and control society.

We're lucky to have Mr. McGunnigal!

Thinking out of the box.
Japan grows square watermelons
In Japan, you can find watermelons that are perfectly square. They aren’t genetically modified but grown in special box-shaped molds that force the fruit to grow into perfect cubes. This practice started in the 1980s to make the melons easier to stack and store, though they’re often more expensive and primarily used for decorative purposes since they’re harvested before ripening.

For their NHS service project, Aiden Taylor and Revan Gearhart chose to use their time , strength and energy into helping local community members. They spent their Sunday afternoon tackling several small projects for Wethersfield families. Great job, Aiden and Revan, for lending a hand and making a difference in our community!

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the family of Sgt. Schuyler Patch for their incredibly generous donation of 60 American flags to our football program.

Our sixth graders had so much fun dressing up in their Halloween costumes and leading the Elementary Halloween Parade today! There were so many creative costumes and plenty of smiles. What a fun day filled with Halloween spirit! 🎃👻

This week, we celebrated Red Ribbon Week with the messages “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.” and “Together We Can Make a Difference.”

Our elementary students joined in the fun with dress-up days throughout the week: Twin/Triplet Day, Superhero or Real-Life Hero Day, Wear Red Day, Pajama Day, and School Colors or Spirit Wear Day!

Students also watched a video, enjoyed a song, and colored pictures to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and the importance of staying drug free. What a great week of learning, school spirit, and celebrating how we can make a difference together! ❤️

Eighth-grade ELA students became detectives in a race against the clock! Working with partners, they had 10 minutes to investigate a fictional missing mascot trophy, examine clues, and use the REASON framework to defend their conclusions with evidence. A fun challenge in critical thinking, collaboration, and communication!

Last night, several Wethersfield NHS members joined Lucy Landwehr in supporting her service project for the Kewanee Food Pantry, helping distribute monthly food boxes to local families from both Kewanee and Wethersfield schools. Great job serving others and making a difference in our community!

You CRAN count on this fact,
Cranberries are bouncy
You can tell if a cranberry is ripe by seeing if it bounces. This unique characteristic is due to four tiny air pockets inside the berry. During harvesting, ripe cranberries are often sorted by being bounced down a series of barriers called “bounce boards.” Only the bounciest (and therefore ripest) ones make it to the packing house.
