Wethersfield School District

Eighth-grade ELA students wrapped up The Outsiders with a culminating character poster project. Working in pairs or groups of three, students analyzed their chosen character across multiple categories, supporting their ideas with textual evidence and explanations. Their posters combined creativity and critical thinking to demonstrate their understanding of the novel’s characters.

Mrs. Addis’ sixth-grade class had a wonderful time celebrating Grandparents’ Day! We welcomed more than 30 grandparents and special guests into our classroom to visit, explore our learning space, and create an art project with their students.

Students learned about perspective—how artists change the size of figures and objects to make them appear near or far away. Each student brought in a photograph of themselves and extended the scene beyond the photo, adding details to imagine the world around them when the picture was taken.

Everyone had so much fun and did a wonderful job! Thank you to all the grandparents and special guests who helped make this day so memorable!

Maddie Verscha has been busy this week working on her National Honor Society service project by handing out Titans/Geese spirit wear! Check out all of these smiling faces.

Did you know,
Bananas, pumpkins and lemons are berries
Botanically speaking, bananas, pumpkins and lemons meet all the criteria to be classified as berries: They develop from a single flower with one ovary, and they have a fleshy middle and contain seeds. (The bananas we eat today have been specially bred over the years to be seedless.)

WHS Skit Night in the gym @ 6:30! Join us!

Fun food fact
There are over 7,500 kinds of apples
From crisp Galas to tart Granny Smiths, the world of apples is incredibly diverse. There are over 7,500 known varieties of apples grown worldwide, each with its own unique flavor, texture and ideal use. Around 2,500 are grown in the United States.

Thank you to Andrew and Mason Birdsong for installing the new signs on the press box and scoreboard. The football field looks ready for HOCO.

Homecoming Week is one of the best weeks of the school year, and we want ALL of our students to enjoy it, have fun with their friends, show their school spirit, and make memories they’ll be talking about for years to come.

As the week gets underway, we also want to give students and parents a quick reminder about “decorating” houses and cars.

Have fun. Be creative. Enjoy the tradition. But please remember that there is a line between having fun and damaging someone else’s property. Students should be respectful of homes, vehicles, yards, and personal belongings. **Nothing done in the name of Homecoming should damage a house, vehicle, or any other property, or create a safety concern for others.**

We want our students to have a GREAT Homecoming Week. Dress up. Participate. Be loud. Have fun. Make memories. Look out for one another.

Just make sure the memories you create are the kind you’ll still be proud of years from now.

Have a safe and memorable Homecoming Week!

-Mr. Nichols
