Second graders have been learning about erosion and earth's surface in science! 🧪🧫🔬They got to experiment with this concept in the lab they completed! Students built a model of a canyon and then conducted four rainstorm simulations to see how water/rain can impact land. 😃
We are excited to announce that our One School, One Book event this year will be................THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN!

Attention parents of JH/HS students that ride Bus 7 from the JH/SH to Olds and transfer to Bus 1 in Olds to Crawfordsville in the PM:
Bus 1 has some new riders with additional stops that have changed the PM route and its expected PM arrival time in Crawfordsville. The bus will now arrive in Crawfordsville sometime between 4:45 PM and 5:00 PM. The time will vary based on what students ride each day.
Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to this new route change.
Warrior pick-up lane parents:
We ask that you please remember not to block residential driveways on Washington/South St, or any, street, while you wait.
We also need you to refrain from driving behind the buses while they are in the lot. Please exit via the same lane adjacent to the lot.
Thank you and happy Friday!
Congratulation to our Kindness Week Coloring Contest winners! All students did a fantastic job on their kindness coloring pages. Thank you for helping spread kindness through our community!
All WACO second graders were gifted a copy of Just Like Caitlin by Ally Obermeier!
As the giving season approaches, the Jensen Family is excited to give the book, Just Like Caitlin, to EVERY second grader in the state of Iowa. This book tells her story and includes many important life lessons like dreaming big, working hard, valuing relationships over winning and many more. Dickson and Luann Jensen are proud Iowans, business owners, coaches, parents, and grandparents. They are proud of Caitlin and believe she is a great role model for
all kids. Because of their love for children and desire to impact the next generation, they hope this book inspires kids to believe their future can be greater than they imagine.
If you think of someone you know that may be inspired by this book you can read more about the book and purchase at www.justlikecaitlin.com. The Jensen Family believes books and athletics are two incredible tools for developing leaders and helping set kids up for successful futures.
THANK YOU JENSEN FAMILY!!

Kindness Week is Coming!
Next week (November 11 - 14), we’re celebrating Kindness Week at WACO Elementary! Let's come together to spread positivity, show compassion, and make our school community even stronger.
Throughout the week, students will participate in fun activities & lessons focused on kindness and empathy. It’s all about creating a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated!
Let’s fill our school with smiles and create ripples of kindness that extend beyond the classroom! See the picture below for dress up days!
NHS students enjoying some quality time with kindergarten at recess.
Fourth grade students learned about medieval times in language arts, so we extended that learning into the steam lab! Students worked in small groups to create battering rams. Each one had to have wheels, a roof, and the ram had to be suspended on the structure. They turned out great!
Ms. Richardson's 4th grade science classes were able to build catapults while learning about elastic energy.
