📚 Parent Support Brings New Books to the Classroom! 📚

A big THANK YOU to some of our 7th grade parents who generously purchased a classroom set of The Raft by S. A. Bodeen for Mrs. Schmidt’s classroom!

This exciting survival story is sure to keep students turning the pages while encouraging critical thinking, classroom discussions, and a love for reading.

Having a classroom set allows students to experience the story together, share ideas, and build on their reading skills.

We are so thankful for parents who continue to invest in our classrooms and help provide new learning opportunities for our Warriors! ❤️📚

👟❤️🖤 LET’S START AWOL OFF ON THE “RIGHT FOOT!” 👟

STARTING NOVEMBER 2ND

Warriors, it’s time to clean out those closets and put those shoes to good use!

We are kicking off AWOL 2027 with a districtwide shoe drive to benefit our recipient, Savanna Walkup Roof and her family! ❤️ Savanna is fighting a rare stage 4 lung cancer, and your support means so much!

Here’s how the fundraiser works! We are collecting NEW or GENTLY WORN SHOES, and a company will pay us BY THE POUND for the shoes we collect! That's right! Those shoes sitting in the back of your closet could help us raise money for a family right here in our Warrior community!

👟 Tennis shoes, boots, house shoes, high heels, flip-flops, cleats, sandals...you name it! All styles, all sizes, and all ages! As long as they are new or gently worn and still wearable, we want them!

And here's another great part! The shoes we collect will be given a second life through microenterprise opportunities, helping others while we raise money for our AWOL family. It's a WIN-WIN!

🏆 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, WE HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU!

The grade level that collects the MOST pairs of shoes will receive:

🏆 Recognition at the AWOL assembly

❤️ Their grade level listed on the BACK of our AWOL shirt as top donor!

🧁 A CUPCAKE PARTY for EVERY class in the winning grade!

📍 WHERE TO DONATE: Collection boxes will be located in the hallways of ALL school buildings. Elementary will have a separate collection box for each grade level.

📅 WHEN: Our shoe drive kicks off November 1, so start bringing those shoes to school Monday, November 2! We will continue collecting through January!

Now, Warriors, we need EVERYONE! Ask your friends, neighbors, grandparents, coworkers, church families, and anyone else you can think of! Clean out those closets, gather up those shoes, and send them our way!

One of the things that makes AWOL so special is that EVERY student in our district has an opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves. Whether you donate one pair or one hundred, you are helping make a difference for a Warrior family.

Let's see just how many pounds of shoes our Warrior community can collect! 👟❤️🖤

To learn more about AWOL and our 2026–2027 recipient, Savanna Walkup Roof, or to make a monetary donation, click the link below!

NOTE: If you are donating several pairs, please tie shoelaces together or, if possible, rubberband the pair together. Thank you!

For bulk donations: Place 25 pairs per trash bag with laces tied together, or pair banded together.

Our Washington Middle School STEM students have been busy building something with a purpose!

Students in Mr. Fry’s 7th hour STEM Enrichment class recently completed a project called HOPE Homes, and this one goes far beyond building tiny houses!

Students spent time researching homelessness and the challenges faced by children and families experiencing housing instability. After learning about the circumstances that can lead to homelessness, students worked in teams of two to research, design, and construct models of tiny, one-bedroom homes.

Together, they created an entire tiny home community inspired by real programs that provide safe housing, educational support, job skills, and opportunities for individuals and families working toward a more stable future.

HOPE stands for Hope, Opportunity, Preparation, and Empowerment. ❤️

What makes this project so special is that our students weren’t just learning about construction and design. They were learning about real-world problems, compassion, teamwork, and how creative thinking can help make a difference in the lives of others.

Their completed HOPE Homes community is currently on display at Washington Middle School.

We love seeing our Warriors use their STEM skills to think beyond the classroom and discover that sometimes the smallest houses can represent the biggest hopes! 🏠❤️🖤

Great job, Mr. Fry and our STEM students!
