Remember no school on Friday this week!

Tomorrow, April 15th we will have adjusted AFTERNOON bus routes. Route #22 riders will dismiss 15 minutes early from Beverly Manor - resulting in earlier drop off times. Hensey Route #22 riders will combine on bus #33 resulting in delayed drop off times of 10-15 minutes. Thank you for your cooperation.

Also congratulations to some other notable athletes at tonight's Wildcat Invite...Arriann Jackson-6th in long jump, Zane Heubi-6th in shotput, Alex Linnemann placed 4th in both the 1600m and 800m, Jonah Rose-8th in the 800m, Micah Jackson-7th in the 400m, Madison Young-10th in shotput, Boys 4x200m relay of TJ Johnson, Preston Davis, Micah Jackson, and Zane Heubi-4th place, and Girls 4x200m relay of Arriann Jackson, Teagan Perhay, Kyla Lawrence, and Aaliyah Johnson-6th! Great night to be a Wildcat, as this is a difficult meet with tough competition!

Congratulations to our boys 4x400m relay team on their second place finish tonight at the 16th annual East Peoria Wildcat Invite! Runners Zane Heubi, Micah Jackson, Alex Linnemann and Preston Davis finished with a PR of 4:09.69 to beat Washington Central in the last second, but falling to Chatham Glenwood, who took first! It was a fun race to watch! Great job boys!

Don't forget tonight is the big Animal Review!!! Please enter at door 17 which is the third grade hallway and enjoy all the animals. See you tonight at Hensey from 6-7pm.

Huge thank you to the Northern Tazewell Fire Department for letting District 50 place our newest lending library by their parking lot (enter on Crestlawn Dr.). Stop by to grab a free book today! Dr. Seuss, Pete the Cat, Lego Bionicles, Barbie, and Captain Underpants are just a few of the characters waiting to meet you!

What is Bookjoy? It’s the gimme-gimme-gimme rush of grabbing a new book. Reading between classes. Finishing the book on the bus because they can’t wait to get home. Bookjoy starts at the Fair! Beverly Manor’s fair is ONE WEEK away! Visit us at the library during school hours or at special family open houses Thursday April 18th 4-6pm and Friday April 19th 4-7pm.

Good morning, we are excited to see all our students returning from Spring Break this morning. Reminder, we are back to a 4 route bus system, with normal pickup and drop off times for all routes. Thank you!

Attention Manor and Hensey parents, thank you for all your patience and understanding with the series of changes in transportation this school year. After we return from Spring Break, beginning on Tuesday, April 2nd we will resume our 4 bus route with drivers and timing that we had at the beginning of the school year. This will bring us back to our "normal" times with no routes needing to leave school early, and no routes running on a later dismissal. If you have questions about the timing, please see the documents below, or you may access them on our website under "D50 Bus Information". https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/764/Washington_District_50_Schools/2272054/UPDATED_2023-2024_HENSEY_BUS_SCHEDULE.docx.pdf https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/764/Washington_District_50_Schools/2272055/_UPDATED_2023-2024_MANOR_BUS_SCHEDULE.docx.pdf

See you tomorrow!

Tryouts begin tomorrow!

Mrs. Sheldon and her band are having a brand new piece written for an upcoming performance and are dedicating it in memory of a former Wildcat band director, Brendan Batson. They are looking for individuals who have learned under Mr. Batson and would be willing to submit short video clips about his impact on their band experiences in junior high. Check the attached image for directions on how and where to send your clip. Thank you for your help!

Have a great break.

Reminder: Today is early dismissal for the start of Spring Break. Manor dismisses at 1:30pm; Hensey dismisses at 2:00pm.
