Washington District 50 Schools

I don't know about you all, but one of the best life skills to learn must be baking...especially when it is cookies with frosting! Miss McCoy's students are having a blast baking, decorating, devouring and the worst part....cleaning the dishes.

Arguing isn't too enjoyable at home, but boy is it fun when in a debate forum. Our 8th grade students are in a battle of the wits in Mrs. Sonderman's class as they express their positions on various topics (cell phones, PE requirements, etc.) Look out WCHS. They are primed for the debate team! And for our families, next time you hear an argument, make them prove it with hard cold research and facts.

Congratulations to our Super Bowl quiz winners! Noah Mordhorst and Landen Brown were a couple of the first through the building and had both answers correct with 43 yards of difference in rushing and then 65 total passes x 2 for 130 passes. An honorary mention goes out to Colton Behm for finding the difference in QB pass yards for the entire season and to Dylan Forinash for finding double the pass yards in the game! Math is everywhere!

Family time and football! The only thing better is adding in some math! Mr. Sharp wants to add in a real world challenge to your sports viewing tonight...are you up for it? The first two students to bring correct answers (on paper) to the Math problems below will win a snack and chat time with the principal on Monday morning. Any 4th grade-8th grade student is eligible to win. Parents may need to help pull some end of game data research, but make your kids find those math keywords! Question #1: What was the difference between the Eagles total rushing yards and the Chiefs? Question #2: What is two times the sum of passes thrown by Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts?

4,281 is the combined total of individually wrapped snacks donated to the School Showdown!!! Thank you to everyone that donated. Our students and teachers appreciate it more than you know! And the winner is....... JOHN L. HENSEY Congratulations on the 3peat!
