Mr. Doug McDaniel was able to take our students on a field trip yesterday afternoon where they had the opportunity to explore innovation at Missouri State University! At the efactory, Emily Denniston showed how MSU helps startups and tech companies grow, and at ECRI, CEO Kevin Wyas gave an up-close demo of sonic welding and programming devices for Jeeps. Huge thanks to both teams for giving our students a look into the future of engineering and entrepreneurship!

We will be having these discussions on November 18, during RTI for JH students and then during RTI for HS students.
The Academic Team hosted the Challenge Games on Wednesday, November 12, welcoming five visiting teams along with our own students. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped as readers, timers, and scorekeepers—your support made the event possible. Our students competed in both varsity and junior varsity matches, showcasing the hours of hard work and practice they’ve put in with Mrs. Pybas already this year. It was a great opportunity for them to demonstrate what they know and celebrate the idea that knowledge truly is power.
A great day of service for Mrs. Hillis and some of her high school students volunteering at the Humane Society! They helped socialize animals, assisted with cleaning and care, and learned more about what it takes to support local shelters. Thank you for representing WG so well!
What a day at Wonders of Wildlife! Our middle school students explored habitats, observed amazing species, and connected what they’ve learned in class to the world around them. A perfect mix of adventure and learning! Great memories for sure! So many pictures here are a few for you!
Hope that you are all doing well, just wanted to post this letter again so that as you are shopping this weekend you can pick up a few extra items for our Week of Giving next week. See the items requested for each class on the flyer -- we'll also be collecting money to help buy gifts for those in need next week as well. Each class is going to be collecting. If you would like to donate to a specific class or just to the fund in general reach out to the offices and we can help you out!
It may be cold outside today but Miss Bruce sent me these photos she snapped last week when it was still warm and sunny outside with the kids enjoying coming down the new slide. Love those smiles!!!
