Our Washington students continue to shine! Tonight District 429’s Board of Education recognized 4th grader Trey Henkel and 5th grader Pailin McGruder. Way to represent Washington, boys! We are proud of you, Trey and Palin. Congratulations on your recognition!
Lily Melvin is a soft-spoken 5th grader from Mrs. Hogan’s class. She enjoys being a kid, and based on her answer about adulthood (you’ll be able to relate 😂), she should enjoy it for as long as she can. Thanks for participating, Lily! It was fun to get to know you a little better.
