Washington students and staff had lots of fun during day 4 of American Education Week. We pulled off a "switch day" and wrote about what we would do if we were the principal. Be ready for tomorrow - it's School Spirit Day!!
Day 3 of American Education Week had Washington students and staff dressed for a workout! We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings with Teacher/Student Switch Day!
Today during American Education Week, we took the time to thank someone that has helped us with our education in one way or another. We also celebrated with Wear One Color Day. Tomorrow is another fan favorite of Work Out Wednesday!
Today Washington students and staff rolled into Monday by being comfy in their pajamas for American Education Week! Tuesday 11/19 will be "Wear All One Color Day".
Next week is American Education Week! Here are our themed dress up days to celebrate!
It’s getting close to time for another Quarterly Raffle Drawing!!
If you haven’t bought any raffle tickets yet this quarter, you can buy them at the school store and possibly win a Kindle Fire, wireless mouse, fast food lunch, or headphones.
Each raffle ticket is 5 Washington Bucks and the drawing will be held on Friday, December 20th!
It was Washington's turn to choose two students for Warrior of the Month at our school board meeting. Congrats to our 4th grader Lincoln Fiorini and 5th grader Aiden Melvin! These two students exemplify what it means to be a kind, respectful, and engaged student. Keep up the great work boys!
Washington School celebrated Veteran's Day today by attending an assembly put on by Pontiac Junior High! We were able to listen to previous Washington students share the history behind Veteran's Day, facts, music, and guest speaker Scot Schickel. It was a very powerful and insightful assembly. Thank you to all of the Veterans who have served or are currently serving our country!
Don't forget, Veterans Day is this Monday! Please join us in wearing red, white, and blue as we honor our Veterans.
Thank you to ALL the generous donations that have come in from our Amazon Wish List for the school store and other activities planned for the students at school! The staff and students are very appreciative!!
There are still a few items that are on the list, if you are still interested in donating!

NO SCHOOL today for Election Day! See you all tomorrow!
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL today!
We finished out our Red Ribbon Week with Red Day, and our very own election. Our Enrichment Committee put together a polling center so that our students could experience their voting rights they will receive when they get older. After voting, everyone was giving an I voted sticker and signed our "We Voted" poster.
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL Monday (11/4) and Tuesday (11/5) for Election Day! Enjoy your long weekend!
Still a couple more items needed from the school store. If you haven't donated and would like to help out. Click the link below:

Thank you for your support!!
Today, we teamed up against drug by wearing our best sports jerseys and gear! We know tomorrow is going to be a big hit with "Drugs make you WACK!" so we are dressing WACKY!
PAJAMA Day was a GREAT way to kick off Red Ribbon Week! Tomorrow is "Team Up Against Drugs", so wear your favorite sports jersey or sports gear!
Washington School will be accepting non-perishable food items (canned and boxed) now through November 26th. This year we have broken it down into grade levels.
4th Grade - canned soup, peanut butter, toilet paper, and pasta
5th Grade - canned vegetables, canned fruit, granola bars, and toothpaste
We are proud of this community service project and have had a great annual turn out. Last year, Washington School collected 300 items!!!! Please send items in with your child to their classroom teacher. All items will be delivered to our local Pontiac pantries. Thank you for considering donating to this wonderful drive.
