The challenge: Enter the class in a silent, safe manner; find your seat; sit as silent as a statue. Check out Facebook to see how they did!

We are PUZZLED by how quickly this quarter is flying by! And speaking of... when our students finish work early or even need a brain break, they've sure been enjoying a few minutes of puzzle time. Here are the last two puzzles finished. We love these Washington students' smiles!

Washington's High Achievement Learners (HAL) students took a field trip on Tuesday with all NPPS 3-5th grade HAL students to the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora, NE. Their day was filled with "seeing the unseen" using hands-on experiments and demonstrations. If you ask these students, they'll tell you they had a fantastic day and recommend everyone takes time to visit, no matter their age. - Mrs. McIntosh, Washington HAL Leader "The Edgerton Explorit Center exists to instill and nurture in all people the joy of scientific discovery and exploration through hands-on learning experiences. Located in Dr. Harold Edgerton’s home town, the Edgerton Explorit Center inspires kids age 2 to 92 through exciting activities and state-of-the-art programming."

Compost Day 2024 was a total success!!
Mr. Ferguson's Kindergartners have been learning how to save their compost and how that can help them give back to the earth. Yesterday, Ferguson's students and their parents used that nutrient-rich compost to plant flowers! Washington is looking beautiful this Spring!!











Even with a few clouds, these Wildcats experienced quite the eclipse!! Check in with your kiddos this evening to hear what they learned and saw today! We sure enjoyed the awe in their voices and expressions.
If you’d like to add something fun to your evening convo, here’s an eclipse joke😃
Why did the teacher bring solar eclipse glasses to school??
She had BRIGHT students!!
