4th Grade students from Mrs. Brooks' homeroom class learning to square dance to the song " Turkey in the Straw" during music class.
In Library class, 1st and 2nd graders read How to Catch a Turkey, about a school that wants a turkey to be part of their school play. Then students worked with different building materials in STEM stations to come up with their own ideas for how to catch a turkey. They all showed off their excellent creativity and problem solving skills!

Fifth grade students have been studying electricity in science class. Using snap circuit kits, they created lights with on/off switches, a spinning fan, and sounding alarms. All of our students had so much fun with this activity!
During class time with Mrs. O’Dell, 4th and 5th grade students have been working on personal and group goals. In celebration of finishing the unit, students were placed in groups to set a goal for how many cups they could stack in 10 minutes without using their hands. The students were able to adjust their goal halfway through the activity.
Watauga kindergartners have been learning all about community helpers! Last week, we had visits from first responders and also learned how hard our awesome custodians Ms. Becky and Ms. Sasha work to keep our school beautiful!
Good afternoon,
We were all heartbroken when we learned that Cameron Craig had lost his life in the line of duty as a local Firefighter. The services to honor his sacrifice will occur on Wednesday afternoon and the procession will have a tremendous impact on traffic in our community. In order to honor Cameron's ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that our buses and car traffic do not interfere with the procession, all Washington County Public Schools will dismiss 2 hours early on Wednesday, October 25. Childcare will be available at all middle and elementary schools for working families who need that service. Each school will provide individual details prior to Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding. We know you join us in loving, supporting, and praying for everyone involved.
Thank you,
Keith Perrigan, Ed.D.
