Holiday Spirit Week

The Ag Lab Comes to WDES!

The Agriculture Lab will be visiting our school January 21st-24th! This interactive, hands-on experience will provide our students with the opportunity to explore the world of agriculture, learn about where their food comes from, and engage in activities that connect science, technology, and nature.

To make this experience a success, we need volunteers to assist with activities and help guide students through the lab. Whether you can volunteer for a full day or just a few hours, your support will make a big difference!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please complete the Volunteer Interest Form using the link provided (https://forms.office.com/r/AWtKdfiVtL). All volunteers must have completed the volunteer requirements prior to the event.

The fall and winter season bring a time of togetherness. We encourage you to take a few moments together to talk about family history, look through old photos, or share favorite stories from the past. Whether it’s a tale about a grandparent’s adventures or your own childhood memories, these moments can spark meaningful conversations and help children feel connected to their roots. For a list of activities, visit https://bit.ly/FamilyStoriesMonth.

Consider writing down these stories, recording them, or even creating a family storybook to pass down through the years. Enjoy this special time together!
