Timberwolf Trot Update
We are doing a great job Washington; we are a little over a week into fundraising for the Timberwolf Trot and are doing awesome! Today Mrs. Hernday’s class is in the lead with $885.00 raised, watch out as Ms. Gordy’s AM class is close behind!!
We still have some work to do, so keep registering your students and collecting donations. Students can be registered on thegetmovincrew.com website. Donations can be made through the student’s web page or brought into school throughout the fundraising period. Donations brought into school will be added to the site and included in any incentive drawing.
We had our first winner of many. Preston Simmons won the University of Milwaukee Fan Pack. We have a lot of great incentives coming up next week that will be raffled off throughout the week. Every student who has raised $25 or more by Sunday night will be put into a drawing for Tosa East Spirit Wear. Way to come together as a TEAM Washington; let’s keep up the great work!

Science & Engineering Day - Grades 3-5th
On Thursday, May 4th we are welcoming the Longfellow Middle School STEM students for our first Science & Engineering Day. The purpose behind this day is to celebrate science and engineering (STEM), support 21st century thinking, build connections across schools, and have students participate in student created design challenges. In the future, we hope to include all grades, but just our 3rd through 5th graders will participate this year. More information to come!
