Did you figure out the answer to Roman's Riddle?
Our 3rd Graders from A8 celebrated Children's Day on May 5th wearing their Samurai WARRIOR hats.
I spy the Origami Fish tucked in the Samurai Warrior hat. Can you see it?
Thank you Wheeler PTSO
Military Contest Winners
Congratulations to Mrs. Ocier's class (Grade 2), Mrs. Martinez (Grade 3), and Mrs Horton's (Grade 5). Ms. Hernandez from Island Palms said winners were based on a classroom percentage in the judging categories (grammar, creativity, & thoughtfulness in the prompt). Therefore, those classrooms won based on team effort in their essays! Congratulations on showing your Warrior spirit! Thank you students and Island Palms.
