We also did some field day STEM which included making a finish line banner tall enough to fit the racer underneath and making a cone to play ring toss. Our 3D shape unit came in handy for this activity!

WCH Field Day 2022
Hello Creekers,
We cannot thank you all enough for your flexibility and understanding for changing the field day date with short notice. Field day was a huge success this school year and we need to thank the following for making this event so amazing (Mrs. Wolf for putting everything together, WCH staff for your help with running the stations, WCH parents that were able to come in and be a class helper, 5th grade student helpers, and the lastly thank you to the entire school community for getting the paperwork in and being so supportive).
One special shout out to the 5th grade student helpers! We received so many compliments and positive messages from the WCH school staff and community. We are extremely proud of how you displayed the CANDO expectations while helps our younger Creekers at each field day station.
Way to go!
Sincerely,
WCH Admin Team

WCH School Wide Mission
Dear WCH Families,
We have completed our school wide missions of targeting all the CANDO expectations! This all started back in the beginning of November of this school year, and we have seen tremendous growth school wide. The school community has continued to see students displaying all of CANDO expectations and we are now shifting to a different mission of catching students in the "act of displaying one of the CANDO expectations” in real time.
Please remind your students about this mission and we will be including this on our school announcements each day. Staff will be focusing on catching students in the "act of displaying one of the CANDO expectations” in real time and we will be posting these acts of the announcements. Look at all those Creeker Card recipients that are in our newsletter this week!
We wanted to send out a shout out to our school community for their continued support with our school wide missions. Thank you so much for your help! There has been a noticeable difference since we started these missions in all areas of the school building.
Many thanks,
Creekers
