STEM day 3 at WPS. We have some budding architects! Once the built, and rebuilt, they had to draw their design. We also recorded observations of our salt crystal growth - chemistry? or would it be geology? Then, we "planted" lima bean - with no dirt! This way we can really observe what happens when a plant grows - future farmers! Our community will need all of these!!
Day 2. Washington Primary Students set up their next experiment. We learned salt tastes yucky!! It disappears in water. But... what happens next? We'll have to wait and see what grows!!
Washington students are exploring STEM activities during summer school! On Day 1 we made predictions, did our experiment and documented our results. We asked, will it Sink or Float?
Some of our prediction were spot-on. Others were a little tricky!

BEST Grant Matching Funds
Now that the district has been awarded a $40 million BEST grant for the new PK-8 addition and high school renovation, the district must work with the State and the BEST Board to come up with $7.6 million matching funds through or in combination with a bond, cash, or grants. As we work through this process, we will keep the community updated.
WPS congratulates our students of the week for May 24, 2021. Through it all - persevere!!

The former AR Carnival took a new twist this year with a focus on STEM activities. We had beautiful weather for our 2 ½ hours of hands-on exploration!! Students visited 17 stations including Oobleck. geoboards, Archeology and creating a volcano explosion…. just to name a few!! What a blast!! A big “Thank you” to our 5th and 6th grade student helpers from Jefferson. We couldn't have done this without you. And, a Gigantic THANK YOU! to First National Bank of Rocky Ford for their generous donation of coins for our budding archeologists. Here are some snippets of the fun!
