In September we celebrated Dot Day in the EMS library. Mrs. Courtney read The Dot by Peter Reynolds to K-6th graders. The Dot is about growth mindset and being creative. The older students illustrated their dot with something new they tried. The younger students decorated their dots with their favorite colors. Our library looks beautiful with all these dots.
Last week was National 4-H week. Some of our 4-H students exhibited some of their projects in the library. It is awesome to see student success outside of school.

The BOE determined that 5.5 million of bond projects would meet the district's highest needs and allow future capital outlay projects to maintain facilities. Watch this video for cost breakdown: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uAZGFwFlNV3i7pgUGndYRm-s0tWJ8suy/view?usp=sharing
The project would replace obsolete fire alarm systems at the EMS and high schools. The new system would allow for all emergency communication, including fire, tornado, and crisis, through one system. Communication in emergencies is vital for increased safety and security.
Sophomores had the chance to visit Washburn Tech today to explore the programs available for their Junior and Senior years.

One area the bond focuses on is ADA access. Parking lot improvements and new ramp access at the high school will provide a better entrance experience for all people. Asphalting the gravel and widening the stadium ramps and deck will also improve ADA accessibility.
