Thank you so much to the Warsaw Education Foundation for the grant they provided for our 6th graders to have ukuleles! We've been having a great time in music class learning about the ukulele and playing our first chords. We really appreciate the opportunity to be able to have these for years to come! #ExperienceWCS

Mrs. Cooksey's class held their "Peep-Mobiles" contest today. The groups of students designed, built, tested, and competed with their cars built from legos. The cars had to hold two peeps and go the furthest down the ramp. The students also learned the importance of seat belts, as some peeps flew out of their cars! #ExperienceWCS
