Wakanda Elementary

A NOTE FROM THE WAKANDA PRINCIPAL, NANCY ESTREM-FULLER

I need to apologize for my lack of News and Notes.  My mom has been sick with cancer this Spring and on May 18th she died.  She was 81 years old and in good health until this Spring so it was somewhat of a surprise.  Death is never easy but celebrating her life was good.  I realize how many people we each touch with our lives.

A NOTE FROM THE WAKANDA PRINCIPAL, MRS. ESTREM-FULLER

It seems like in each season there is a lot happening at Wakanda.  Spring is our time to get out of the classroom and explore.  There are many field trips and environmental site trips planned for May.  Please read the notes that come home and note what you will need to send to school so that your child can be part of the many spring trips.  Also please dress your child for the unpredictable Spring weather!

A NOTE FROM THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL, MRS. ESTREM-FULLER

Spring is the time of year that we take time to appreciate all the people that have made Wakanda School a positive, safe learning environment all year for your child.  We have many parents and friends that come to Wakanda each day to work with our students and help us with the many tasks in our school.  Our volunteers will never know how valuable they are to us.  We couldn't do without them!  Thank you!

WAKANDA HOLIDAY SEASON PLANS INCLUDE:

1.  We would like the tree that will be in the multipurpose room to be decorated with hats, mittens and socks that we will give to needy children.  If you are able, please send a new (or slightly used) pair of mittens, hat or socks with your child to school so we can decorate a tree.

If your child is in grades 3-5 I hope you have been hearing a lot about getting lots of sleep and eating a good breakfast because we have just finished the WKCE state test.  For those of you new to the world of testing here is some background information.  The Wisconsin Knowledge and Concept Exam is given to students annually in grades 3-5, 6, 7, 8 and 10.  The third and fifth graders are only tested in reading and math while the fourth graders are tested in reading, math, language arts, science and social studies.  The exam is given in November and we receive the result
