For week 3 of Exploration Camp, students learned about simple machines and amusement park rides. They even created their very own simple machine - a kite! They also read with their buddies and enjoyed some gross motor fun!
It's official! We would like to take a moment to send off two of our long-term Blue Jays into their next chapter of RETIREMENT! Doug Moot and Laura Daniels have been with WCS for 25+ years. They've played integral parts in developing and maintaining our school, and they will be missed, deeply. Make sure to visit page 2 of the Blue Jay By-Lines to continue reading about their time spent with us! Thank you, Doug and Laura. We wish you well!

Week 2 of Summer Exploration Camp had students learning about rodeos, ending with a field trip to the Allegany County Fair! Students learned how to lasso, what barrell racing is, and how to care for farm animals.
On Tuesdays at our Summer Exploration Camp, we spend quality time with a Buddy reading, crafting, and playing! Each older student is paired with a younger student, building positive connections, feeling a sense of belonging to WCS.
Week 1 of Summer Exploration Camp focused on Playground Science relating to Simple Machines. On Thursday, we Playground Hopped visiting 4 local playgrounds comparing their equipment to our Playground. Our friend Blue, the Bluejay, had a great day of play and fun too!

On Friday last week, our 6th grade CTE class made chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies in the Home Ec Room! They worked in assigned groups with specific jobs and then handed them out to their MS/HS teachers with Thank You cards they had been working on in class with Ms. Stevens. On Monday, the students made homemade pancakes and delivered them to their teachers with a side of fruit!
The students exhibited teamwork, collaboration, and problem solving, which they demonstrated with flying colors! Being able to taste their results may have played a big role in their successful teamwork! Great way to end the year 6th graders!!
Our 3rd through 5th graders had their own water day adventures at Trout Run Camp's Splash Pad! No better way to spend a 90 degree day than this!
Kindergarten and 1st graders beat the heat today with water day!

Summer is almost here! If your child needs an immunization this summer to prepare for next school year, Allegany County offers clinics in Belmont in June, July and August to get those needed immunizations.
WCS will be hosting a Summer Exploration Camp from July 8th through August 13th for our current elementary students in grades Kindergarten through 5. The program will be 2 days a week, with transportation provided. Look for the blue flyer coming home with your child on Wednesday.
In addition to campers, we are looking for 2 responsible WCS high school students interested in working as student helpers. The deadline to apply is Friday, June 20th. If interested, see Mrs. Matteson for an application.
Kindergarten and First Grade friends had a Bubbles Day today! They had gum ball races, bubble blowing contests, and free bubble play outside. In the afternoon, the classrooms joined together and had some fun bubble related activities! (We think Miss Marguerite might have to be deemed a professional bubble blower after this!!) 🫧
These boys knew how to end their year in style!
Our Seniors took the lead once again with the Senior/Kindergarten graduation walk through the halls this morning!
