Let's support our Wildcats in this amazing initiative. Check out how you can join in and contribute: http://www2.heart.org/goto/westhancock25

Mrs. Sours' class is diving into biomes, ecosystems, and water conservation! 🌍💧 Students had a blast playing a game of "Would You Rather," where they chose their answers and explained their reasoning. It was a fun and engaging way to learn about the environment while sparking great discussions! 🌱✨
🚢 Titanic Challenge Success! 🚢
Our 5th grade Challenge students wrapped up their study of the Titanic by breaking out of the Titanic Escape Room! 🧩🔐 Using their knowledge of the historic voyage, they tackled logic puzzles, cracked codes, and unlocked boxes, all while racing against the clock. ⏳
These students worked together as a team and successfully sailed through the challenge! 👏 Way to go, future problem-solvers!
