HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH AT WJC!

Our 5th and 6th grade scholars brought history to life with their amazing presentations at our Hispanic Heritage Month Wax Museum!

Students researched and transformed into influential Hispanic and Latino figures, sharing their stories, accomplishments, and lasting impact. What a creative way to celebrate culture, history, achievement, and heritage while showcasing student learning!

We are so proud of our scholars for a job well done!

Our 7th grade Chargers are hard at work in Mrs. Barlow’s Math class during their Team Tower Challenge!

Students worked collaboratively to design and build a freestanding tower while putting some important skills into action: communication, perseverance, problem-solving, shared responsibility, and productive struggle!

We love seeing our Chargers thinking, creating, communicating, and working together! Way to go, 7th grade!
