Wise School

🏆 Last night, we celebrated our incredible student athletes at the Wildcats Sports Awards Banquet!
This year was one to remember, with 127 of our 132 students in grades 4–6 participating in athletics. From championship and finalist finishes across our land sports teams to impressive performances in the pool, our Wildcats showed dedication, teamwork, and school spirit every step of the way.
We are so proud of all our athletes and everything they accomplished this season. GO WILDCATS! 🐾

Beach day vibes and end of year smiles! 🏖️☀️ We’re making the most of our final days together before summer break begins!

As graduation approaches, we’re celebrating the Class of 2026 by highlighting some of their final experiences at Wise. Follow along each day as we look back on the moments, traditions, and milestones that made their journey unforgettable. As part of their final week of Hebrew and Israeli Culture Studies at Wise, our sixth graders put their knowledge to the test with a fun game of Israeli Food Go Fish! From familiar favorites to new discoveries, students celebrated the language, culture, and traditions they’ve explored throughout their years at Wise.

What a triumphant week for our Wildcats at Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in Iowa! 🌎🏆
Our 5th grade team earned an incredible 7th place finish, placing in the Top 10 in the world, while our 4th grade team secured 18th place! We are so proud of our students for their creativity, teamwork, dedication, and hard work. Congratulations to our amazing competitors for representing our school with excellence and Wildcat pride! 💙🐾

We spent the morning celebrating our incredible WPA for helping make this school year so special! From volunteering your time to supporting events, activities, and our classrooms, your dedication and generosity never go unnoticed. We truly couldn’t do it without your countless efforts and partnership. Thank you for helping create such a wonderful community for our students, families, and staff all year long! 💙🧡

Yesterday was such a special day at our Hagigat HaTorah Assembly as our kindergarten students received their very own mini Torahs. We are so proud of these sweet learners as they continue growing in their Jewish journey with curiosity, joy, and open hearts. Another meaningful part of the celebration was having our 6th grade students join alongside their kindergarten buddies, making this milestone even more special through the friendships and connections shared across generations of learners. May these Torahs inspire a lifelong love of learning, tradition, and connection. 📖✨

Our 4th graders had an unforgettable field trip to Sacramento yesterday! From exploring Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park and visiting the California State Railroad Museum to riding through Old Sacramento in a horse-drawn carriage, and trying their luck at gold panning. students had so much fun experiencing California history firsthand. They also met Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, and even had the exciting opportunity to step onto the floor of the Assembly! Everyone had an amazing time learning about California history and government while making incredible memories together.

Second Grade visited Our Big Kitchen L.A. They had a great time making over 2,000 patties and 500 chocolate chip cookies for the less fortunate. Students were given chocolate chip cookies to go so that they could pay it forward! A good time was had by all!

Our sixth graders recently took a field trip to the Getty Villa, where they explored the impact of the Silk Road throughout ancient civilizations. As they toured the exhibits, students searched for evidence of cross-cultural connections and influences through the lens of historians. By examining trade routes, commonly used materials, and everyday objects, they saw firsthand how ancient antiquities tell rich and often unwritten stories of connection between cultures. What a cool day of hands-on learning!

Today, Wise School’s Debate Team participated in their final Golden West Debate League Tournament of the year and it’s safe to say we ended on a high note! 🙌🏻

Out of 130 students and 43 teams from 8 schools, our amazing debaters took home 3rd, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 18th place team awards, as well as 1st, 13th, 18th, 21st, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th place speaker awards! We also collectively won 1st place school for total number of wins AND 1st place for total percentage of wins! 🏆

It was an incredible debate season, and we couldn’t be prouder of our debaters. Congratulations, Wildcats! 💙🧡
