Washington Elementary

Have an amazing summer! See you in August!

Today marked the last day of school for WESD students!

We are incredibly proud of their hard work, persistence and commitment to academic excellence throughout the 2025-2026 school year!

Wishing all of our students a safe, restful and fun summer break! We look forward to welcoming them back for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10!

🎓✨ Our little Falcons are ready to soar! ✨🎓

Today we proudly celebrated our kindergarteners! From learning their ABCs to making new friends and growing in confidence, our students have accomplished so much this year.

We are so proud of each and every one of our Falcons as they spread their wings and get ready for first grade! Thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and families for supporting our students every step of the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! The sky is the limit for our Falcons! 🎉

Please join us in congratulating our K-3 Literacy Coach, Lynel Sonneveldt, for being recognized as one of WESD’s May Employees of the Month! 🎉

Lynel’s passion for literacy, dedication to student success, and unwavering support for both students and staff make a lasting impact every day. Her leadership and commitment to helping young learners grow as readers inspire our entire school community.

Thank you, Lynel, for all you do to make a difference. We are so proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition! 💙👏

Free summer meals available! Check the flyer for details on days and times.

We’re excited to celebrate Bryan H., one of our talented 6th-grade students, for being named the winner of this year’s Mural Art Contest! 🎨✨

Pictured here beside his completed mural, Bryan brought his creative vision to life in a big way. Transforming a small sketch into a full-scale wall mural takes vision, patience, and creativity —and Bryan delivered something truly inspiring for our school community.

His colorful artwork now brightens our campus and reminds us we are “Better Together: Hope • Peace • Kindness.” 💙

Join us in congratulating Bryan on this outstanding achievement! 👏

🌶️🏆 Things are heating up as we head into the last few weeks of school! Our staff recently took a break from the busy end-of-year rush to have a little fun with our Salsa Showdown competition!

Staff members brought their best homemade salsa recipes, and after plenty of taste-testing and voting, we crowned our winners:

🥉 3rd Place – Mrs. Maroney
🥈 2nd Place – Mrs. Lamb
🥇 1st Place – Mr. Chris

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this such a fun event. A little friendly competition, lots of laughs, and some amazing salsa made for a great time together! 🌮🎉

🍎✨ This past week, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week — a special time to recognize the incredible educators who inspire, encourage, and shape future generations every single day.

We are also so grateful to the families who helped make this week extra meaningful by showering our teachers with flowers, treats, kind notes, and thoughtful gestures. Your support and appreciation reminded our educators just how valued they are by the community they serve.

From early mornings to late nights, teachers go above and beyond to create meaningful learning experiences, support their students, and make a lasting impact both inside and outside the classroom. Their dedication does not go unnoticed.

Thank you to all teachers — and to the families who celebrated alongside us — for helping create such a positive and supportive school community. 👏

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎✨

A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for treating the staff to a delicious lunch today! Your generosity, kindness, and continued support mean so much to our teachers and staff. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do to help make our school community so special.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the hardworking educators who make a difference every day! ❤️

Today we celebrate National School Nurse Day and the incredible care, compassion, and dedication of our very own Nurse Maggie! 💙

At Washington Elementary, our Falcons are healthier, safer, and stronger because of you. From comforting students to keeping our school community well, your impact is felt every single day.

Thank you, Nurse Maggie, for being the heart of our school and a true Falcon hero! 🦅

We’re feeling so appreciated today! 💐

A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful parents who took the time to celebrate our teachers with beautiful flowers today. Your kindness and support mean so much, and it truly brightened our day.

Our teachers work hard every single day, and gestures like this remind us how strong and special our school community is. We’re so grateful for you!
