WJHS Dance Wins BIG!
This weekend, our WJHS dance team brought home 2nd place in all of their routines: kick, jazz, and pom! The girls also received an overall best costume award! The dance team will be competing this weekend in the Van Buren Dance Invitational. They are hoping to improve their scores and make Washington proud! Please, congratulate the girls for their hard work and wish them luck for this coming weekend in Van Buren!
Is there joy in your classroom?
As I read Teachers, Don't Forget Joy (Education Week) today, I flashed back to the retreat days that we had this past summer.
We asked ourselves, why teach? Did you have a teacher or teachers that inspired you? Are we being like those teachers? Are we in this solely for test scores?
We answered those questions with inspirational stories of teachers that helped shape our lives. Then we developed and made commitments to The Wildcat Way.
In Teachers, Don't Forget Joy, Judy Wallis asks, "Isn't it possible to feel joy and still care about student test performance, teacher-evaluation instruments, and the demands of our curricula?"
Like her, I believe that it is.
So, keep up the good fight...and, don't forget joy!

No child should go hungry...
What did you have for dinner last night?
21.6% of children in NWA live in food insecure households.
Our number of kids in need has more than doubled since last year. We are in immediate need of ready-to-eat, non-perishable food items to create Snack Packs to feed many of our students. These Snack Packs help feed our students over the weekend when they may not be getting enough to eat at home. If you are a member of a religious, community, or business organization who would like to partner with us to help us feed these students, please contact our counselor, Marla York at mayork@bentonvillek12.org or 479-254-5345.
