Going Above and Beyond! 💙
Our School Resource Officer, Officer Holmes, never stops at just the expected duties. Today, he visited our math classes to show students how the coordinate plane is used in the real world — using an actual map!
His hands-on demonstration made learning come alive and helped our students see how math plays an important role in everyday problem-solving.
We’re so grateful for Officer Holmes and all he does to support our school!

ZEBRAS CAUGHT DOING GOOD THINGS!🦓
Something awesome is happening at WRJH! When one of our Zebras is caught doing something kind, helpful, or just plain amazing, their name goes into a special drawing.
Each month, one student from each grade level is drawn and gets lunch with Mrs. Bopp! 🍕
We love seeing our students making good choices and spreading positivity. Keep up the great work, Zebras — you never know when you might get “caught” next!

Look what grew from Mrs. Simmonds' CPSF grant! 🌱 Students picked lettuce, cauliflower, celery, and brewed the tastiest lemon-balm tea. They LOVED trying everything they helped grow—and yes, they were very proud (and a little surprised!) at how good their garden tastes!
