Our practice eLearning Day is underway. Students are pretending to be at home as if it was a true eLearning Day, working online and corresponding with their teachers via computer.
The summer of 2019 was a busy one for the custodial and maintenance staff at Willard Elementary School. Walking into the building, it is obvious that much time and care was taken over the summer to give the building a fresh look. This is evident the moment you step foot in the front doors, as you are greeted with a new entry rug emblazoned with the Willard logo. Gone is the old carpet throughout the building, replaced by a new, warm, and modern look. The egg shell white paint color has been replaced with tones of gray, beige, and navy blue. Sleek new bulletin boards have replaced mismatched boards throughout the building. Signage for the new PRIDE initiative can be found throughout the building. In the gymnasium, new wall pads cover the walls at each end, providing both safety and a new look.
We are so grateful to our Superintendent, Mr. Rolland Abraham, and our wonderful School Board for investing in the aesthetics of our building. Also, a BIG THANKS to all of those who worked tirelessly this summer to revamp the building and get it ready for students!
Willard's annual MUM SALE is underway! Please help support our school by purchasing mums from a Willard student or by calling our office at 765-584-9171 ext. 1200. Our hardy mums are always beautiful and come in 9" pots for the low price of $8. A good portion of this money will go right back to Willard! Share and get the word out and order yours today!
Don't forget, school will not be in session on Monday, September 2nd in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy your three day weekend!
Willard students will participate in a PRACTICE eLearning Day on Friday, August 30th. On this day, students should arrive at school as normal. Once at school, the first two hours of the school day will include students completing assignments on their Chromebooks. All correspondence with their teacher during this two hour window will take place via the computer. Additionally, students may wear school-appropriate pajamas to school! Again, students should plan to attend school as normal on our practice eLearning Day this Friday, August 30th.
As a reminder, our first scheduled eLearning Day will be on September 23rd. On this day, students will not attend school and will complete assignments from home on their Chromebooks.
