On October 9, the Bazine Fire Department visited Western Plains South. The students learned about fire safety and what to do in case of a fire. Each student was given the chance to operate the fire hose . Everyone did very well except Mrs. Wittman who "accidentally" sprayed the students! Thank you, Bazine Fire Department!




The Ransom and Utica fire departments visited North students today for National Fire Prevention Week. They presented fire safety topics and showed the students their gear and trucks. Thank you for helping us be more prepared in case of a fire!











📚✨ The Book Fair is Coming—Save the Date! ✨📚
We are so excited to announce that our Book Fair will be here on October 22, 2025! 🎉 Mark your calendars for this special event that helps spark a love of reading in every child.
This year, make shopping easy, safe, and cash-free with a Scholastic eWallet. The eWallet is a digital payment option that allows parents to set a spending limit for their child ahead of time. No need to send cash to school—students can shop independently and confidently! 💳📖
Best of all, the eWallet can be shared with family and friends. Loved ones near or far can contribute funds directly, making it a wonderful way for grandparents, aunts, uncles, or family friends to help your child build their own library. 🏠💌
Set up your child’s eWallet today and get ready for an amazing day full of books, fun, and discovery. Stay tuned for more details as the Book Fair gets closer!

✨👩⚕️👨🚒📬 Last week, our preschoolers had so much fun learning all about Community Helpers!
The children pretended to be doctors, mail carriers, firefighters, and many more as they discovered how important these helpers are in our everyday lives. 🩺📮🚒
Through play and imagination, they explored the different roles people have in keeping our communities safe, healthy, and connected. 💙
We’re so proud of our little learners for working hard and having fun while learning about the world around them! 🌎✨

No models needed today! After sorting pictures of various types of land moving, our 2-3 STEM class put on their walking shoes and went on a scientific scavenger hunt right here on school grounds. 🏫 We found spots where the land had moved and discussed whether wind or water was the likely culprit. The students did an amazing job making their own predictions based on what they observed. Learning to be a scientist is all about looking closely at the world around you! 🌎 #OutdoorLearning #Science #Erosion #2ndGrade #3rdGrade



🌟 Western Plains South Preschool Adventures This Week! 🌟
This week our theme was “All About Me – We Are Each Special!” 💖✨
👧👦 The children learned about what makes each of us unique and wonderful. We had so much fun:
🎨 Created our own “Mini Me” and colored them in.
🖼️ Drew self-portraits and made a collage of our favorite foods.
🏠 Built homes with construction blocks and little people during playtime.
Every activity helped us celebrate that we are one of a kind and that makes us extra special!
We had such a great week of learning, creating, and growing together! 💕
