Congratulations to South Elementary students and staff who showed their school spirit in the Bazine parade with a decorated Western Plains bus, giving out candy to parade watchers, and singing the Bobcat song. Students painted signs, then cooled off with watermelon and a playground water fight with teachers! All were surprised to win a prize for the WPS "Bobcats back Bazine!" parade entry--a great way to kick-off the new school year at South!

Elementary Basketball Skills Camp
Isn't it amazing how it takes hours of work to prepare for an event that is going to last two hours? This is what happened with the 8th grade promotion/awards night. Sure, there were a few glitches, but in the end, it all turned out great! With that, I would like to thank those that helped with making the evening a success. First, the JH teachers and JH students, along with the janitors, spent a lot of time cleaning and setting up the chairs and tables for the evening (and put them away the next morning). Marisol helped with decorations and setting up. The Garza's for the use of their table cloths and their help with setting up, but mostly for the delicious cakes! There wasn't any left over! These cakes are one of my favorite parts of the promotions! Next, I would like to thank 7th grade parents, Nohelia Mendez and Karla Munoz, and Tiffany Kraft, for serving the cake and drinks. Awesome job! In addition, I would like to thank Pat Flax for her help with the practice and for playing the piano, and Mrs. Heim for her help throughout the day. I really can't list here everyone I should thank, because so many of you stepped in when you saw a need. Thank you for doing that. Finally, I am so thankful that the weather wasn't and more severe than it was!
Students in 2nd through 5th grade at Western Plains North Elementary celebrated reaching their AR goals with a fun trip to Fore Lanes in Ness City. Great job, Bobcats—keep up the hard work and keep reading! 🐾

The 4th and 5th grade class at Western Plains North traveled to the Fick Fossil Museum and the Buffalo Bill Cultural Center in Oakley followed by a hike at Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park and of course found a geocache along the way! It was a fun end of the year field trip for everyone!
The 4th and 5th grade class of Western Plains North enjoyed tours of the Ness City Museums and the old bank building. It was a fun day packed full of local history.

Books and Bubbles, A Magical day of Literacy and Science!
Mrs. Sandoval's K-1 class at Western Plains South had the special opportunity to host the incoming kindergarten class for a fun and educational event we called books and bubbles!
Our day began with a peer reading session where our k-1 students proudly read favorite books to their future classmates. After reading time, we shifted gears to something more hands on Giant Bubbles! we ended with a smoke filled bubble experiment adding STEM to the mix as students were able to bounce the bubble in the air and see the smoke release when it popped. our K-1 students took on the role of mentors while exploring the "why" behind the wonder .
🧸 Welcome to Preschool Day! 🖍️
Last week we had a special day in our Preschool class as we welcomed future preschoolers to experience what a day in Pre-K is all about! 🎉
Our little guests had the chance to meet their future teacher, Mrs. Tocohua, explore their new classroom, and get a feel for the fun and learning that awaits them. From circle time to hands-on activities, it was all about building comfort, curiosity, and confidence.
Transition days like this are so important—they help toddlers and young children ease into the preschool environment, making that first day a lot less scary and a lot more exciting! 💛
And of course… they all had so much fun! We can’t wait to officially welcome them to our preschool family soon. ✨
🎈 Preschool to Kindergarten Transition Day! 🎈
What an exciting day for our Preschoolers—they got a special taste of Kindergarten life! Our Kindergarten class welcomed them with open arms and even gave fun presentations to show them what it's like to be in "the big kids' class."
The highlight of the day? Making giant balloons and experimenting with floating bubbles—so much laughter and wide-eyed wonder! Their smiles said it all. 😊
The day was led by the wonderful Mrs. Sandoval, our Kindergarten teacher, who made sure every child felt welcomed and excited. It was a joyful and meaningful experience, and now our Preschoolers can’t wait to start their next big adventure in Kindergarten!
Way to go, future Kindergartners! 🎉📚💛
