Who wants to play in a pit of foam blocks, swing from a bar, and just bounce? The answer is Mrs. Clements' Intermediate School students! They got to do all of those things when they spent this morning at Twigs.
Moms, grandmas, aunts, and all of the other women who are positive role models, thank you for supporting the Pirates! Enjoy your day.
We have been celebrating all of our teachers and support staff this week. Pictured are just a few of the people who are committed to giving every Pirate an opportunity to succeed. We appreciate all that they do!
Every school has a nurse, including the Intermediate School. Laura Garrett joined the school district in January of 2025 and has been a nurse since 1995. Some of her duties include seeing students in the clinic if they’re not feeling well or students who need to take their prescribed medication. She was inspired to become a nurse by her aunt. “I was married and had two babies at home, but she told me I could do it, and I did!” When asked why she wanted to become a nurse, she said, “I want to make a difference.” Her two babies are now grown, and she has five grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 15. After work, she can be found spending time with them and attending their events.
Today is Teacher Appreciation Day. Thank you to all of our educators throughout the school district who are empowering Pirates to learn, lead, and succeed!
Becoming a butterfly takes time. Intermediate School teachers, Mrs. Clements and Mr. Ryan, along with the help of Mrs. Stringer, showed students the life cycle of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Students were able to release ten butterflies today!
Who are these masked heroes? They are some of the people who drive a school bus every day and make sure our Pirates get to school and back home. We need more heroes! If you are interested in becoming a superhero, we will help you get there! Contact our transportation department at 937-859-5121, ext. 7, for details.

Not all children learn the same. Intermediate School staff celebrate that as they recognize Autism Acceptance Month. Advocate, Educate, Accommodate, Include. That's what their shirts say, and that's what they do!
Intermediate School students were in a pickle this morning! They were learning a new game and the rules of pickleball. Four nets were set up inside the gym for an indoor game.
Congratulations to Candace Kraus! She was surprised to receive the Staff Spotlight Award this morning! Ms. Kraus is an Administrative Assistant at the Intermediate School. She was nominated for the award by Principal Heather Davis, who said, "Candace is a true gem in our school community, and WCIS is incredibly fortunate to have her helping keep our ship sailing every day." Congratulations Ms. Kraus!
Some of our Intermediate School staff put on their crazy or mismatched socks to recognize World Down Syndrome Day!
Thank you to the Moraine Police and Fire Department for having a pizza party with some of our Intermediate School students on Wednesday. After taking the Winter iReady Benchmark Assessment, any student who met their annual scaled score goal received a raffle ticket entry for the pizza party. Additionally, any student who showed growth in math or reading received an iReady Brag Tag. Did we see our own SRO Officer Burns helping out and having lunch with the kids? We love Officer Burns, and we love our community!
Mr. Seifert recently had a sound lab in his classroom. Students listened to sounds made by tuning forks, rubber bands, and rulers. They answered questions about the sounds. One of the things they discovered was that the thickness of a rubber band could affect the sound it made.
