⭐️ WICKHAM STARS — WEEK 2 COMPLETE! ⭐️

Two weeks down… and we’re officially starting to get the hang of this school thing! 😂📚✏️

Our Wickham Stars have been learning, growing, making new friends, remembering routines, and showing us so many reasons to celebrate! 😉

There have been big smiles, great questions, lots of learning, and SO many reasons to celebrate our students! 🌟

And to our AMAZING staff — THANK YOU! 💚💛
Thank you for the patience, flexibility, laughter, encouragement, problem-solving, and teamwork you bring every single day. You jump in, support one another, love on our kids, and somehow keep things moving even when the day doesn’t quite go according to plan! 😊

We are so lucky to have the people we do in our Wickham village. It truly takes all of us working together to help our Stars shine. ⭐️

Here’s to Week 2 in the books and many more great days ahead!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for helping us kick off our first all-staff day with so much love! 💚💛

The delicious yogurt parfait bar and coffee were the perfect way to start our day and made everyone feel so appreciated. It’s little acts of kindness like this that remind us what makes our Wickham community so special. 💛

Thank you for always finding ways to support our staff and make us feel celebrated. We are so grateful for you! ☕️🍓🥣

Our Wizards have been working hard and showing great growth on their FAST assessments! To celebrate their increased scores, three lucky teachers paid the price with a pie in the face! 🥧😆

The smiles, laughter, and excitement made for a memorable reward and a great way to recognize our students' dedication and effort. We are so proud of our Wizards for their hard work and growth!

Did Mrs. Hanrahan look especially excited?

The teachers may have gotten messy, but our students earned every bit of it!" 😄

Way to go, Wizards! 🎉✨

Today we welcomed back some former Wickham Wizards for our Senior Clap Out, and we were honored that so many chose to spend part of their last day of high school with us. Watching them walk the halls again brought back so many memories and reminded us of the incredible students they have become. We know you will do great things!

Before leaving, the seniors requested one last game of kickball on the Wickham playground. They even included a 1st and 4th grade class in their game! It was such a special moment watching our youngest Wizards laughing and playing alongside our graduating seniors.

Moments like these remind us what makes the Wickham community so special.

Once a Wickham Wizard, always a Wickham Wizard. 💛💚✨

☀️📚 O for Outside Day! 📚☀️

Our students enjoyed taking their reading time outdoors today! There’s something extra special about practicing literacy skills in the sunshine while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful weather. 🌳✨

We loved seeing our young readers so engaged, focused, and excited to learn outside the classroom walls! 💛
