Our 5th grade producers had fun reminiscing over the last 6 years of elementary school. We wish all our 5th graders the best as they head to middle school!

The 5th grade Physical Education Equipment managers are the muscles that helped move the school this year! After their PE class, these leaders switch out and set up equipment for the afternoon K-2 classes. Then at the end of the day, they come back to help Mr. Schmauss put all the equipment away, showing great responsibility and commitment towards their job.

On top of these responsibilities, they also help set up and tear down each Leadership Celebration. They volunteer to help set up for concerts, Sharpen the Saw Day, and Field Day. Whenever a dependable team is needed, these are the students who are called and they show up!

Waukee Elementary 4th graders took a tour of the Des Moines Art Center and Pappajohn Sculpture Park on Tuesday. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to see amazing artwork by many different artists using a variety of mediums. Many of the art styles they observed have been discussed and practiced during art class. It was a beautiful day for a field trip!

We were honored to receive hand-painted kindness rocks from the Waukee Girls on the Run team. The rocks have found special places on desks and throughout our building. Thank you for the thoughtful gift and for the encouragement and positivity they bring to our team.
