Students in ELA 8 have been learning the geography and history of Hawaii. They are building their background knowledge before studying historic documents on the annexation of our 50th state in order to form and write formal arguments. Tuesday, students rotated from station to station gathering information and answering questions. They eventually followed a "trail" leading to the Napali Coast where they posed for a selfie with a waterfall and found treasure in the form of candy!
WL-S elementary needs your help with March Cereal Madness!

Favorite school memory: Elementary Track and Field day
People who have been an inspiration to me include: Paul Waibel
Because: He made me feel comfortable with my singing in choir, and he is the main reason why I even did Musical in the first place. He has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and experience new things. Thanks homie.
Lately, I have been reading: Hamlet, because I have to for English class.
My advice to parents: Don’t be super strict, but don’t be super laid back either. Find a happy medium between the two.

My advice to parents: My advice to parents would be to let kids make mistakes. You can’t protect kids from everything. Mistakes are necessary for kids to learn.
