Our Woodland Wolverines cross country team hit the trails at Wannamaker Park! These athletes move fast, so we weren't able to catch everyone on camera this time, and a few runners were not able to make it to this meet. We'll be at an upcoming meet to get photos of the rest of the team, so stay tuned!

Keep up the great work, Wolverines!

Friday, we stopped by Woodland Middle School for their first PBIS Pep Rally of the year! 🐺🎉

The energy was electric from the start, with the Marching Wolverines from Woodland High School kicking things off in style. Even cooler? The band is made up of WMS middle schoolers themselves, showing off what Wolves can do. The WMS cheerleaders kept the spirit pumped up all rally long!

With a DJ keeping the beats going, there were games for students and staff, attendance recognitions to celebrate great habits, and plenty of prizes handed out along the way. And the moment everyone was waiting for... the spirit stick went home with the 8th graders this time around!

Huge thanks to Woodland High School for showing up to support the Wolves. This is what DD4 pride looks like!

Friday morning, we stopped by Harleyville Elementary School for the HES Kindergarten Nursery Rhyme Parade!

Kindergarten teachers Ms. Crosby and Ms. Rogers wrapped up their nursery rhyme unit by turning the whole hallway into a storybook, with students dressing up as their favorite characters and marching the halls to cheers from classmates and staff. We saw Humpty Dumpty and the King's Men, Little Bo Peep and her sheep, Little Miss Muffet, Hickory Dickory Dock, Little Johnnie and Baa Baa Black Sheep, Star Light Star Bright, the Three Little Pigs, Old Mother Hubbard, and even a King from a castle far, far away!

Way to go, Kindergarten! We love seeing the joy in learning at HES.
