Out of abundance of caution there was an ambulance called to the WES Field Day due to a student injury. The student's parent is here and the student is safe. He will be getting medical treatment. Field day continues with lots of excited kids enjoying the festivities. The ambulance was parked between WES and WHS. There were no issues at the high school.
Phone lines in Alma have been disrupted from last night's storm. WHS, WES, and the District Office currently cannot receive incoming phone calls. Please email your respective school secretaries via school office email accounts: whs-office@usd329.org and wes-office@usd329.org

Tate Wenderott, 8th grade~ Advanced Art Student, has been doing a lot of pencil drawings this semester. He had just finished up his last project, drawing The White House. We were talking and both came up with the idea, that doing a picture of The Brandt House would be perfect, as it has just opened recently! If you don't know about this place, you must check it out!! https://brandthouse.com/ Here is some information given to me by one of the owners~ Amanda Gnadt.
"Alma’s historic hotel, was built in 1887 by Joseph and Christena Brandt. The limestone building is of the Italianate style and has always been a cornerstone of downtown Alma. The hotel was restored and reopened to guests in 2025 with seven rooms and a guest lounge. Brandt House prides itself on preserving its historic charm while offering modern hospitality for today's travelers." Great job, Tate!

I am so glad that Ms. Heather, a Para at WES, was in my classroom the day I was presenting about and having the students work on the redesigning of the Wabaunsee County Sherrif's Patch (contest)! She just happened to be filling in for someone. Knowing that she enjoys doing art; I said, "Ms. Heather, you should participate!" She did, and I submitted the entries along with my students'... and look what happened (click link- to find out more info)... she won! Congratulations!!
