Earlier this month Washington students had their first fire drill of the school year! Everyone did a great job listening, following directions, and staying safe. We’re proud of how quickly they lined up and exited the building calmly. Safety is always a top priority! 🔥🚒👏 #FireSafety #TheWashingtonWay
Our Washington Birth–3 Program had the best time visiting Millie’s Playland!

Ms. Ruiz’s class read The Color Monster by Anna Llenas and talked about how our feelings can be all sorts of colors. Then they became scientists and explored how colors can change—just like our emotions—through a hands-on experiment. We loved seeing science and feelings come together. 🎨🔎🌈 #STEM #LearningThroughPlay #WICOR #SEL #TheWashingtonWay
