Every day is a great day to be a Plainsman, but some days are extra special! We had the privilege of walking over (nearly out entire campus!) to Monterey to participate in the Lady Plainsmen State Sendoff! Our students were great cheer and parade leaders and represented Wheelock and the Plainsmen well! Proud to be Plainsmen! Go win state! (more pics and videos to come! Watch the comments!)

PLAINSMEN FAMILIES!!! Our Monterey Lady Plainsmen are headed to STATE and they're getting on the road tomorrow! Wheelock students will be showing our support by getting decked out in our best Plainsmen gear and red and blue on Thursday, February 27th! Check your child's Dojo for more information about how we're participating! Let's go, Lady Plainsmen!


Get to know the Girl Scouts on February 25th from 5:30-6:30p in the Wheelock cafeteria! We hope to see lots of our families tomorrow evening!

What a fun week of performances! Come check out 1st and 2nd grade fine arts on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 5:30p!



Check out our 3rd graders in Science class this week! Students were tasked with answering the question "How can a building remain standing in an earthquake?" and made their own towers!










Happy School Counselor's Week to the BEST COUNSELOR EVER!!! Mrs. Crist is such a blessing to our campus and serves our students and staff with passion, kindness and dedication. She prioritizes our students over all other tasks and they love spending time with her. Thank you, Mrs. Crist, for being the very best! Whee love you!

The teams are set and the rivalry is already brewing at the W! Start making plans now to dress up for SUPER WEEK as we cheer our teams on to victory! Although we're focused on the Chiefs and Eagles (Go, Chiefs!), students are also free to don their own favorite teams or Taylor Swift!


Last week, our amazing fifth graders modeled the formation of canyons and deltas using a stream table! They connected the water cycle to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, exploring how water shapes our planet.
Their excitement and curiosity brought these concepts to life!
(Shout out to Mr. Young, our Ready, Set, Teach high school intern!)











We are so excited to be offering this fun opportunity for our families! Check it out! Orders are due Feb 7th!
