PATHWAYS TO BRIGHT FUTURES DONATIONS
Sometimes, it's impossible to find adequate words to express gratitude, and those of us in Wurtland were certainly left speechless today. Pathways to Bright Futures, a Pathways charitable foundation, donated $1,000 and 1,200 food items to our Wurtland Schools Food Bank. We are so grateful for this incredible generosity!
In Wurtland, we are on a mission for our kids! If an obstacle is presented, there is no question that we will dig in our heels and find a way to tackle it. Luckily, we are supported by many neighbors and community partners who believe in us as much as we believe in ourselves. We believe in Wurtland, and we #believeinGC!

GEOLOGIC TIMESCALE ACTIVITY
Students in Mrs. Dornon's classes have been working hard and collaborating in the hallways this week on a geologic timescale activity. This is proof that science can be fun!
THE SUN IS SHINING
The sun is shining on Wurtland Middle School (both literally and figuratively). Mr. Blevins added some new artwork to brighten the library. Layla and Kendra approve! Does anyone recognize those lyrics?!
LEARNING and GROWING TOGETHER
Today was a special day for Wurtland Elementary. Our middle school industrial arts students presented the school with two cold gardening beds, a gardening bench, and even some decorative posts. Our agriculture students brought dirt, guidebooks, and fresh basil. We can't wait to see their green thumbs hard at work!
Good morning!
At about 10:20 a.m. this morning, school administration received a report that a visitor was trying to get in side doors at our building. Out of an abundance of caution, school administration implemented a lockout until the visitor could be identified. Officer Elliott Gollihue cleared the campus and school operations resumed as normal.
Thank you for your understanding.
As always, please reach out to us with any questions: 606.836.1023.

A WARM WELCOME
When our industrial arts students heard that our new school resource officer, Officer Gollihue, needed a bookcase for his office, they were more than happy to put one together for him!
