Mrs. Manis is currently the district science teacher, however, her home base is at Wells Elementary School. We appreciate Mrs. Manis because she is willing to step up and help whenever and wherever she is needed. Mrs. Manis is a positive influence for our students and those around her. She has tried her best to make science engaging in a remote setting. We recognize this has not been an easy task, but you have done an amazing job in your role. We appreciate your efforts. Your hard work is appreciated! #EMSD37Pride

Join in the fun with Read Across America Spirit Week (March 1st-5th) #EMSD37Pride

The past two days Wells staff wore blue for an Out of the Blue Day. What’s an Out of the Blue Day?! It’s a day where staff members unite to wear blue, and we recognize a behavior from our PBIS matrix. The students are flooded with extra paw stickers when they demonstrate this positive behavior. At the end of the day, the students to try to guess what behavior was focused on for extra paw stickers. Fun was had by all! Our third quarter PBIS goal at Wells is for our students to receive less than 10 office referrals. We are PROUD to give an update that as of today, we are meeting that goal. A third quarter celebration is being planned... Good job, Wildcats! Continue to be respectful, be responsible, and be safe!
