At the same time we have our science and art show going on. This is free for famlies to attend. We will have guest presenters from the Racine Art Museum.

And finally at 6 pm we will have our Wadewitz Has Talent Show. This also is free for families to attend.

Please join me in congratulating kinder teacher Casey Prohaska and SPED teacher Brittany Czarny on earning this year's RUSD Encore award. Their dedication to the students they serve is unmatched and one of many reasons Wadewitz continues to lead RUSD in so many ways. Enjoy the recognition, you deserve it!

We wanted to share a few more pictures from our "100th Day of School" celebrations. While it was nice to have all the 100 year olds on campus that day, we are thankful to have our elementary kiddos back. #youbelonghere #100thday #waddyway

Did you know that Wadewitz recently had a whole bunch of 100 year olds celebrating 100 days of school? Big shout out to Ms Laitinen 1st grade class for sharing. Also had to include one of our Star 3rd grade kiddos. Hopefully we have a little less gray hair tomorrow! #waddyway #wheredoestimego #1dayretirementhome #youbelonghere

This week was the Racine Police Department's Love Week! Officer Hood has been surprising a staff member at each RUSD school with a Sunshine Award, flowers and a gift certificate. ❤❤❤ For the last four years, Love Week has recognized those who have made a major impact on our community. This year Wadewitz was able to recognize four staff members for the impact they have on our school community. Susan Wirshing, Stacey Karnowski, Anna Nielsen, and Celia Piper are the definition of love and compassion. It's impossible to think of those two words and not picture these extraordinary staff members. They are a huge part of what makes Wadewitz the place to be! Help me in congratulating these wonderful people! Happy Love Week and Happy Valentine's Day! #waddyway #youbelonghere #takemondayoff
