Casey-Westfield CUSD #C-4

The CWHS Student Council proudly presented a $275 donation to Laura Wright, representing the Adopt-A-Warrior program. The funds were raised during the council’s April blood drive.

The Adopt-A-Warrior program assists CWHS students by helping cover extracurricular activity fees, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to participate in school activities regardless of financial need.

The CWHS Student Council thanks everyone who participated in the blood drive and contributed to this cause.

Mrs. Tutewiler's third grade class became scientists to find out what happens when you put candy corn in different liquids ... hot water, Sprite, and vinegar. First, they made predictions about what each liquid would do to the candy corn. Then they tested their predictions to see what would really happen. The candy corn dissolved the fastest in the hot water as they thought it would. The water turned orange yellow, and smelled sweet. In the Sprite, the student saw lots of fizz and bubbles. The candy corn dissolved more slowly and turned slightly mushy. Lastly, the vinegar made it bubble, and it had a funny, sweet and sour smell. Most students agreed that they do not like the smell of vinegar! It was a fun fall science experiment and the students enjoyed predicting, observing and discovering how different liquids changed the candy corn.

7th grade Social Studies students just completed their 50 States Recital. Sing along with them if you know the 50 Nifty States!

8th grade students received their 1,000 day letters on Thursday. In 5th grade, on their 1000th day of school, students wrote notes to their future selves. 1,000 calendar days later, the students get to read their notes along with a note from their 5th grade teacher. This yearly activity always brings lots of JOY and SMILES!

Get ready Warrior Nation, your Warriors are on the road for the 2nd round of the playoffs to take on the Nokomis Redskins. Game time is 3pm on Saturday, November 8th. Come out and show your support!

A big thanks to Mr. Bennett and students for helping CIA decorate the grand stand for the holidays! It looks great!

No school for a SIP day, this Friday, November 7th.

There's nothing better than a spooky story on Halloween! Mrs. Shawver’s 6th graders made a Halloween Roll-A-Story into actual well-illustrated books! They enjoyed the process and reading each book on Halloween 🎃👻📖

Mrs. Robinson's class had a spooktacular Halloween. 👻 The little goblins launched ghost rockets, stirred up bubbling witch's brew, shouted "BINGO!" and munched on Halloween Chex mix. Our classroom was filled with giggles and magical moments!

🎉 Zone Room Shout Out! 🎉

💀🦴 Norm’s Busy Week Around School! 🦴💀

Our favorite Zone Room skeleton, Norm, has been everywhere lately — and he’s been having a blast! 😎

This week, Norm...
🏫 Utilized the Zone Room calming corner
📟 Responded to walkie calls like a pro
🌳 Enjoyed the views of the playground
📖 Participated in Family Reading Night
🌡️ Got a temp check from Nurse Megan
📚 Read a book in the library
🎨 Painted with a friend in art
🚶‍♂️ Took an afternoon walk on the walking path
👋 Visited a classroom
💼 Stopped by Mrs. Rhoads’ office for a quick chat!

Norm’s showing us all how to stay involved, helpful, and connected around Monroe — one bone at a time! 💀❤️

We will call this a Close to all school collaboration project (a few students were absent and no kindergarten). Students were given one color family to use and had to complete a self portrait picture. My student assistant, Lucy Moore, arranged them in rainbow order! ROYGBIV for the win! 🌈

🌰✨The last couple of weeks in Zone Room sessions, our younger students read Acorn Was a Little Wild by Jen Arena and talked all about what it means to have self-control and make safe, kind choices — even when we feel a little “wild”!

Our older students focused on the same theme of growth and self-control, sharing real-life examples of when they made strong choices and how they can keep growing this fall.

No matter our age, we can all be a little wild sometimes — but like Acorn, we’re learning that growth happens when we slow down, reflect, and make good choices! 🌰✨

Help out the Monroe Art department! Thank you for all your generosity!

T is for texture! Implied and actual texture-we are building those layers in 2nd and 4th grade art. Getting our hands dirty and our papers pretty!

Last Hat Day tomorrow due to NO SCHOOL on Friday! 🧢👒 Thanks to everyone who's let their little ones join in the fun! 🙏✨ Your support is helping us grow our Brave program! 💪🌱 Looking forward to kicking things off second semester! 🎉🗓️ The kids have been having a blast showing off their cool hats and it's all for a great cause! 🤩❤️
