Mt. Washington Elementary School

Becky, a former MWES student, noticed a recycling Facebook post from the school. She reached out to see how she could help and WOW🤩 - when she said she had cans, she was not kidding. When we went to pick them up there was about 45 bags! ♻️Thanks you so much for contacting us and filling up our bin. We have a great community! Remember, we also have the opportunity for drop-off of aluminum beverage cans at the recycling trailer located at the parking lot of the old Rite Aid. #2millioncanscontest #yourcancounts

Makenzie is a can crushing queen! She worked magic and turned 3 bags in to 1 by smashing them flat. This will make room for many more to be brought in. To warm up she helped gather the cans inside as well. She worked as hard to earn the points to be my helper! We always have a great time!

Mrs. Bieckert had over 20 students participate in chess on Saturday and their accomplishments varied from 25th place to 3rd place.

Mrs. Ecshner's class enjoyed their extra recess for winning the kindergarten grade level growth challenge. We are so proud of their hard work and effort. Our students are the BEST. The admin loved celebrating with them.

This girl was doing an amazing job transitioning to the lunchroom. She had hands to self, a quiet voice and walking feet. She was excelling at all the expectations and earned a "caught you coin" to spend at the book vending machine. Way to go Elaynah!

Yeah- that bus is moving on down the road. It will stop at 45k cans and with all your help with fly right on to 60k cans. The 3rd grade team celebrated this benchmark with pencil toppers provided by our partnership with Tri-Arrows Aluminum. They have helped make collecting cans even more exciting! The 3rd grade says THANKS to all who have supported their contest . We are just under a 1/3 of the way from our goal. Keep bringing in your cans and asking family and friends to save their cans too! #YourCanCounts♻️

It was another great time today celebrating with the Mrs. Perry's class. They were the 3rd grade class with the highest percentage of growth on the iReady assessment. We are so proud of all their hard work and effort!! Sure was a good time for the admin and kiddos!
