Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and the power of love to bring about change.
At Wellford Academy, we strive to live out his dream by fostering kindness, inclusion, and respect in our school community every day. Together, let’s continue to work toward creating a brighter future where every voice is heard, and every dream is valued.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Wolfpack! 🐾
4K STEM in Action! 🐻❄️ Mrs. Cielinski’s 4K students have been exploring what animals do in winter! In the science center, they’ve been learning all about bears and hibernation. Using their creativity and problem-solving skills, students designed caves and dens on paper, then brought their ideas to life using materials like magnet tiles, cubes, cotton balls, and popsicle sticks. Their designs turned into some amazing bear shelters! Great job, future engineers!
Fresh and flavorful fun! 🌿 Kindergarteners at Wellford Academy teamed up with Mrs. Sill to make homemade salsa using cilantro grown right here in our very own Hydroponic Farmstand. Hands-on learning has never been so tasty! 🌱🍅
