Wellford Academy of Science and Technology - Where Dedication Meets Innovation

⚡🔋 Our 4th graders put their curiosity to work during Science Enrichment! They built circuits and explored how different energy systems—mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical, and light—power the world around us. 🧪💡 Their excitement and problem-solving skills lit up the room! ✨

📚✨ Today, Mrs. Coan visited Mrs. Blanton’s class to share the story Mr. Peabody’s Apples. 🍎 This powerful book reminded students about the importance of knowing the whole story before making assumptions, and how kindness should always lead the way. 💛 We are so grateful for these moments that inspire our Wolfpack to think deeply and choose compassion! 🐺❤️

🍂 Say cheese! Fall Picture Day is coming to Wellford Academy on Friday, October 17. Make sure your student is camera-ready for this autumn snapshot! 📸✨

👨‍🏫✨ Special thanks to Mr. Gallman for visiting Ms. Carson’s class! After spending time getting to know one another, students sketched their future dreams and created symbols for meaningful words like kindness. Such a thoughtful way to connect and inspire our Wolfpack! ❤️🐾

🧪🌡️ Our 5th graders had a blast being scientists today! They explored how changes in temperature affect air and made some exciting observations along the way. Hands-on learning = big discoveries! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

🎸🤘 Rock Your School is coming this Friday, October 3!
We’re encouraging all of our students to dress like a rock star and show off their Rockstar Fit! 🌟

✏️ When the classroom goes on strike… 5th graders in Ms. Rampersad’s class had to use their best argumentative writing skills to convince the chairs, tables, and supplies to return to work! 💬🪑📚

✨ Half day fun + hands-on learning = success! Ms. Williamson’s students loved exploring our new TouchMath numbers today. 🧮💡

Cool treat + happy kids = the best kind of school day! 🍧🐺 Our Wolfpack had a blast cooling off with Kona Ice today!

🎈💥 Science came to life in Ms. Heffner’s 2nd grade class today! Students explored solids, liquids, and gases with a hands-on experiment using baking soda and vinegar to blow up balloons. Their excitement was bubbling over as they watched science in action! 🧪✨

📢 Reminder, Wolfpack families! 🐾

👏 A huge shoutout to our amazing cafeteria staff, Breakfast with Buddies committee, assistants, lunch monitors, extra little helpers, and administration for making this week a success! 💕

We loved seeing our students enjoy breakfast with their “buddies,” show off their classrooms, and shop the book fair. 🥞📚✨

Thank you to everyone who made Breakfast with Buddies such a special week at Wellford! 🐺❤️

Ms. Williamson’s class had the best time at Breakfast with Buddies on Friday! 🐺✨ Families joined us for breakfast before students showed them around their classrooms, shared books, and even showed off their creative animal masks. 🦊🐻📚 What a wonderful way to start the day with our Wolfpack families! ❤️

Wrapping up the week with our tiniest Wolfpack! 🐾💛 Kindergarteners had a blast at Breakfast with Buddies — eating breakfast, showing off their classrooms, and enjoying a visit to the Book Fair. 📚✨ What a sweet way to end the week!

Look for the full album on Facebook!

📡✉️ Ms. Benson’s 5th graders had fun putting history into action today! As they kicked off our unit on the Transcontinental Railroad, students learned how the invention of the telegraph and Morse code made sending messages faster—and even put the Pony Express out of business. They practiced by writing their own sentences in Morse code! 🚂🔠💡

🌱✨ Excitement is growing in Mrs. Varner’s 3rd grade science class! Students have been learning all about the life cycle of plants and took a closer look by dissecting seeds. They were able to identify the seed coat, cotyledon, and even the tiny embryo with its epicotyl and radicle. Hands-on science is the best way to watch curiosity bloom! 🌱🔬💡

✨ First Grade Breakfast with Buddies ✨
Our first graders had such a special morning with their families! 💕 Everyone enjoyed breakfast together, then headed to classrooms to learn more about how first grade does phonics 📚✏️, and wrapped up the morning with a fun stop at the bookfair. What a great way to start the day with learning and family time! 🐺❤️
