Little Turtle recently hosted a STEM Night for second and third grade families!
More than 320 people showed up to celebrate STEM and work with school and community partners.
Thank you, Ms. Smith, volunteers, Purdue Extension and CCHS students for the support!

Students and Staff Honors Veterans
"I am so grateful so many in our WCCS Family have rallied behind writing mail call for Honor Flight. We had kindergartners from Mary Raber, Key Club members from the high school, and other elementary and middle school students submit mail earlier this fall.
Most recently, eighth-grade social studies teachers said they will include mail call in their Veteran's Day activities this Friday, and many seventh-grade kiddos wrote mail call letters for their “Kindness Project” in Donna Deam’s class.
Attached are pictures from Beth Hart at Little Turtle of her sweet first graders writing notes for mail call this week.
Thank you all for the ongoing support! I am so grateful for our community!"
This message from Olivia Coons, Indian Springs teacher and Honor Flight Volunteer, highlights some of our WCCS involvement for Veterans Day.
Also, remember the Indian Springs Veterans Fish Fry is tonight!
