Washington Grade School District #52

Congratulations to our students of the week for August 27! It was a pleasure to start the day with these wonderful students!

Girls' basketball opens gyms will take place on the following dates. Wednesday, September 1 from 3:00-4:15 Wednesday, September 8 from 3:00-4:15

Open mats will be taking place at Beverly manor for students in grades 6-8 beginning this Sunday from 4:00 - 5:30. All levels of experience are welcome. This is a great way to get started for new kids, or for experienced kids to get the rust knocked off before the season starts.
