Mrs. Spielmann’s second graders have been learning about major landforms and bodies of water in Social Studies. Students explored how landforms are formed and learned about mountains, hills, valleys, plains, rivers, lakes, islands, peninsulas, and more!
To wrap up their learning, students created their own unique landform models. We love seeing their creativity and learning come to life! Great job, second graders! 👏🌎

The Tri-Valley and West Central Booster Clubs are hosting a Make a Change with Your Loose Change Competition the week of September 14, leading up to Friday night’s football game between the schools (WC Homecoming). The money raised will benefit each school’s Closet to purchase clothing, hygiene products and other needed items for students at each school.
All grades of JK–12 at both schools will receive a change jar the week before. Monday through Thursday (September 14-17), students will collect and donate change to their grade’s jar.
Each grade will compete within its own school (WC vs. WC and TV vs. TV) so that the BC will total each grade’s change, and then the totals from all grades will be combined to determine which grade at each school and then each school of WC or TV raises the most money.
One person from the losing school’s administration (school that did not raise the most money) will face the consequences of losing during halftime of Friday night’s football game. Thank you for helping Make a Change with Your Loose Change Competition a huge success!

Some of our West Central Elementary students from both Hartford and Humboldt Elementary recently put their creativity and gratitude to work by making thank-you cards for veterans who will be traveling on the next Honor Flight!
We are thankful to our students and staff for taking the time to create these cards to help recognize and honor the veterans who have served our country. Their thoughtful words are sure to bring a smile to the veterans receiving them! 🇺🇸❤️
