Over the past few years, the Auburn-Washburn School District has been working to determine the needs of our students and the community. Comprehensive feedback from all stakeholders was gathered to develop a five year strategic plan.
Based on that plan, the district engaged in a master facility review process. Through those efforts, the district discovered several facility needs. The 2022 Bond addresses those needs.

Washburn Rural High SchoolThanks to the passion and ingenuity of science teacher Mike Steinert, several Washburn Rural High School students are walking away from the school year with a national certificate in hand. Mr. Steinert developed a biomedical research class to equip students with a skill set necessary to directly enter the medical workforce. He created a syllabus of topics and established rigors, depth of knowledge questions, and practical tasks to help prepare students for the national Biotechnician Assistant Credentialing Exam. To ensure exam readiness, he hosted study sessions before and after school and administered practice tests to students. Seven of the eight students who sat for the exam passed on their first attempt. They are the first high school students in the state of Kansas to do so!
"Mr. Steinert has gone above and beyond to bring this unique learning opportunity to our students," said colleague Shelley Wichman. "He is truly passionate about helping students learn and love science. He is always thinking of his students – how to challenge them, how to help them, and how to keep them engaged."
Thank you to Mr. Steinert, and congratulations to our newly credentialed biotechnician assistants!

Farley Elementary SchoolYou never know what you might stumble upon while walking the halls of our school buildings! These fifth-graders at Farley Elementary School were hard at work this morning preparing Shark Tank presentations. They were tasked with designing a backpack, developing a prototype, creating a marketing campaign (with the help of actors), pricing their product, and developing investor incentive packages. Some of their innovative design features included built-in phone chargers, insulated beverage pouches, water cartridge pockets, and waterproof material to protect contents from the weather.

Auburn-Washburn Public Schools FoundationField day season is upon us, and we are excited to share this snapshot from the district's second annual adaptive field day, which was held earlier this month and tailored specifically for students with mobility challenges. More than 250 students and their peers participated in this year's "Out of this World" event. The fun-filled day included inflatable bowling, soccer, darts, ladder golf, a bubble machine, water balloon station, foam station, stacking cups, and more! A special thanks goes out to the Auburn-Washburn Public Schools Foundation for providing a grant to help fund this event!
