😂 KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS! 😂

One of our favorite parts of working at Auburn Elementary is the things our students come up with! You just never quite know what you’re going to hear when you walk through our hallways. 😂

Here are a few of our favorites from this week:

💬 “Do you get paid to just sit there all day? If so, how much?”
👢 “Do you have a horse?”
“No, but I have a dog.”
“Then why do you wear cowboy boots?” 🤠

💬 A kindergartner asked, “Why are you so tall?”
“That's just the way I am!”
“Yeah…but…WHY?” 😂

💬 Teacher: “Do you like breakfast, lunch, or dinner better?”
Student: “Hmmmm…dessert!” 🍰

💬 “I don’t want a husband because all they do is play video games.” 🎮😂

💬 “All guys do is eat Takis. Why not try a salad, bro?” 🥗🤣

We may not always know what’s coming next, but one thing is for sure… our Wildcats keep us laughing! 🐾💛

🐾 Wildcat Fun Fact Wednesday!

Did you know Auburn Elementary has been part of several big changes in Auburn’s school history?

In 1990, Auburn’s K–3 Primary School and 4–6 Intermediate School were brought together into the building at 8th & Commercial, creating the Auburn Elementary School we know today! 🐾💙💛

And the building kept growing—an addition for all-day Kindergarten was added in 2002, followed by three more classrooms and a FEMA shelter in 2012.

From a one-room log cabin classroom to the Wildcats of today… Auburn has some pretty amazing school history! 🐾

🐾 WILDCAT HISTORY FACT! 🐾

Did you know Auburn, Kansas, wasn’t always called Auburn—and our school got its start before Auburn was even officially a town! 🤯

In 1855, while the area was still known as Brownville, early settlers were already making education a priority. Classes were held in a pioneer log cabin on the Fred Kresie Farm. 🪵📚

Just two years later, in 1857, a new two-story cement schoolhouse was built at 6th & School Street. It served students in grades 1–10 all under one roof! 🏫

And the school bell? 🔔 It was so large that historical records say it “could be heard throughout town and into the country.”

Then, in 1859, the school system officially organized as District #1—beginning a school tradition that has been part of the Auburn community for generations. 💙💛

Oh, and remember how we said Auburn was originally called Brownville? 👀

Brownville Heritage Park, located just south of Auburn Elementary, honors those very beginnings and the early settlement that became our community.

So when we say Auburn Elementary has history… we REALLY mean it! 🐾💙💛

From a log cabin classroom to the Wildcats we know today—what an incredible history to be part of!

Don't forget! If you're interested, please come see us tonight from 5 to 6!
