💚🦊 For those of you who haven’t met her yet, please welcome Carrie Haverty as our new head secretary! We are so excited to have her join our amazing staff! 🎉
Fun week at the Farley Golf Club. Students in grades 2-6 finished their golf unit playing 9 holes out in front of school. They had options of playing their own ball, or teaming up with a partner(s) to play an alternate shot on each hole as well!
They’re easy to celebrate!

Three shining stars from the Farley Elementary School community were honored with special awards last night at the Board of Education meeting. They are sixth-grade student Alexa Mitchell and staff members Tasha Ullom and Layne Nash.
Alexa Mitchell was presented with the Shining Star Student Award. A Farley Fox since kindergarten, Alexa leads quietly by example, showing strength, perseverance, and integrity. She consistently puts forth her best effort. Principal Katie Sonderegger shared, "She continues to give her best without being asked or reminded. She doesn’t need applause or external rewards to do the right thing. She simply does it, because that’s who she is."
Library aide and paraprofessional Tasha Ullom was honored with an All-Star Staff Award for bringing heart, skill, and dedication to everything she does. She connects naturally with others, approaching each student with compassion, patience, and high expectations. Principal Sonderegger shared, "She instinctively knows how to build meaningful relationships, meet kids where they are, and help them grow. Her positive energy is contagious, and students gravitate toward her because they know they’re seen, heard, and supported."
PE teacher Layne Nash was also presented with an All-Star Staff Award. In recognizing Mr. Nash, Principal Sonderegger shared, "Mr. Nash is the kind of teacher every student – and every school – dreams of having. He doesn’t just teach physical education; he teaches essential life skills. His lessons are grounded in teamwork, respect, perseverance, and kindness – skills our students will carry with them long after they leave our building." He’s especially impactful for those needing extra support, with Sonderegger adding, "The opportunity to earn “Nash Time” is one of the most powerful motivators we have."
Please join us in celebrating Alexa, Tasha, and Layne – three deserving individuals who embody the spirit, dedication, and excellence of Auburn-Washburn.
