Dialogue Coffee House
On Monday, Dialogue hosted over 1,000 guests from across Northeast Kansas at our second annual Dialogue Abilities Day: Roaring with Possibilities!
From feeding giraffes and experiencing animal enrichments to engaging educational programs and connecting with zookeepers, the day was packed with unforgettable moments—and hundreds of new and familiar faces made it even more meaningful. Abilities Day is an event dedicated to celebrating inclusion and abilities in our community.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to every volunteer, especially our friends from the Topeka Police Department and Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, who helped the day run seamlessly. We appreciate your support more than words can say.
And to our mission and event partners— FHLBank Topeka, Kansas Gas Service, Kansas State Treasurer Steven Johnson, KBS Constructors, and our silent underwriters—thank you for believing in the power of inclusion and helping bring this special day to life!
Here’s to roaring with possibilities and building a more inclusive future together!
🚨 The Major Saver Digital Fundraiser is LIVE! 🚨
The Major Saver fundraiser is LIVE and off to a great start! Please help your student raise funds for our school by sharing their digital fundraiser link with friends and family. Remember, Major Saver Cards sell for $20, and deals will be with you all the time on your phone! Your student’s digital link makes it easy for friends and family—near or far—to support schools. Out-of-town relatives? No problem! They can contribute a flat donation directly through your student’s fundraising link.
Every card purchased or donation made helps fund programs for the Auburn-Washburn Public Schools Foundation who make a big difference for our students. Thank you to all the local businesses and families helping make this a successful fundraiser. If you haven’t joined our schools’ fundraising page, please do so!
It's a JSE Eat Out Night at Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers Topeka, KS from 5:00-9:00 PM.

Jay Shideler Elementary School welcomed some special guests today as part of Financial Literacy Month. Kansas State Treasurer Steven Johnson and students from Washburn Rural High School’s Banking and Finance program visited the school to teach important money management lessons to students in grades 1-4. Each grade level explored a different financial concept:
1️⃣st Grade: Understanding needs vs. wants and managing limited resources
2️⃣nd Grade: Making financial decisions and considering opportunity costs
3️⃣rd Grade: Saving, spending, borrowing, lending, and the role of banks
4️⃣th Grade: Exploring compound interest and the basics of investing
This teen teach-in is just one of the ways the district is promoting financial literacy among our youngest learners. A big thank you to Treasurer Johnson and these WRHS students for making financial literacy fun!
Blue Jays come out and rally behind the Ichabods tomorrow for the football spring game!
