Our 7th-grade students had a blast at the Auburn-Washburn USD 437 ESTEEM Lab this last week! They soaked up the sun while they fished in the pond, and in the brand-new indoor lab, they participated in a dissection. A big Raven shout-out to Mrs. Roney and Mrs. Louderback for making this day memorable for our students!
Please head to Jefferson's to support Washburn Rural North PTO on May 12th!

During Monday’s Board of Education meeting, Principal Charlie Stoltenberg of Washburn Rural North Middle School recognized three exceptional members of the Ravens community for the leadership and character they demonstrate each day:
✨ Shining Star Student Award – Lucy Stones
Seventh-grade student Lucy Stones was praised for being well-rounded, highly driven, and mature. In addition to competing as a multi-sport athlete, Lucy is involved in orchestra, Scholars Bowl, National History Day, and other numerous other extracurricular activities. Her positive attitude and drive make her a role model among her peers.
✨ Classified All-Star Award – Lou Akkouche
Lead custodian Lou Akkouche was recognized for the care, kindness, and positivity he brings to the school each day. He is known for building meaningful connections with both students and staff. Media teacher and yearbook advisor Randi Stones shared, “In the first ever Washburn Rural North Yearbook, a 6th grader chose Lou as his school hero, citing that Lou stops to talk to the student and his friends every lunch period."
✨ Certified All-Star Award – Terry Hime
Reading interventionist Terry Hime was honored for her warmth, kindness, and calm demeanor, as well as her extraordinary expertise in literacy instruction. Dr. Ryan Fullerton, instructional facilitator, noted that Terry's leadership extends beyond the building and district to the national level, where she has helped prepare literacy specialists from across the country. "Her labyrinthine knowledge of the relationship between student needs, high quality instruction, and literacy development marks her as a professional who all can approach knowing they will receive reliable, well-considered feedback."
Congratulations to Lucy, Lou, and Terry for being recognized as shining stars in the Auburn-Washburn community!

Dear WRN Families, Businesses, and Community Members,
As we wrap up our very first year as the new WRN PTO, we want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for the incredible support you have shown our school community this year.
Whether you donated, volunteered your time, attended events, sponsored activities, shared ideas, or simply cheered us on, you helped make this first year a success. We truly could not have done it without you.
A special thank you to everyone who supported our Founder’s Circle fundraising event. We are excited to soon display our Founder’s Circle banner in the school to recognize the amazing individuals, families, and businesses who helped build the foundation of our PTO from the very beginning.
Because of your generosity and support, we have been able to give back to our students and staff in meaningful ways while helping create memorable experiences and a stronger school community.
This year showed us just how supportive and caring the WRN community truly is, and we are so grateful for every person who stepped up to help along the way.
Thank you again for believing in our mission and supporting our students, staff, and school. We are excited for what is ahead and look forward to continuing to grow together in the years to come.
With gratitude,
The WRN PTO
