It has been one week since GWMS started composting at all lunches.  We’d like to extend a special thanks to Mrs. Klein and all of the student compost gurus for their leadership in getting this initiative started.  In only one week, we have collected over 450 gallons of compostable material, which means it has all been diverted from the sanitary landfill.  Check out the video of the GWMS Composting Kick-Off Assembly:

Check out Follett Shelf, which is a virtual library that hosts an abundance of e-books. Follett Shelf has been brought to the school through Keystone Area Education Agency.  Each student at Washington has been given a username and password to access Follett Shelf. You can get to the virtual library by simply clicking on the Learning Center button on the left side of the screen.  You will then see the link to Follett Shelf.  You must have Internet access to the e-books.  The books must be read while you are online; you are not able to download the books to e-reader devices (Kindles, Nooks, etc.).

If your son/daughter has misplaced his/her username and password for e-books, please email Mrs. Mozena at amozena@dubuque.k12.ia.us to request it.
