South grade 2-5 students in Ms. Hawkins's history class have been studying Ancient Egypt. Yesterday they completed their month-long project of making apple mummies. Each student first dried and mummified their Pharaoh Apple using Ancient Egyptian techniques and materials. Then they created mummy masks, placed their Pharaoh Apples in a golden sarcophagus, and sealed them into the classroom pyramid. On the last day of the school year, students will unseal the tomb, unwrap their mummies, and examine the results!

The junior high health class created presentations about germs and shared with the 2nd and 3rd grade students.
2nd and 3rd graders worked on summarizing the information presented and here is their summary: "We learned about germs, bacteria, and viruses. They can only be seen with a microscope and not with your eyes. You should wash your hands for 20 seconds. You need to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, don't share things, and stay home if you are sick."
Thank you so much for sharing your presentations!
Western Plains will run mud routes for the afternoon on Monday, November 24, 2025.
