Due to the forecasted weather on Tuesday April 25th we will be postponing our field day. Rain and colder weather is forecasted making it more than likely a less than desirable day for everyone. We do want and need the rain so we will be happy to see it rain. Western Plains will be rescheduling our elementary Field Day now on Wednesday, May 10th at Western Plains North Football Field and Track in Ransom beginning at 12:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and cheer on our Junior Bobcats with hopefully a sunny calm day. Please dress accordingly, bring sunscreen, a folding chair, and your own water bottles. We will hope and plan for a better day of weather for our students to participate.
Thank you for your support.
Respectfully,
Coach Spangler
Western Plains PE Teacher

South 4th and 5th grade enjoyed a fun science activity Friday morning. They made bottle rockets using film canisters, alka seltzer, and water. Students had a little competition to see who’s rocket could go the highest. There were lots of good “pops” and plenty of screams to be heard. Everyone had a blast!
