December 5 is our Elementary Christmas Concert where our students sing and play in the band depending on their ages and commitments. We are committed to our students being able to participate and do not want transportation to be a barrier for them attending the concert!
Students need to be at the concert by 6:50 PM for the 7:00 PM showtime for choir and 6:40 PM if they are in elementary band. The concert typically lasts 1-1:15 hours approximately, and then we'd bus them back.
Below, please provide a list of all students to be picked up, their grades, the physical address that we would pick the students up at, and contact person and number to confirm a pick up time.
If there is room on the bus, we would be willing to transport the adult with the student to the concert--this is dependent on how many sign up for the service as we will run one bus. Thank you.

On Friday for the "Fresh Fruits and Vegetable program" the kids had the option to try some fresh made Mango Salsa! Many were very skeptical but ended up really liking it! I had a few kids who even asked if I could "share the recipe with their mom". I was very impressed so many were willing to try it and excited so many really liked it! It's great with chips or also delicious on fish tacos!

Every year the South McLean County Soil Conservation District hosts a Conservation Tour for students in the 7th/8th grade. Every school in the district is invited to attend. This year 8th grade students from Washburn Public School attended the tour on September 26th. The students rotate through 5 different stations including soils, watershed/water quality, woodlands, rangeland/prairie, and wetlands. The students are given a quiz before they come to the tour to see how much they already knew and then again at the end of the day following their last station. This year’s class with the highest overall average score is Mrs. Carlson’s Washburn 8th grade class with an average class score of 83.36%. Gabe missed only 1 question on the quiz.
