Congratulations to Maggie Jennings on being named to the 2025 All State Volleyball Team! Great Job Maggie!

As part of the 58 requirements enacted for schools in the most recent legislative session, one key item was the expectation that all students K–12 participate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance each morning. I’m pleased to share that Washburn Public School now begins every day with schoolwide announcements followed by the Pledge.
The true highlight, however, has been watching students of all ages step up to lead. Many have volunteered to make the morning announcements, showing confidence, leadership, and a willingness to put themselves out there for the good of our school community.
These moments remind us of the pride and spirit that define our district. Here are just a few photos that I've captured!
It’s a GREAT day to be a CARDINAL!
