Mrs. Frye’s Kindergartners spent three weeks researching and observing the life cycle of chickens. Students incubated eggs, candled their growth, observed them hatch, examined the shells, and—best of all—enjoyed the cute, fluffy baby chicks! 🐣
Thank you to the Wisconsin 4-H Extension Office and UW-Madison for providing this enriching, hands-on experience.
Wow! Check out the stunning mural featured in Washington Elementary’s cafeteria. 🤩
The mural was funded by the Student Council and painted by Mr. Mane and the 5th grade Art Club. Over the course of four months, Art Club students worked through a process under Mr. Mane’s instruction to leave the beautiful mural for future students to enjoy as they move onto middle school!

Thank you to Paul Majors for his diligence and passion in teaching agricultural education. In his classes, students learn about the science, business, and technology of not only plant and animal production, but also the environment and natural resource systems we enjoy on Earth.
