Wapello Community Schools

Happy 100th day of school! 1st grade had a busy day, we wore shirts with 100 things on it, found 100 pennies, licked a tootsie pop 100 times, chewed starburst 100 times, and packed 100 items for lunch.

Kindergarteners had a fantastic 100th day of school! We made headbands, jumped 100 times, danced, cheered our WHS lady wrestlers, played team build games in math (racing to 100), and read 100th Day Worries and 100 Snowmen. 💯

Reese Connolly falls in the consolation round, and sadly, her season comes to an end. Congratulations, Reese, on an outstanding run as a Freshman! Big things will be coming for Reese; she will be one to watch over the next three years of her career!

Kenadee Helscher and Clara Ball move on to the Semi-Finals with 2nd round wins!

Reese Connolly loses her first round match and will move to the backside of the bracket. Keep digging Reese!

Congratulations to Kenadee Helscher and Clara Ball, both are moving on in the bracket with Tech Falls in Round 1.

We have found that Kenadee will start on mat 8.
