We love, love, love Washburn Elementary! Ms. Ivy does a wildly difficult job so well and never makes it look stressful. We’ve loved all of our child’s teachers and the creative learning methods as well as all the outdoor learning. Support staff are always so friendly and kind, and really skilled. We feel super lucky to be able to send our kid to school at Washburn.
The high school forestry class did a wonderful job teaching some excited fourth graders about maple syrup and how it goes from tree to table. Time outside & hands on learning are the best!
Ms. Allison is like every 4ker's Mom Away from Mom. She is so warm and makes every child feel comfortable and cared about. Keeping up with up with 4kers all day is no joke! Thank you to all the incredible 4k teachers!
Ms Meredith, our kids love art and love you. We are continually in awe of how much you accomplish with them in a 30 minute block. Pretty sure they wish art class was 3 hours long.
Ms Callie gives kids the tools to solve their own problems. Her methods are empowering and teach life skills and emotional intelligence. We appreciate her so much! And Nella! Nella, you're doing a great job. 😉
Ms Heather is a SAINT! Her patience, kindness and respect for students is so admirable. Also her stamina! She's the same wonderful human at the end of a long day as she is at the start. The kids who she is a support aid to are so lucky to be in such loving hands.
Ms Lambert, your kindness and the personal attention you give to each student makes them feel so seen and supported. Third grade can be a challenging time for a lot of kids, but in your hands our kid is thriving and loving school more than ever. Thank you!
Shout out to the high school guidance department! Laurie Pipgras and Jen Lutz- Washburn is so lucky to have you! You two are compassionate, caring, and create a safe place for our students.
Shout out to all the people who deserve it is really tough in 400 words. Erika runs the kitchen and is a wonderful woman. Bryon Guski helps serve the food to our children and is an incredible man. Ms Wroblewski is a loved and adored teacher by many. Ms Sierra, who loves what she does with our children, and last, but not least by any means, Denise Michaelsen. Welcome to our community!
Ms. Ivy is a phenomenal principal! She maintains a positive attitude through challenging times and leads with compassion and wisdom. Thank you for making school a great place to be!
Ms. Whiting has been such an amazing addition to the Washburn team of educators! Thank you for organically encouraging compassion and creativity throughout each day. This approach is proving to make the many types of growth 5th grade brings enjoyable 😉
Thank you Ms. Kelsey for making my child's year such a wonderful one! Your kindness and humor really makes school a fun place to be.
