WHAM was selected to partner with the YMCA in a School Soccer League this fall.  We have two 4th/5th grade teams participating this season.  This Saturday, October 12th, we will host the soccer games at WHAM. At 10:00 am our two WHAM teams will play each other here.  They would love to have some WHAM fans stop by to cheer them on.  There is a second game here at 12:30 between  WHAM and Capitol Elementary.  Come out, wear your WHAM shirts, and cheer for our teams! 

Superintendent Drake, stopped by today and had the opportunity to release a butterfly with Ms. Clare's kindergarten class. They participate in Monarch Watch with the University of Kansas. This citizen science project requires the students to harvest caterpillars from host plants, watch the metamorphosis of the butterflies, tag the butterflies, record the data and release them. The information is used to track and gain information about monarch numbers and migration.
