Giselle is always encouraging, endlessly helpful, and brings a positive attitude to every practice and performance. She’s the kind of teammate who lifts everyone up and radiates pure Cougar spirit! 🐾💜 We’re so lucky to have you, Giselle! Keep being amazing! 💖🎉

7th grade SAIL worked on their own Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade but with Spike Legos!

Last week, 3rd & 4th graders were read a true story in Cougars' Critical Thinking class (CCT) about the man who created the amazing balloons for the Macy's parade. They were tasked the job to make a balloon animal. We had engineers who had to construct a design to keep the balloon in the air and the designers who focused on the aesthetics. Mrs. Abbas' class kicked off the beginning of our parade!

The Crew of the USS Flounder would like you to join them for an exciting cruise in AGWSR's fall play Anchors Aweigh. The show is Nov. 14-15 at 7pm in the HS Gym. Tickets are $7. We hope you will join us for our chaotic cruise.

Today at AGWSR Wellsburg Center, we took time as a school and community to honor the Veterans who have served our country with courage and commitment. Our morning program included a flag raising by Doug Heikens and Scott Williams, the Pledge led by our fifth graders, and Taps played by Cody Benning and Greeley Everts. Students shared in meaningful ways, including flag essays from Alex Harms and Myles Wiarda, along with performances from our 7-8 grade chorus and band. Thank you to all who attended and, most importantly, to all Veterans for your service. Your dedication continues to shape the opportunities our students have today. 🇺🇸
