Seuss-sational Science Assembly

Wahoo Elementary students were treated to an assembly on Tuesday, February 20th. The students met the Omaha Children's Museum's resident "Seussical Scientist" who brought Dr. Seuss' classics to life with experiments and silliness inspired by the legendary books. The larger-than-life program bridged literacy and STEM learning in a fun and engaging way.

***Special thanks to Wahoo Elementary PTO for providing funds for this assembly.***

Expectations During Extracurricular Activities

When Wahoo Elementary students attend an extracurricular activity it is expected that students watch the event. Parents/Guardians should actively supervise their children before, during, and after the event. All attendees are expected to be respectful and display good sportsmanship. If students are making a poor choice, they will be directed to sit next to their parent for the rest of the event.
