A big thank you to the Jessamine County Public Library for hosting our first graders for an unforgettable tour, storytime, and loads of fun! The kids had a fantastic time exploring the library and learning the magic of reading. We appreciated their warm hospitality and dedication to fostering a love for books in our young learners!
💙The Warner community makes a difference in our world! Cincinnati Children's Hospital sent us a supersized check commemorating our Coins for Cancer donation for pediatric cancer research and a meaningful note from a CCH staff member. The check is now hanging in our front hallway alongside three other checks from our previous donations.
Our halls are decked out with these beautiful mini mosaics that our students designed and created on their own during art class!
Our students enjoyed meeting Amber Sawyer, the author of the book, Love to Race! Ms. Sawyer read her story about her beloved racehorse to our students and shared about caring for horses and about her experience writing books.
Mrs. Han's second grade class recently enjoyed reading a variety of fairy tales and performed a readers theater to share the stories with their classmates and families!
🇺🇸It was our pleasure to welcome Veterans to lunch at Warner today! We are grateful for those in our community who are currently serving or have served in the military. Thank you for protecting our country and our freedom!
🇺🇸Our Wildcat Buddy groups made thank you cards for the veterans in our community to show our appreciation for their service. Some of these cards are lining our halls for those who will be attending our Veterans Day Lunch, and some will be delivered to the veterans at the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center.
Mrs. Simon's class explored the concept of energy as they collaborated with partners to create imaginary amusement park rides with classroom tools!
🎃Our PE teacher, Ms. Best, is spreading the spirit of fall and fitness throughout Warner by giving classes a "pumpkin punch" and challenging them to a fall fitness challenge. Mrs. Ashley's and Ms. Barnhardt's classes were two classes who were recently "pumpkin-punched"! Once classes complete their pumpkin workout, they get to "pumpkin-punch" another class.
🍁Our second graders enjoyed a fantastic trip to Buckmeadow Farms! They had a blast riding the hayrides, picking pumpkins, petting the farm animals, and playing together.
Congratulations to Ms. Parks' class for being the champion of our candy bag donations! They enjoyed a well-deserved reward of festive donuts. We appreciate all the candy bags donated, making our Fall Fantasy a success!
🍎Our 1st graders enjoyed their own pumpkin patch and apple orchard experience right here at Warner! They had fun picking pumpkins and apples and even tasting fresh apple cider.
🎃Our annual pumpkin book character contest was a success! We love all the creative ways our students use pumpkins and art to bring book characters to life.
💙With it being Safe Schools Week, we want to give a huge shout-out to our Warner bus drivers and monitors! We are lucky to have such a great group of drivers and monitors who really care about our kids. One terrific example is Ms. Kayla and Ms. Melanie celebrating their students' birthdays with a treat from their Birthday Box!
Our third graders recently read stories about solving problems with themes of clever thinking, learning from others, the simplest solution, and everyone makes mistakes. Students utilized creative problem-solving methods and collaboration to save Fred, a friendly worm who took his boat out on the lake and forgot to put on his life preserver. A strong wind caused his boat to capsize. Fred was stranded on top, and his life preserver was underneath. Students created a plan to turn Fred's boat right side up, put Fred in his boat, and put Fred's life preserver on him. Students were not allowed to touch Fred (gummy worm), his boat (plastic cup), or the life preserver (gummy Lifesaver). They were allowed to use 4 paperclips to save Fred. A great way to practice thinking critically to solve problems!
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, our 5th graders learned a folk dance from Mexico, our 3rd graders learned a patty cake game from San Juan, and our 1st graders learned a song about the coqui frog in Puerto Rico!
🎉Congratulations to our Warner students and staff! We recently received our state testing ratings based on the 2023-24 Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) that our 3rd-5th graders take each spring. Each school is assigned a color based on its performance level. Our overall score increased from last year, and Warner is now categorized as a GREEN/HIGH-PERFORMING school! We are so proud of our students' hard work and the intentionality of our staff!
🎉Our specials teachers are so excited for the first day of school tomorrow!!!
💙We loved seeing all of our Warner Wildcats at open house tonight. What an exciting year we have ahead of us! Welcome back, everyone!
❤️Back to school time is right around the corner. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and we'll see you soon!
