Please click on the link below for information regarding the upcoming youth wrestling season. The upcoming bond could have a huge positive impact on AGWSR Wrestling with new facilities planned. The proposed wrestling room would allow girls and boys to have access to locker rooms and would be big enough to safely hold girls and boys practice.

Elementary Families - Mark your calendars, our next Cougar Connection meeting is November 10th! Hope to see you there!

A big thank you to Kiersten Hummel and her daughter for taking time out of their day to educate us on stocks. Kiersten shared a little about her journey on working towards her stock broker license. As the 8th grade SAIL students are navigating their first time through the Stock Market Games, her knowledge on investment and terminology came in handy.

First grade SAIL students each came up with their own question to collect data on to later graph. We went beyond the classroom and asked others around the school. If you want to add to the data, here are the questions. Feel free to respond in the comments. 1) Would you prefer a cat or dog? 2) What town do you live in? 3) Do you prefer light green or dark green? 4) What is your favorite sport? 5) Which is your favorite holiday? (Christmas or Thanksgiving) 6) What is your favorite season?

Alondra and Michelle made this day so memorable in Mrs. Ainley's classroom. We had a great time crafting and playing games. We even had a little dance party! Thanks to all the friends that kept us fueled with goodies!

Last week, Mrs. Meyer's kindergarten class read, How to Catch a Monster. After that, they got to work making their own monster with play dough! Lots of creativity and imagination!

Position Opening: Middle School Special Education Paraprofessional

Come out & support these ladies on 11/7 💜

AGWSR Middle School Activities for the week of 11/2 - 11/6:

Mrs.Abbas's 4th graders had a great time at their Halloween party!

Our Kindergarten classes are excited to have the Osceola Raiders 4-H Club as our Book Angel sponsors this year! ❤️📚 Carli Lyon visited today to read us our first gifted book. Thank you for sharing the love of reading with our little learners!

Seventh through 10th grade SAIL girls had the opportunity to go to the Go Further STEM event today at ISU. They were exposed to a variety of sciences through information and hands-on activities. Some learned about vehicle assembly, innovation, problem-solving water pump issues, horticulture, and more!

Breaking news: Reports of ghosts roaming the high school have been confirmed. 👻 Turns out... they're just your AGWSR High School teachers showing their Cougar spirit! Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and Happy Halloween!
