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. 🇺🇸
Kindergarten through fourth grade were hard at work to create a "Thank you!" to our veterans for today's service. They all decorated hands that made up the signs and flag. Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your service!
Several SAIL groups worked to make this patriotic agamograph, optical and kinetic art, for Veterans Day! The picture changes when you move. Pictured is our 7th grade SAIL group who posed by their creation.
The AGWSR Elementary would like to thank everyone for the donations we received for our Tech-Free Challenge. What a generous community!
We are still accepting donations if you had some you were planning on dropping off. Thanks again for your support.
We are so excited it is play week! Come join us for the AGWSR fall play Anchors Aweigh Nov. 14-15, 2025 at 7pm in the HS gym. Tickets are $7.
