Wind River Elementary third, fourth, and fifth graders celebrated their hard work on state WY-Topp testing with a prize drawing! Congratulations prize winners!
Remember to wear red tomorrow in support of MMIPs.
Some of our Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to attend the Union Trade Day hosted by Wind River TERO. Students learned how to do some pipefitting, making their own bottle openers. They used a simulator to learn how to operate heavy equipment used in building roads. Some even had the chance to drive a mini excavator. The students learned that Wyoming has several all expenses paid training programs in a variety of high paying trade careers. Training programs represented included boilermakers, electricians, sheet metal workers, pipefitters, plumbers, and operating engineers.
Students and staff members are invited to wear red on Thursday, May 2nd in honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons.
