We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the family of Sgt. Schuyler Patch for their incredibly generous donation of 60 American flags to our football program.
What began as a playoff tradition in 2017 has become a powerful symbol of pride, unity, and patriotism for our Titans.
To the entire family, thank you for your generosity and for allowing our football program to be part of honoring Schuyler’s legacy

Our sixth graders had so much fun dressing up in their Halloween costumes and leading the Elementary Halloween Parade today! There were so many creative costumes and plenty of smiles. What a fun day filled with Halloween spirit! 🎃👻
This week, we celebrated Red Ribbon Week with the messages “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.” and “Together We Can Make a Difference.”
Our elementary students joined in the fun with dress-up days throughout the week: Twin/Triplet Day, Superhero or Real-Life Hero Day, Wear Red Day, Pajama Day, and School Colors or Spirit Wear Day!
Students also watched a video, enjoyed a song, and colored pictures to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and the importance of staying drug free. What a great week of learning, school spirit, and celebrating how we can make a difference together! ❤️

Eighth-grade ELA students became detectives in a race against the clock! Working with partners, they had 10 minutes to investigate a fictional missing mascot trophy, examine clues, and use the REASON framework to defend their conclusions with evidence. A fun challenge in critical thinking, collaboration, and communication!
Last night, several Wethersfield NHS members joined Lucy Landwehr in supporting her service project for the Kewanee Food Pantry, helping distribute monthly food boxes to local families from both Kewanee and Wethersfield schools. Great job serving others and making a difference in our community!
Join us on November 11 at Wethersfield High School for a Veterans Day Service hosted by the Kewanee Veterans Council. We look forward to welcoming veterans and their families as we honor those who have served our country. 🇺🇸 Please see the flyer for details.

You CRAN count on this fact,
Cranberries are bouncy
You can tell if a cranberry is ripe by seeing if it bounces. This unique characteristic is due to four tiny air pockets inside the berry. During harvesting, ripe cranberries are often sorted by being bounced down a series of barriers called “bounce boards.” Only the bounciest (and therefore ripest) ones make it to the packing house.

I have a secret to share,
Carved pumpkins were meant to protect against evil spirits
The tradition of carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween originated from an old Irish custom. People would carve turnips or potatoes with frightening faces and place them near doors and windows to ward off evil spirits, particularly during the Celtic festival of Samhain. When Irish immigrants arrived in America, they found pumpkins to be much easier to carve, and the tradition evolved.

Tomorrow marks the start of Red Ribbon Week! We encourage all elementary and junior high students and staff to participate in the dress-up days as we promote healthy choices and a drug-free lifestyle.

Snack facts for today
Figs aren’t fruits, they’re flowers
That sweet, chewy fig isn’t a fruit in the traditional sense. It’s actually an inverted flower. The fleshy part you eat is called a “syconium,” a special cluster of flowers blooming inside the fig's protective casing. These flowers later develop into the fig’s crunchy little seeds. Tiny wasps play a crucial role in pollinating them.
