These members want to share their love of basketball by providing an opportunity for Wethersfield Elementary students to learn some fundamentals and have fun doing it! Details are on the flyer for the November 2nd Skills Camp. Please consider registering your Wethersfield student in grades 1-6 with a $10 donation that will go directly to the Kewanee Food Pantry.

Dear Wethersfield Community Members, I wanted to take a moment to personally share some news with you. After much thought and prayer, I have accepted a position to become the next Superintendent of Schools for Knoxville CUSD #202, beginning July 1, 2026. My resignation from Wethersfield will take effect on June 30, 2026. This was not an easy decision. Wethersfield has been a special place to serve. Together, we’ve accomplished great things—earning an Exemplary designations from the State, expanding the arts, creating new learning environments like the AR/VR lab, and tackling major facility improvements that will serve students for years to come. Just as importantly, we’ve built upon a culture rooted in kindness, teamwork, and pride—which makes this “One Block, One Flock” community feel like family. I want to sincerely thank our Board of Education for their trust and partnership, and our incredible administrators, teachers, and staff for your dedication to kids every single day. In particular, I have great confidence in Mr. Tyler Nichols and Mr. Kyle Dennison, whose leadership, character, and steady presence will help guide the district through this transition and continue to move Wethersfield forward. While I’m excited about returning to Knoxville, where my teaching career began nearly three decades ago, please know that Wethersfield will always hold a very special place in my heart. I am deeply grateful for the relationships, the trust, and the shared sense of purpose that define this community. Over the next several months, my focus remains squarely on finishing strong—supporting our students, staff, and district initiatives, and helping ensure a seamless leadership transition. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey with all of you. Dr. B.
