School Name Survey Results

In an effort to determine the community's preference regarading the name of our elementary school when we move buildings next year, the school district sent out an electronic survey. The survey received 253 on-time responses. The results are:
Wellsville Elementary: 222 votes
Willow Valley Elementary: 29 votes
Other: 2 votes

We do not yet know what the name will officially be. We are assuming the results will be presented to the school board at their next meeting in October. We will keep you posted as we have news and information.

Wolf Cub Howl Schedule

The students at Wellsville Elementary School will be running their fundraiser race today. Everyone is welcome to come cheer them on!
There are no official race times other than the Kindergarten. Kindergarten is first and will race at 1:30. Their race is a dash so it will be fast. First grade is next and is also a dash. We will then move grade by grade, with 2-5 grades running a mile each. The next race will start after all children are done from the previous race. Typically, each mile race is about 15 minutes. That is approximate and not a guarantee.
We will have a table set up by the pavilion on the square to take more donations if you want to donate. We will have some things for sale, from shirts, to backpacks, to water bottles. It is a really fun day!
