Instead of a traditional party with costumes and candy, second-graders at Washington-Kosciusko, for the past 15 years, go ice skating at Bud King Ice Arena with the boys and girls hockey teams. With the support and help from hockey coaches Tom Sanvik and Fran McDevitt, this activity brings together students from different ages for a memorable experience for all. If only you could have heard the conversations on the ice!

Altra Federal Credit Union recently made a $500 donation to the WSHS Clothing Closet, which provides laundry, clothing and other resources free of charge to students.

On Tuesday, Dec. 10, during a game against Albert Lea, the Winhawks will honor all employees in the district with WAPS staff appreciation night. The varsity players will be escorted onto the court by a teacher or staff member of their choice.
