Last night, our Summer School Rising Stars put on an amazing show before a packed Watertown High School auditorium. The elementary and middle school-age students performed a medley of Broadway hits with dance routines that they learned over just 16 1-hour class periods. Well done students and staff!

Elementary-age students in the WUSD Summer School Snack Time class learned about desserts being a business this past Monday. They kicked off their dessert-theme week by eating ice cream sundaes and hearing a presentation from Hannah Otten, owner of Sweet Talkin' Treats in Watertown.
Hannah talked with students about the importance of kitchen safety, hand washing, teamwork, budgeting, proper clean-up and problem solving. She even brought treats from her bakery to share! šŖ

The fun and learning continues during Week 3 of the Watertown Unified School District Summer School program. Riverside Middle School was buzzing with activity this week as 5th-8th graders honed their baking skills, worked in teams playing board and card games, crafted beaded jewelry and decorations, and learned more about small animals and agriculture. Students also enjoyed plenty of gymnasium and outside time playing basketball, flag football, walking and talking, and biking around town.
š“š“āāļø RMS would like to thank Watertown drivers for being patient with the students who are biking around town with their instructors. Drivers have been very courteous about giving the bicyclists space and waiting for them to cross streets together as a group. This is sincerely appreciated!

On Friday, May 23, 12 Lincoln STEM Elementary School students participated in a pizza party celebration after toughing out a major challenge and mastering the 42-step algorithm to solve the Rubikās cube, start to finish. These students chose to learn how to solve the Rubikās cube during their recess twice a week for a semester. Many students went on to speed cubing and competed for the fastest time!
Holden Beauchamp achieved solving the Rubikās cube in 58 seconds and Giuseppe Green carried the fastest time at 57 seconds. Jessica Wiedenfeld and Gwendolyn Uselman are the Rubikās Cube Club advisors at Lincoln. Wiedenfeld said, āWe are incredibly proud of the grit, initiative, perseverance, and passion these students put into a skill that less than 5.8% of the worldās population can do!ā
Pictured are the Rubikās Cube Club members and advisors (front row, left to right): Brayden Jobgen, Sierra Phelps, Colton Draves, Brycen Bauknecht, Corgan Claire, Ivy Muza, (back row) Mrs. Wiedenfeld, Giuseppe Green, Julius Deaton, Holden Beauchamp, Makayla Flanagan, Genevieve Hoffman, Delilah Olson, and Mrs. Uselman.
