It was amazing this week watching so many of our students enjoy our new music lab! The excitement in their eyes as they explored new instruments, learned new skills, and discovered a love for music was truly incredible. Shout out to our grade 5 Peer Leaders for helping out!! 🎼

Huge shout out to our Wandell 2025-2026 Peer Leaders!! 💙💛
These amazing students worked so hard all year helping our school community in so many different ways. From supporting younger students to spreading kindness and leadership throughout Wandell, we are beyond proud of them!

What an awesome visit today at Wandell School! 💙💛 A proud member of the Wandell Class of 1977 stopped by to visit his favorite elementary school! Thank you to Mr. Patterson for bringing in his original 1977 report card and sharing a photo of the teacher who signed it. Even more amazing, he was part of the class that helped bury the time capsule right outside our building! Wandell pride and strong roots run deep here. 🕰️📚

So grateful for Nurse Siemsen 💖
