Wheaton R-III School District

Life Skills Day was a great experience for our students. Our teachers and staff members did an excellent job sharing their knowledge, leading conversations, and helping students think through situations they may face in everyday life. It was truly a team effort and a great example of how much our staff cares about preparing students not only for success in school, but for life beyond the classroom.

Our students had an amazing time during the The NED Show assembly! 🎉 During the program, students learned about NED’s three important messages while enjoying storytelling, magic, humor, and some incredible yo-yo tricks.

The NED Show focuses on life-long lessons that help students grow both in and out of the classroom. These messages remind our Bulldogs that hard work, kindness, and perseverance can make a big difference every day.

If your student was inspired by the show, yo-yos are now available for purchase in the elementary office! 🪀
We loved seeing our students engaged, laughing, and learning valuable lessons they can carry with them for years to come! Want to discuss more about this at home with your child? Check out the link below for additional resources!
