This August and September, our EC–5th grade Eagles are discovering Wellsville through hands-on place-based learning!
Through the KRIATE project, Wellsville teachers are partnering with Kansas State University to create lessons that connect classroom learning to our community. Students are exploring Wellsville’s history, people, places, and traditions through activities like creating Main Street murals, learning about local symbols, exploring historic buildings, studying changes in transportation, and talking with community members.
These experiences help students see their hometown in a new way while connecting their learning to the world right outside their doors.
Be sure to visit our students’ work during Wellsville Days on September 26th at the Milestone Events Center from 8:00–11:00 a.m. and celebrate the wonderful work of our students and teachers! ❤️💙🦅
Special thanks to the Patterson Family Foundation for generously funding this work and to our Wellsville teachers and KSU partners for making these learning experiences possible!
Here is the weekly newsletter! Lots of fun things going on this weekend in Wellsville!

🦅Reminder: Late Start Friday, September 25, 2026
Eagles, spread your wings and soar,
But Friday morning, sleep a little more! 😴
No need to rush, no need to fly.
You’ve got an extra hour before we try!
School starts at 9:00 AM, so take your time,
Wake up, get ready, and feel just fine!
Then flap those wings and head our way.
It’s Late Start Friday! Hip hip hooray! 🦅❤️🤍💙
At The Eagles' Nest, we believe in the power of words. We believe that words in the form of a compliment can change the trajectory of someone's day. You never know how someone's day is going, so always try to bring joy with your words. This video is a testament how kind words can light up someone's face and brighten their day. Be brighter!
Tune in for future episodes of Brighter throughout the year!
