Wasington Students win $1000 and School Party

Students at Washington School have earned a $1000 first prize for a dance number called “Nature’s Candy!”

Poodle skirts, dancers, jugglers and hoppin' to the beat were all part of a video production entry for the nationally acclaimed "Jump with Jill" program. Jump with Jill works to attack childhood obesity by getting kids active.

Eleven students from Washington’s fifth grade and their teacher Kelly Ongna made the video to tell other students to say "NO" to candy and sweets and get active. The school will also receive funds for a watermelon party from the "Jump With Jill" group. To see the video go to: http://youtu.be/suA97aqmh28

Marshfield One of Nation's TOP AFS Schools

AFS-USA has announced the recipients of its “2013 Top AFS School” awards. Schools honored with this inaugural award have partnered with AFS in a variety of ways to foster global citizenship through intercultural learning - both inside and outside of the classroom - from hosting international students, sending students abroad, and working with AFS-USA to incorporating intercultural and experiential learning opportunities into their curriculum.

From the AFS/USA website

The high schools selected from around the country for this public recognition are making a profound difference in the lives of students and in society at large. The ability to speak another language, to navigate in a different cultural context, and to marshal a global perspective are skills that today’s students need to succeed in our increasingly interdependent world.

“We’re so thankful and proud to work in educational partnership with these schools,” said Tonya Muro, the Director of School Outreach at AFS-USA. “Today’s AFS is so much more than international educational exchange. Together with schools, AFS is bringing global competencies and key 21st century skills to students, teachers, and the greater community.”
