SEMESTER IN REVIEW After a much-needed holiday break, Wichita Collegiate students, faculty, and staff were ready to return for a great second semester! Athletic team practices and games were instantly in full swing and 7th and 8th grade students started preparing right away for finals. Following a favorite tradition of WCS students and parents, the 7th graders tackled the study of World War II in January, capping off a week of study with a USO Dance in the Lair. Students dressed up in 1940s garb and danced the night away! Third grade students studied biographies and historical figures to kick off their second semester, reading books and researching online about a person, past or present, to represent in the 3rd Grade Wax Museum. Students became their person of choice, coming to life for museum visitors to share biographical information, contributions to society, and interesting facts. Mary Lou Retton, Alexander Hamilton, and Elvis made appearances this year! Early Childhood kiddos celebrated Kansas Day and our state heritage with Pioneer Day on January 27. Students donned cowboy hats and gingham dresses to rope calves, wash clothes on a scrub board, square dance, and hang out with live farm animals. What a way to wrap up January!
