October has been a significantly challenging month academically! Student of the Month is a great way to recognize those students who have shown our values inside and outside the classroom. Congrats Eagles

Congratulations to Mrs. Melendez, our elementary school Spanish teacher, who celebrated her 10th year anniversary at Washburn School!

Queremos demostrarles lo útil que puede ser nuestra página web que hemos tenido desde el 2012 (www.washburnschoolpr.com) y el gran trabajo de nuestra maestra de ciencia de elemental.

We concluded the Brain 🧠 Safety Challenge / Egg 🥚 Drop! Students found ways to protect the brain from damage by designing and creating a helmet made out of recycled materials. Washburn students from 9th to 12th grade have learned about the complex brain anatomy and each part’s function through active learning! They also have learned about various neurotransmitters and their roles, the long-term effects of concussions, dozens of neurological diseases , the complex functions of the nervous system, and we have introduced simple neuropsychological concepts

The voting 🗳 and total rubric criteria points for each student were extremely close and many students not included in this list have shown great work during one of the most difficult months of the year regarding academic load! Keep up the great work

Each homeroom teacher has been assigned a country to highlight in your classroom by decorating the door and classrooms with the country designated. We also will  integrate the contributions that Hispanics have done locally, internationally, or globally in the arts, science, economy, politics, education, sports, literature, and medicine in our daily classes at Washburn.

We would like to welcome Professor Edward Torres to the Washburn family! He will be leading our PK-12th grade school and our Conversational English Courses for Adults and Children on Saturdays and the Evenings.
