Students talked; we listened.

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year: A new chapter for W-SR Schools!
Thanks to the Waverly Newspapers for publishing this four-part series introducing our district's new Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Desired Daily Experiences! Here's the link to the first installment, published on September 4, 2025: https://www.communitynewspapergroup.com/welcome-to-the-2025-2026-school-year-a-new-chapter-for-w-sr-schools/article_1d4a52a2-1d10-4cb5-b4fc-cba98c2c6bae.html
The students have spoken as to how they want our North Ridge Go-Hawk to look! Local artist, Dan Hatala, is in the process of turning our students' visions into a work of art. The completed fiberglass statue was picked up from the UNI Art Incubator last week and brought to Waverly for the final step in our year-long process. I wonder what those driving by us thought when they saw those large feet sticking out of the back of our truck!! Stay tuned for pictures from our unveiling ceremony, when we have the "Big Reveal" for the students of North Ridge on October 10th! We are so excited to show our Go-Hawk pride!!!
