On Wednesday, 17 members of the high school teaching staff, along with our principal, volunteered at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank to help package bulk food. The team worked together to package 46 boxes of cereal to be distributed across Northeast Iowa. They also had the opportunity to tour the facilities and learn more about the food bank's impact on the community. This effort not only supports those in need but also sets a great example for our students about the importance of giving back. It’s moments like these that show what it truly means to be part of the Waverly Shell Rock School District family. Proud to see our teachers and administrators lead by example! It’s always a great day to be a Go Hawk! 🦅💙 #GoHawks #CommunityImpact #GivingBack"
🎄 Holiday Cheer at Waverly-Shell Rock High School! 🎄
The Waverly-Shell Rock High School recently hosted a festive Christmas luncheon for current staff and retired teachers who were part of the High School team. It was a heartwarming day filled with catching up, strolling down memory lane through old yearbooks, and sharing wonderful conversations.
A special highlight was the incredible performance by the Waverly-Shell Rock High School Choir, spreading holiday cheer with their beautiful music.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event so memorable. It’s truly a great day to be a Go-Hawk! 🖤💛 🎶
🎉 A huge 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to the WSR Dance Team for earning the Lois Turnage Community Service Award from the Iowa State Dance Team Association – an honor they’ve earned nearly every year since 2008! 🏆💛🖤
Efforts like Project Linus and Filling the Truck for Hope Lodge, make a real difference. Plus, they’re always ready to jump in when the community needs a hand – like helping with hot chocolate for this weekend’s Christmas Carriage Rides with the Waverly Chamber!
Thank you, Go-Hawk dancers, for leading with kindness and making our community proud! 👏
