Our Sports Turf Management class recently rejuvenated and refreshed one of our school memorial areas around our parking lot. This job required them to work together and consider all of the needs of a landscaping project like this so it can be easily maintained, maintain longevity, and have quality eye appeal.

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! 🖤💛 🎶
