Farley Elementary purchased new books for classrooms with the donation from the Peosta Optimist Club. These books are of varying interests and levels which allows students to enjoy these books independently. Thank you for your generosity.
Be sure to tune in to hear our 5th grade students sing holiday favorites on the radio. Students have been practicing the songs during music and are excited to hear them air on the radio.

Mr. Meyer and Western Dubuque High School Art teacher, Mrs. Urbain collaborated on a project between WDHS and Farley Elementary. First graders drew an animal on paper and Mrs. Urbain's high school students sculpted the animal using various art materials. The first graders got their sculptures this week to take home and enjoy with their families. #wdbqschools
All second graders at Farley Elementary received the book, Just Like Caitlyn from the Jensen family. This book shares the journey of the Iowa Basketball player, Caitlyn Clark, and her journey of hard work, determination and dreaming big. #wdbqschools

Farley Elementary School was pleased to welcome members of the WDCCSD School Board for an insightful visit! Our board members had the opportunity to learn about the English Learners (EL) program at FES, which serves 26 students and offers cultural learning opportunities to enrich all students' experiences. With more than 90 students qualifying for the EL program across our district, WDCCSD is committed to creating a productive learning environment that supports growth and fosters diverse perspectives.
In the WDCCSD, we're committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment that nurtures our students' social, emotional, and behavioral development. 9 out of 10 of our families already recognize these efforts, and we're striving to make it 10 out of 10 for all. Together, we continue to build a safe, welcoming, and growth-oriented district for every student. #wdbqschools
