State Qualifier! Jurnee Wehrman! Let's do some counting together: 1...2...3...4...5...6 EVENT STATE QUALIFIER! Yep, you heard it right, Jurnee has qualified for State in 6 events. She is a true competitor and understands the importance of hard work. It is rare to find the combination of talent, work ethic, and a TEAM first mentality. Her work ethic extends to everywhere she goes, all the way to running treadmill workouts on a cruise ship during spring break. Her team first mentality was exhibited at Regionals. She was a part of the state qualifying 4X400 team and did some sprinting to help the 4X200 qualify for state. In her two open events the 1600M & 800M, she placed 2nd place. She was a major contributor to the Girls' team score, helping rack up 32 points. Over the full season, Jurnee has qualified for these events: 3200M (#6 Class B State), 1600M (#12 Class B State), 800M (#13 Class B State), 4X800, 4X400, & 4X200. Way to go, Jurnee!

State Qualifiers! Girls 4X400 Relay! This team is made up of Skylar Wehrman, Aliza Pulvermacher, Jurnee Wehrman, & Vivian Nygaard! Their time of 4:21.99 was a PHENOMENAL 9 SECOND lifetime best for this group. If you've never been to a track meet, the 4X400 is the last event of the day. Everyone is excited & lining the track, but also tired from a full day of competing. These DC girls were locked in and on a mission. They have been putting in the HARD WORK all season and trust me running 400s & 800s is hard work. They came into this race as slight underdogs, however emerged as the 2nd place team in a very competitive 4X400. They helped cap off an awesome day and projected the DC Girls' Team to 3rd Place in the Region as a team (more information to come in the future). I couldn't be prouder of this team!
I want to give a shout out to Skylar & Aliza. They are our first 2 legs on this relay, and we really needed fast times from them. They delivered BIG time by both running lifetime best 400M splits. Skylar also scored points in the Javelin (6th place), and Aliza helped the 4X200 team get to State as well as jumped well in Long Jump.
This group of girls qualified the 4X800 relay earlier in the season with a time of 10:18.19 and are ranked #14 in Class B State! They are the current DC School Record holders in this event. Way to go, Skylar, Aliza, Jurnee, & Vivian!

State Qualifier! Audrina Fortier! Audrina has been a valuable part of the DC T&F program since 7th grade year. She is always willing to put in the work and does it with a smile. She is a combination of SPEED & JUMPING ability! This was put on display in the Triple Jump at the Regional Track Meet as Audrina hit a lifetime best of 31'4.5"!! She was also a part of the 4X100 that barely missed punching a state ticket. Way to go, Audrina!

State Qualifier! Paige Smithberg! Some people have a need for SPEED and Paige is one of them! Paige joined the track team this year and made an immediate impact. She is always working hard and looking to improve. This was showcased on the track today at the Regional Track Meet. Paige had the BEST day of her track career today. She started the day by running a lifetime best of 12.96 in the 100M. She then proceeded to anchor the 4X200 team to state qualifying with a 2nd place finish. She finished her day with a REGION CHAMPIONSHIP in the 200M with a time of 27.07! I told you she was fast! Way to go, Paige!

State Qualifier! Vivian Nygaard! Is there anything she can't do? Vivian has been a staple in the middle distance & sprint program. She is always giving her best effort and ready to do what's best for the team. This was shown today at the Regional Track Meet -- she was on 3 relays and ran 1 open. She helped 2 relays qualify for State and qualified for State in the open 400M. She ran a lifetime best of 1:02.39 in her 400M. She is our lead leg in the 4X100 & 4X200 relays and had us out to great starts in both. Then she finished her day with an amazing anchor leg in the 4X400, her 400 split was under 1:02 in a highly contested 4X400! Vivian and the 4X800 relay qualified for State earlier in the season and are currently ranked #14 in Class B State. Way to go, Vivian!

State Qualifiers! Girls 4X200 Relay! The team is made up of Vivian Nygaard, Jurnee Wehrman, Aliza Pulvermacher, & Paige Smithberg. Their time today was 1:51.51, this is a HUGE 2-SECOND PR. This group of girls is always working hard and looking to compete. They have been working on dialing in their handoffs, their diligence & hard work surely paid off today! Way to go, Vivian, Jurnee, Aliza, & Paige!

🏕️🔥 Mrs. Ator's Camp Learn-A-Lot 2026 was one for the books! 🔥🏕️
This week our classroom officially transformed into a campground full of learning, laughter, teamwork, and just a little bit of controlled chaos. 😂
Our campers spent the week:
✈️ Testing paper airplanes and changing variables like future engineers
🎭 Creating and performing reader’s theaters complete with props and sets
🗺️ Designing map grids and showing off their navigation skills
🍫 Describing s’mores with enough adjectives to make anyone hungry
🎣 Fishing for fractions and goldfish
🥤 Learning teamwork through cup stacking challenges
🫧 Making bubbles… or as teachers call it, “desk cleaning with extra fun”
📚 Reading by flashlight
🏕️ Completing camping-themed math, reading, science, and writing activities all week long
The students brought amazing energy, creativity, teamwork, and excitement every single day. It was such a fun way to wrap up the school year while still learning A LOT along the way!
A huge thank you to our families for helping provide supplies, treats, flashlights, chairs, and all the extra fun that helped make this week a success. We definitely made some memories around our “classroom campfire” this week! 🏕️🔥💛
