Prom Update. Bare with me... With MUCH consideration and conversation with myself, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Bohlen, Ms. Wade, and the Post-Prom committee, we have decided to go ahead with a prom for our students. We want the kids to have this moment. They deserve this moment. With that being said... Prom will be held at Harvest View Farms in Sperry. Prom will go from 6pm-11pm. ( this may seem like a long time but food will be provided and games will be set up with post prom so we want to give the kids enough time for all of the activities and pictures with Jaime) The capacity at Harvest View Farms is 160 people at 50%. We will follow social distancing guidelines. There will be indoor outdoor seating available to help with those guidelines. We will also follow the regulations that softball and baseball have to follow with taking temperatures of the kids as they come to the venue. IF you have a temperature, you will NOT be allowed in. We will have sanitizer available and also, we are not requiring masks but recommend them if you feel that you would like to wear one. Grand March into the venue WILL (or is planned to be) live streamed. We have also decided to do a cruise night type grand march (More will come for that in a different post of how it will work) for those that do not have internet capabilities. The plan is to have students out on 2nd street downtown from 4-5pm (weather permitting) for everyone to see. Then they will head to Harvest View Farms, from their prom experience. Prom and grand march are for STUDENTS only. We ask that no parents or others come (other than sponsors/chaperones) to the venue as we are trying to follow guidelines and social distancing. Jaime will be set up with photos to purchase. We will get those forms out to you very soon. We also will have food provided at the venue and post prom will also be set up with some games and prizes for kids to enjoy while at prom and to also help with the social distancing. STUDENTS that are juniors and seniors; PLEASE try your best to follow social distancing. Also I will be sending out google forms for you to tell me who your date will be and for King and Queen Vote. We will not be having waiters and waitresses this year, No little king and queen and no ushers in order to keep up on social distancing to the best of our abilities. I may have forgotten some details but I will put out more as I think of them. This is for the kids and we want them to have fun. With all of the money spent, and how this year has gone, its the least we can do. If you are not comfortable with your child attending prom, please know they are not required to attend. We will understand fully. Thank you. Brittani Beeding

Our 5th graders missed out on a couple of big events this year, the 5th grade track meet, and getting to run out of the building one last time as Graduates of Wapello Elementary. We will recognize our 5th grade graduates today, we send our congratulations and best wishes as you move to Junior High in the fall. Congratulations! #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride

Baseball: What to know for tonight’s 5PM opening practice. When you come to practice today, enter through the right field corner, do not enter any dugout, the locker room is off limits, and bring water for yourself. Please stay 6 feet away from anyone else and put your gear along the fence, at least 6 feet apart. We will begin screenings at 4:40, it would be good to be early. But please remain in your car until we are set up to take players in. We will be going over all protocols and expectations with players tonight to begin practice. If you have a sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, close contact with someone who has tested positive, or fever... do NOT come to practice. And please contact Coach Brown at 563-506-2341. We will be checking temps at the field and asking these questions of each player as well. Together we can make this season a success, please be patient as we will try to make things as smooth as possible.

May 29, 2020 Update: Food pickup/delivery resumes on Monday next week. Available to anyone age 0-19, whether you go to school in Wapello or not. Baseball/Softball practice starts Monday. We all need to hope this goes well. The success or failure of this will play a big factor in what the fall will look like. As you enjoy the weather this weekend, remember... Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride

May 28, 2020 Update: Some updates on Prom and Graduation for everyone. Let's start with Prom. We are currently exploring every possibility to have a Promish type event on June 20. We're working on an appropriate location and format that will allow us to follow the Governor's guidelines while still allowing our kids to recapture this end-of-year experience. There will be more information coming on this as we are able to finalize more details. Next, let's talk about Graduation. It looks as if we will be able to hold a Graduation ceremony on June 28 at 7:00 pm at the football field. Again, more details will be released as they are finalized. Since the event would be held outside, we are not limited as to the number of people who can attend, provided we maintain social distancing. There's still a great deal of work to do in order to make both of these events happen. And, by now, we all realize that the best laid plans can be for nothing as the COVID-19 continues. But, as of now, both Prom and Graduation are a go. Baseball and softball practice for HS begins on Monday. There are many rules that coaches need to follow. This is being used as a trial run by the state and its success or failure will play a role in what the fall will look like. Please be patient with everyone as we work to operate within these new rules being placed upon us. Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands. Stay six feet away from other people who don't live with you. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride
