Wellford Academy of Science and Technology - Where Dedication Meets Innovation

🎻 DR Hill’s orchestra visited today, giving our 5th graders an exciting peek into middle school music! Our students loved hearing the instruments up close and imagining themselves in the program next year. 🎶❤️

✨ 3rd Grade + The Chaser Initiative! ✨
Our 3rd graders had the coolest visit from the Chaser Initiative, an organization inspired by Chaser the Border Collie—the world-famous dog who learned more than 1,000 words! 🐶📚

The program teaches students how curiosity, practice, and a love of learning can lead to incredible things… just like they did for Chaser. Their team brought along a trained dog to help students make real connections to those lessons, and you should’ve seen the smiles when that furry friend walked into each classroom!

We’re so grateful for the Chaser crew and the way they sparked joy, wonder, and big learning moments for our Wolfpack today. ❤️🐺💫
Here’s to chasing knowledge—one wagging tail at a time!

🐾Paw Patrol Lunch and Learn 🍔 Duty never stops for these pack members! Today they met to discuss safety tips and how to make the Paw Patrol even better! 🐾❤️

Kona Ice visits are always a treat! 🍧

😂✨ Ms. Walts’ class took “six sevennnnnn” to a whole new level today!
Instead of just doing the chant and hand motions, they used 6 and 7 in their math lesson — writing and solving their own word problems like absolute legends.

You’ve never seen such serious math faces followed by such dramatic “six sevennnnnn” energy.
Numbers? ✔️
Learning? ✔️
Unnecessary but hilarious sound effects? Also ✔️😂

These kids understood the assignment AND the trend. 😎

✨ Introducing Wellford’s newest leadership crew! ✨
Today we held the very first meeting of our Multilingual Ambassador Program, and these students are already shining so bright. 🌟

This new initiative lifts up a handful of our multilingual learners and gives them meaningful ways to lead—welcoming new students and families, translating simple greetings, and representing the Wolfpack at future multilingual events.

We’re so proud of the heart, courage, and community spirit these ambassadors bring to our school. ❤️🐺

Leadership starts here, and our Wolfpack is stronger because of them! 🌍📣

✨ Chalk Math in action! ✨ Miss Goldsmith and Mrs. Drummond’s class took their learning outside today and turned the sidewalk into a giant math playground. Colorful chalk, big smiles, and even bigger math thinking happening all around! 🧮🎨 Love seeing our Wolfpack make learning this fun! 🐺❤️

We are so thankful for Ms. Watson and her program that allows our almost-Wolfpack kiddos to visit and work on skills to get them ready for school! 🐾❤️This program brings so much joy, comfort, and connection to our students, and we love seeing the smiles they create. Thank you, Ms. Watson, for sharing your time, heart, and friendship with our future Wolfpack! 🐺✨

🐾❄️ Huge shoutout to our amazing Paw Patrol for braving the cold mornings this week! Your smiles, waves, and helping hands make arrival run smoothly no matter the temperature. We appreciate you! ❤️🖤

🍬➗ Mrs. Jones’ 5th graders made math sweet! Students practiced division using Skittles — a fun (and tasty!) way to reinforce their skills. 🍭 Great job, Wolfpack mathematicians! ❤️🖤

📚👏 Shoutout to Ben, a 5th grader in Ms. Benson’s class, for showing amazing leadership and initiative! Ben chose to spend some of his monthly points to teach a grammar lesson to his classmates — all about the difference between imperative and exclamatory sentences! 💬✨ Way to go, Ben! We love seeing our Wolfpack students take charge of their learning and share their knowledge with others! 🐾❤️🖤

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes 🇺🇸 Today at Wellford Academy, we proudly celebrated our veterans — the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and dedication. ❤️💙 Our morning began with breakfast to honor our guests, followed by a special program in the gym featuring heartfelt performances from our first graders, the Wellford Chorus, and inspiring research presentations from our third graders. We wrapped up this meaningful day with a mini photo shoot for our veterans and their students — a perfect way to capture the love and pride shared across generations. 📸 Thank you to all veterans for your service and sacrifice, and a special thank you to those who were able to join us today. Your presence made our celebration truly unforgettable. ❤️🤍💙 Check our Facebook and Instagram for more photos!

Our Paw Patrol was out bright and early this morning, helping keep everyone safe and smiling! 🐾❄️ Temperatures are dropping this week, so don’t forget to bundle up, Wolfpack! ❤️🖤

🥯 5th Grade Math Fun with “The Bagel King”! 🥯 Our 5th graders recently brought The Bagel King to life during math! Inspired by the story, students “shopped” at Wesley’s Bakery, selecting bagels, toppings, and drinks. They used their knowledge of decimal multiplication to find totals for each category, make estimates, and calculate tax. Students practiced multiple multiplication strategies while connecting math to a real-world situation. Of course, the best part came at the end — enjoying some delicious bagels and treats! 🧮✨

🍂🎃 Our kindergarteners had the best day at Strawberry Hill! From picking the perfect pumpkins to exploring the farm, it was a fall field trip full of smiles, learning, and fun! 🍓🧡

🏈🥫 It’s time for our Annual PTO Food Drive! 🥫🏈

Starting Monday, you’ll find bins in the cafeteria ready to be filled with non-perishable food items. All donations will go toward helping local families in need — and we’re adding a little friendly competition to make it fun!

💜🧡 Team Clemson or ❤️🖤 Team Carolina — which one will fill their bin the fastest? Bring your items and show your team spirit while making a difference!

The drive runs through November 21st — let’s see which team the Wolfpack supports most while giving back to our community! 🐾💪

🎶 The D.R. Hill Middle School band stopped by today to show off their amazing talent! Our 5th graders were so impressed—and inspired—as they got a glimpse of what’s waiting for them next year! 🎺🥁

The Wolfpack is wild about reading! 🐾📖 Our library is the perfect place to curl up with a great book.

📬✨ Exciting news from Mrs. Phillips’ class! Her students have been writing letters to their favorite authors — and just received their first reply!

Dr. Seuss Enterprises sent one of our students a book with a personalized message inside — they even added his name to the book! How incredible is that? 💌📚

Way to go, readers and writers — you never know what can happen when you reach out and share your words! ❤️
