Wellford Academy of Science and Technology - Where Dedication Meets Innovation

🧩 **BUILDING WORDS + BUILDING COMMUNITY!** ❤️🐺

Ms. Jones and Ms. Mash’s classes were putting their skills into action this week! 📚 Students **collaborated to create new words using prefixes**, proving that learning is even better when we work together.

And the teamwork didn’t stop in the classroom! At recess, these friends continued to show **kindness and community** in how they played, included, and encouraged one another. 🫶

That’s the **Wolfpack Way**—learning together, playing together, and being a helpful member of the PACK! 🐾❤️

🍕🌮 STOP SCROLLING… it’s FOODIE FRIDAY! 🤤🎉 Mrs. Wells’ class is wrapping up the week with a little extra flavor! Foodie Friday is the perfect way to mix learning, fun, and some seriously happy students. ❤️🐺 Because Fridays are already great… but Fridays with FOOD? Even better! 😋🙌 #FoodieFriday #WolfpackFun #WellfordAcademy

🐺 ACCOUNTABILITY IN ACTION! ❤️🖤 Sanji in Mrs. Props’ first grade class showed us exactly what it means to be a helpful member of the PACK this morning! After breakfast, he noticed his crumbs and took responsibility by cleaning them up—all on his own! 👏✨ It may seem like a small act, but big character is built in little moments like these! ❤️ Way to show ACCOUNTABILITY, Sanji! 🐾 We are proud to have you in our Wolfpack! 🐺❤️🖤 #WolfpackWay #Accountability #HelpfulMemberOfThePACK #WellfordAcademy

🚨 LOOK WHO SHOWED UP FOR MORNING CAR DUTY! 🏈❤️🐺 Our students got a Friday morning surprise when some of our Byrnes High School football players joined us to open doors, welcome students, and start the day with some Rebel spirit! 🙌 And it was extra special because two of those players are former members of our very own Wolfpack! 🐺➡️🏈 Seeing our former Wolves back at Wellford—now representing Byrnes—made us so proud! Thank you, Rebels, for spending your morning with us! We’re wishing you GOOD LUCK tonight as you kick off your season! 🏈🔥 We’ll be cheering you on from the Wolfpack! ❤️🖤 Once a Wolf, always a Wolf! GO REBELS! 🐺❤️🏈

🐾 Paw Patrol in Action! 🐾 We’re highlighting even more of our fabulous Paw Patrol crew hard at work last week! 🌟 These students jumped right in, lent a helping paw, and showed what it means to be responsible leaders around Wellford Academy. We’re so proud of our Wolfpack! 🐾👏 ❤️🐺#WellfordWolfpack #WellfordAcademy

🐺 Living the Wolfpack Way! ❤️ Today in Ms. Peppers and Ms. Johnson’s kindergarten class, students showed us what Community & Kindness look like in action!

The kids had a blast, learned a lot about Ms. Benson, and proved that getting to know your teacher is WAY more fun with Gimkit than a PowerPoint! 😂❤️🐺
