Wellford Academy of Science and Technology - Where Dedication Meets Innovation

Mrs. Varner’s 3rd graders are on the move… and learning about FRICTION! 🏎️✨ We discovered how friction can slow things down by testing a smooth ramp vs. a sandpaper ramp to see how far our toy cars would travel! 📏 We measured, recorded our data, and will be graphing our results next. Big thanks to Officer Wright for helping us measure like pros! 👏📊 Hands-on learning at its best! 🐺

We kicked off our first Beta Club meeting this week! Students learned about the four pillars of Beta, talked about how to be positive role models in our school, and began brainstorming ideas for our spring service project.

🧲✨ Mrs. Phillip’s 5th graders put their learning to the test! After reading all about magnets, students created their very own compasses… and they really worked! 🧭🙌 Hands-on learning + curious minds = success! Way to go, Wolfpack! 🐺

5th Grade GT put their engineering skills to the test! 🌉💡
Students were challenged to build the strongest bridge possible using only classroom materials — with one big catch: it had to include at least 4 triangles! 🔺🔺🔺🔺

Huge congrats to Vitaly and Simon for taking the win! 🏆 Their bridge held up all of our robotics kits… and even Vitaly! 😲👏

Way to build, test, and think like engineers, Wolfpack! 🐺✨

💕Spreading the love this Valentine’s Day!
Ms. Walts' First Graders had the opportunity, at home, to address and sign their Valentine cards. Then they sorted and delivered the mail to each of their classmates. The day ended with each student opening and reading all of their mail. Such fun and what a great learning experience!
Love is in the air at Wellford!💕

Honoring the past. Celebrating the present. Inspiring the future. ✊🏾📚✨
