Here is the information for the Elementary Spring Concert!


Congratulations to our high school acalympics team for getting 2nd place in Division I of the Region 5 Acalympics competition in Linton last night. They did a great job representing Wishek School. Team members: Molly Herr, Levi Buchholz, Berkley Frantz, Parker Salwei, Carson Dalke, and Camden Wiest.
The junior high team also did a great job last night as it was a first time competing for half of the team. They made a great push in the lightning round and were 1 point away from placing. Team members: Alena Bernhardt, Olivia Kaseman, Manuel McGown, and Sebastian Bernhardt.
Dr. Josh Wiest was the advisor for both of these teams.



Pre-K through 6th grade students got to kick off the week with a wild, action-packed adventure! It was Magic Man and Mayhem Monday—a day full of jaw-dropping magic tricks, hilarious mayhem, and surprises at every turn. The Magic Man dazzled the kids with his amazing illusions, leaving everyone in awe.


Yesterday the music students competed in Large Group Contest in Oakes. The band performed Spring and Night Fury, and the choir performed Ad Astra and Storm. Everyone played and sang very well. Great job by both the students and Ms. Wolff. Bravo Wishek!




Wishek Public School will be ending their cost coverage of in-town busing at the conclusion of the week. You can still ride the bus, but the cost will now be parent responsibility.
