The new "spa" relaxation room at WGS! With the closing of Westside School in Hays, we needed a space at Washington Grade School for students to go to relax and refocus. What better place then a spa?? A HUGE THANK YOU to the WIESNER GRANT!!! Without their generous grant, this room would not have been possible. The students love the relaxing fish tank, the fun egg chair swing, and the diffuser which resembles a little fire and makes the room smell so good! I have seen so many smiles and happy students this year! Thank you again, Wiesner grant for ALL you do for our students in Ellis!!!!
If you get a chance, stop by the resource room at WGS and see the room for yourself! The pictures don't do it justice!!!
