Waverly Avenue Elementary School’s first grade students from Mrs. LaPolla’s, Mrs. Mayola’s and Mrs. Weston’s classes recently took the stage for a vibrant performance of “A Happy Healthy Me.” The production highlighted important lessons about staying active, eating well and taking care of oneself through music and movement.

Students began preparing for the show in January during their weekly music classes with Ms. Holmes, where they learned lines, songs and choreography. Their hard work culminated in a high-energy performance filled with memorable singing, dancing and meaningful messages.

The stage was filled with enthusiasm, bright smiles and a contagious sense of joy as the young performers brought their story to life. The event was a celebration of both their creativity and the healthy habits they shared with the audience.

In honor of Police Appreciation Week, Waverly Elementary welcomed local police officers into classrooms to read books to students from UPK through fifth grade. This cherished tradition, now in its third year, is part of the school’s ongoing effort to celebrate and connect with community first responders.

The event serves as a warm lead-in to Waverly’s upcoming Police/First Responder “Thank You” Breakfast and Parade, and offers students a unique opportunity to engage with local heroes in a fun and meaningful way. Not only does it build positive relationships, but it also supports the school’s mission to foster a lifelong love of reading.

Waverly Elementary School hosted an Autism Acceptance event centered around education, empathy and inclusion. The day began with a brief presentation in the cafeteria, where students gathered to learn about autism and the importance of understanding and celebrating differences.

Following the presentation, students participated in an interactive walk featuring a series of sensory activity stations. These hands-on experiences were designed to help students better understand sensory processing and how it can vary for individuals on the autism spectrum.

The event was inspired by the book “My Brother Otto,” which was read to all classes before spring break. The story served as a thoughtful introduction to the themes of acceptance and friendship, setting the tone for a meaningful and engaging experience for all.

Waverly’s Autism Acceptance event highlighted the school’s commitment to fostering a compassionate and inclusive environment where every student feels seen, heard and valued.
