DARE Graduation:
On Thursday, May 7 at 1:00pm, please join us as we recognize the 5th and 6th grade students that successfully completed the DARE program. Officer Mora and officials from Trenton and New Baden will be present to recognize the students on this milestone. The ceremony is open to the public and light refreshments will be served in the Middle School cafeteria following the program.
Jr. Warriors Football:
Attention all current 4th - 7th graders. Jr. Warriors Football Signups are on-going through the Jr.
Warriors Facebook page and GroupMe. Any student who is interested in Jr. Warriors football can
write their name down in the office and Coach Hollenkamp will share the appropriate information
with those individuals.
Coffee Truck:
The end of the year is drawing near. To celebrate we are having the Sip & Scoot mobile cafe here in our south parking lot on Wednesday, May 20th. They will be selling drinks to staff and families from 7:00-8:30. They will have coffee, espressos, lemonade, and smoothies for sale. If you would like to sponsor a teacher for $5, please pay Jenni in the office or Venmo Mrs. Emig at @Nikki-Emig. Your $5 will buy a teacher a drink of their choice to help celebrate an awesome school year. This is also a fantastic way to support a local business as the owner of the truck is a former Wesclin graduate!
Wesclin Athletic Boosters Golf Scramble:
The 3rd Annual Wesclin Athletic Boosters Golf Scramble is back on Sunday, August 9, 2026 at Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course, and registration is officially OPEN! Come out and enjoy a day of:
