Wu Jiaju,  a PhD student in the psychology program at the University of Iowa, has visited our classrooms in Wellman several times this school year, including last week.  

Mr. Wu is job shadowing Sally Hartman, a school psychologist from the Grant Wood Area Education Association.  Our students asked him many questions about his life in China and as a result, learned a great deal about Chinese culture.  We also played fruits and vegetables bingo games.

We hope to have Mr. Wu back again soon!

International Night

Mid-Prairie celebrated "International Night" November 12 at Washington Township.  More than 100 students and parents from around the district attended, and 8 to 10 exchange students from around the world!

It was a great night for learning about other countries and cultures, and for making new friends!
