Today, Wapakoneta Elementary School held its annual Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser Kick-Off Assembly, marking over a decade of dedicated support for the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). The event featured the much-anticipated relay races, where students enthusiastically cheered for their favorite staff members competing in friendly competition.
Over the past ten years, WES has demonstrated a strong commitment to RMHC, raising significant funds to support families in need. In the previous school year alone, the school community raised an impressive $19,000 for the charity. This year, WES aims to surpass that amount, continuing their tradition of generosity and community service.
The kick-off assembly not only sets the stage for the upcoming final fundraising drive but also fosters a sense of unity and purpose among students and staff. Through events like these, WES instills the values of empathy and social responsibility in its students, encouraging them to make a positive impact in their community.

“You’ve shaped my future in ways I’ll never forget,” Katie shared in her nomination.
Thank you, Mr. Friemering, for your passion, your energy, and the difference you’ve made in the lives of your students.

🎉 Please help us welcome Emma Rex to the Wapakoneta City Schools staff! Emma will join the Cridersville Elementary team next school year, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her back in the district where it all began.
Emma graduated from Xavier University with her undergraduate degree in Primary Education in December 2023. She continued at Xavier to earn her M.Ed. in TESOL while working full time in campus ministry, graduating in December 2024. She will also receive her Reading Endorsement in May 2025!
Emma is an avid runner currently training for her seventh and eighth half marathons! 🏃♀️💨
When asked about joining WCS, Emma shared:
✨ “I am so excited to be a part of WCS because it played such a significant role in shaping me into the person I have become. Without the foundation of Cridersville first, followed by the rest of my years as a WCS student, I would have a much smaller view of what it means to be a part of a community that values one another and seeks to serve. I am honored to start my teaching career within the same walls that my passion for teaching began.”
Welcome home, Emma! ❤️
Eighth Grade hits the Track running tonight at 5!
Head over to the field to see our Varsity Softball team take on Spencerville at 5pm tonight!
