EARLY CHILDCARE ADDITION TO STEWART ELEMENTARY

It was a pleasure to hear WOWIE board member, Debbie Stanton and Stewart Elementary principal, Adam Miller present about the proposed expansion of Stewart Elementary to include new preschool and early childhood classrooms.

The School District would operate 4 of the new preschool classrooms and the other 2 by partner preschool programs. The early childhood classroom would be operated by the Washington YMCA.

The WOWIE (Women Of Washington Iowa Endowment) has made a significant donation to the School District toward the project.

There will be a referendum on Tuesday, June 30, by the School District for bonding for $2.3 million to complete the expansion project.
