Congratulations to Karely for participating in the 1st ever SkillsUSA National Signing Day at Wells High School!
National Signing Day recognizes graduating seniors who are committing to careers in the skilled trades and technical fields — similar to an athletic signing, but focused on workforce and career education opportunities.
Karely proudly signed her letter of intent with Southwestern Oregon Community College to pursue a degree in Criminology. We are proud of her hard work and excited to see all she accomplishes in the future.
Way to go, Karely!

Wells Combined School is excited about our new lawn mower! Now Ricardo can keep our school grounds looking extra sharp and beautiful for our students, staff, and community. 🧡🖤
Please help us recognize and honor our amazing school nurse, Nurse Manning! She goes above and beyond every single day to care for our students with kindness, compassion, and dedication.
Whether it’s helping students feel better or making sure everyone is safe and healthy, Nurse Manning always puts our kids first. She even took time to “save” an injured worm found on the playground by carefully bandaging it for a very concerned student — a perfect example of the care and heart she shows to everyone and everything around her. 🩺🧡🪱
Thank you, Nurse Manning, for all you do for Wells schools. We appreciate you more than words can say!

🦋 From Tiny Crawlers to Painted Ladies: Our Classroom Metamorphosis!
Mrs. Berumen is so excited to share some "fluttering" news from her EL classroom! Over the last few weeks, her students have been moonlighting as amateur entomologists as they explored the incredible life cycle of the butterfly.
It’s been a joy to watch their faces light up every morning as they rush to the observation tank to see what had changed overnight. Here is a look at the journey they took together.
They will be releasing them Thurday afternnon, weather permitting.

Are you a parent trying to make sense of the endless vaping and nicotine products advertised at gas stations, convenience stores, smoke shops, online, etc. right now? You are not alone.
The way nicotine is packaged and targeted to consumers including youth is changing. Beyond vapes, products like nicotine pouches are marketed as “clean” and easy to use. They are often framed as a lifestyle or performance boost, frequently amplified by influencers who make the product seem harmless. What's more, they continue to come in appealing flavors, colors and clever modes like "smart vapes," to further entice youth.
We’re hosting a virtual session to break it down clearly and practically: the signs to look for if you are concerned your youth might be vaping or using nicotine and practical strategies to support you and your youth.
Join us Thursday, May 21 at 6:00 pm ET
Hooked in New Ways: What Parents Need to Know About Youth Nicotine Use

This session is especially designed for parents who are newer to these conversations or just beginning to learn what to look for.
We’ll cover:
· What products like nicotine pouches are and how they’re used
· How marketing and social media are shaping what kids see
· Signs to watch for and how these products can show up in daily life
· Simple ways to start conversations and take action
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s changing and how to help protect your child.
Free registration includes access to the recording!

Baseball Recap: Wells Triumphs
Baseball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Mineral County Serpents
By Team Reports
Apr 27, 2026, 11:59 am
Wells won the last time they faced Mineral County and things went their way on Friday too. The Leopards came out on top against the Serpents by a score of 7-4. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Leopards.
Charley Peterson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, Luis Garcia was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Gage Uhlig, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Wells' win bumped their record up to 18-8. As for Mineral County, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-5.
Wells didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 16-1 victory against Virginia City on the 25th.
