On Wednesday, April 24, the 43-foot tall sculpture of the Golden Spike will be on display at Wells City Park, as part of a community event. During the 4:00-6:00 PM event, the Golden Spike Foundation would love to share the story of the Spike monument’s creation and journey.
The Golden Spike National Historic Site commemorates the joining of the western and eastern tracks at Promontory Summit and the history of the workers who built the first transcontinental railroad. Constructed between 1863 and 1869, the first transcontinental railroad created a revolutionary transcontinental transportation network and became one of the technological feats of the 19th century with the driving of the last spike at Promontory Summit that opened it to traffic on May 10, 1869.
Today, on the occasion of Earth Day, Monday, April 22nd, the 3rd-6th grade classes of Wells Elementary took a walk around campus and cleaned up a lot of trash and other items. We appreciate and applaud the efforts of our students for showing pride in our school and celebrating Earth Day. Thank you, students!

Get in the Act delivered their innovative Science Theater Program to
second, third and fourth-grade students at Wells Elementary School on
April 15-16, 2024. Get in the Act adds the Arts to S.T.E.M. learning -
transforming S.T.E.M. to S.T.E.A.M. - with their hands-on theater
framework serving as a pathway to science for students.
Led by Teaching Artist Diane Handzel, students used dynamic theater
techniques as a learning structure to examine rocks, soil and minerals
concepts. Using all their senses in the learning process, students
dramatized science concepts in scenes with their peers, quickly
connecting these concepts to their everyday world. Because students have
a memorable experience acting-out these scenes, they can learn the art
and science content associated with these scenes.
Get in the Act would like to thank Komatsu Mining Foundation, Nevada
Gold Mines, Kinross Gold, Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment
for the Arts for supporting Science Theater at Wells Elementary.
Also, a special thank you to Principal Woolsey, Cuca Rodriguez and to
the classroom teachers for being wonderful and supportive partners.
Get in the Act is a 501(c)3 organization based in Stagecoach, Nevada and
their Science Theater Program has served over 30,000 students since
2009. They can be reached at email: info@getintheact.org
