Good afternoon, Wells Elementary Community,
The Nevada State Treasurer’s Office has invited our school to participate in a new initiative that celebrates student attendance and supports future college savings! Each month, they will award three students across Nevada in Pre-K through 5th grade who have achieved perfect attendance with a $529 College Savings Plan.
There is no cost to participate, and it’s a great way to:
Encourage consistent attendance
Reward students for their commitment
Introduce families to the value of saving early for education
Please encourage your student/students to attend school so they can be eligible for the College Savings Plan.

❤️Support the Field of Flags Project❤️
We invite you to be part of honoring our veterans by donating to help create a Field of Flags in front of our school.
Many members of our community have served our country with courage and sacrifice. For Ms. H, this project is personal—her father served in the Vietnam Conflict. Though he returned home without visible injuries, he was later affected by chemical exposure that took his life. As Ms. H shares:
“I am proud to be able to donate to the Disabled American Veterans Association (DAV) in honor of him and those who serve in our armed forces so we can enjoy the freedoms we have. It is an honor to be able to help those who have given so much, even my dad.”
✨ For every $250 donated, we will receive 24 flags to display.
🎯 Our goal: $750 in donations to proudly honor the veterans of our school, families, and community.

❤️🤍💙Thank you for supporting our veterans!❤️🤍💙

Football Recap: Wells Piles Up the Points Against Owyhee
Football Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Owyhee Braves
By Team Reports
Sep 22, 2025, 2:47 pm
The third road matchup was the charm for Wells, as they earned their first away victory of the season. They blew past the Owyhee Braves, posting a 47-0 win. The Leopards have beaten the Braves the last five times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Braves have come to flipping the script.
Leading Wells to victory were Gage Uhlig and Justice Nelson. Uhlig picked up 80 receiving yards and one score, while Nelson picked up 66 receiving yards and one TD. Uhlig's longest reception was for an incredible 80 yards.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Wells, adding 13 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Joe Dahl, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Wells picked up their first road victory, bumping their record up to 2-3. As for Owyhee, their loss dropped their record down to 0-2.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Wells will take on rival Eureka at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
