With a new school, comes new logos, and team names. The new team names for Washburn Rural North have officially been decided.
6th grade: Mavericks and Surge (logo for Surge coming soon)
7th grade: Visionaries and Regulators
8th grade: Elite and HEAT
One team from eighth grade which will stay the same is the HEAT team. Current HEAT team teacher Mrs. Hundley said they wanted to keep their name the same. “Well, since the HEAT team is staying together, we decided to just keep the team name,” she said.
The two seventh grade teams will consist of both new and former teachers. Seventh grade Eclipse teacher Mrs. Jones said “Our team name is The Visionaries. We started out with our team of teachers just brainstorming different names. I think the majority of us just used google to look up different team names. After that, we had a meeting where we continuously narrowed down our favorites. We finally landed on Visionaries and agreed as a team that we liked that name. We chose the Visionaries because we really liked the meaning of the name and how the name really aligned with our values as teachers and as a team.”
Starting something new can feel exciting, overwhelming, or both, but you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. This is the beginning of a journey full of learning, discovery, and growth. You don’t have to have all the answers right away. Be curious. Ask questions. Make mistakes. That’s how real learning happens.
