Nearly 1,500 fifth grade students from 15 districts in
Region 16 attended the WOWW Science Collaborative
at the Globe-News Center last fall.
Children had the opportunity to learn from exhibits

EC
and programs by Palo Duro Canyon State Park, XCEL
OLLABO
Energy, West Texas A&M University’s Alternate Energy Institute, B&W Pantex, and
the Ag Science Department of WTAMU. Meeting the 5th grade science curriculum, this program’s focus
was on geology, water and erosion, wind energy, matter, chemistry, soil and dust, and electricity. A new and
successful addition to the program was ‘Emily & Eric’s E Adventure’, written exclusively for the WOWW
Science Collaborative by Royal Brantley, head of
Art, Theatre and Dance at WTAMU. WOWW will
offer this program again for the fall of 2010 for all
Region 16 fifth graders.
Together we can successfully provide alternative
ways of teaching and learning, making life-long
connections for every student, and better prepare
our children for tomorrow in an increasingly challenging world.

Color in Freedom: Journey alonG the underGround railroad
Texas children’s author, musician and storyteller,
Rooster Morris came to the Globe-News Center
November 2-3 and brought the intriguing and
compelling stories of Axle Galench and his journey
into the land of Bedlam!
Student volunteers had the opportunity to perform
some of the Axle Galench songs with Rooster on
stage. Rooster emphasized the importance of
making reading and writing an everyday habit.
Amarillo Museum of Art offered a museum exhibition
experience of Joseph Holston’s Color in Freedom: Journey
Along the Underground Railroad. Lefors ISD students
were one of several WOWW schools to take the tour
which provided a TEKS aligned program. WOWW
Representative Kay Crouch, Pampa, extended this tour
back in the classroom with an art activity to bring
enrichment to the experience. The beautiful creative
artwork is now hanging in the offices of WOWW at
the Globe-News Center.

Amarillo Zoo is a new partner organization
with WOWW this year. Mike Boley, Visitors
Service Coordinator at Amarillo Zoo, begins
a Zoorific Tour: Claws & Jaws near the lion’s
den with 4th graders. Students learned
about unique behaviors, adaptations and
classifications of many native and exotic
species of wildlife.
WOWW Representative, Jane Stollings (lower right), introduces
principals and teachers in Perryton ISD to programs in the

An invitation was extended to all WOWW schools for
participation in a first-annual Christmas Wreath Project.
Showcasing cultural diversity in the Texas Panhandle, schools
decorated wreaths that hung in the Joseph & Arlene Pool Grand
Lobby of the Globe-News Center the month of December.
Thousands of students attended events during December and
many schools came for a ‘tour of the wreaths’ that adorned the
color curtain windows.
WOWW appreciates the generosity of businesses in the
Texas Panhandle that sponsored the Christmas Wreath Project.
