What a Great Night at Barnes and Nobles
Last night was so much fun. Thank you all for coming and supporting our school at Barnes and Nobles Book Store. Christine Stawnyczy and all her helpers ran this big event. Many thanks, also to Mrs. Thompson and the wonderful WB Choir who entertained a full audience in the coffee shop with holiday songs. Thanks also to our great teachers who read their favorite books.
More Thanks... to our WB Santas
Many thanks to all PTO volunteers who worked at Santa Shoppe. I know the children love to have the opportunity to buy presents for their family. We would not be able to offer them this service unless parents ordered all the presents, set up the shop, and helped the kids with purchases. Again, thank you to everyone who gave their time.
Parking
Please do not double park or leave your car unattended in the pick up lanes.

To receive an e-mail when a teacher has posted a newsletter on this website, send an e-mail here. (Please include the name of your child and child's teacher.)

Ice Cream Fridays
When: Every other Friday
Cost: $1.00 for ice cream, $.50 for popsicles
Why: To earn money for field trips, extra supplies, books, and anything else that helps children.
Mrs. Kaminski and Mrs. Hausfeld, our library teacher and teacher assistant have told me that there are many books that are coming back with very wet pages. When that happens, the books cannot always be saved. Please be sure that you keep all your library books in a safe area at home and at school.
Character Counts: Trait of the Month: Caring

Send pictures to Diane for the yearbook
As I walked around during our Harvest Day parties, I saw many of you taking a plethora of photos. We really need you to share all those memories with our yearbook crew. Just send them to Diane Sheeks by e-mailing them to her at sheeksfamily88@sbcglobal.net. (For those of you who may not know exactly how to download your pictures and attach them to an e-mail, please stop in and we'll either schedule a time for you to get some lessons from one of our staff members or, if Mrs. Kaminski is available in the library, I
know she would be glad to offer her assistance.)
