The Puma Pride
Week of April 1, 2019
Message from the Principal
Hello Willow Dale Families!
Happy April! March was quite a busy month and April is sure to be equally full of learning and educational opportunities. This past Thursday Willow Dale Home and School hosted a very successful family event. Over nine hundred fans were in attendance at the Harlem Wizards versus the Dunkin’ Dales basketball,game. Our students and families enjoyed a fun filled night. A special thank you goes out to Jen Taylor, our parent volunteers, staff volunteers, players, cheerleaders, students, Puma Ambassadors, high school NHS students, and families for their dedication and part in creating wonderful memories for the school community.
Many of our students have been participating in after school activities and clubs. Willow Dale is fortunate to have staff and students who have a great passion for learning. Students can be found in our Science club, Girls Who Code club, Reading Olympics, Drama club, Art club, Garden club, chorus, band, and orchestra. Wish our Reading Olympian’s luck as they compete with other schools on Thursday.
April 4 is the end of the third marking period. Students will have a half day on April 5, which will be an in-service day for teachers. Report cards will be distributed on April 10 in the Wednesday Express folder.
Mark your calendars for the Willow Dale Open House and Young Authors Night on April 11. Look for information from your child’s teacher and in the Wednesday Express.
The Lost and Found bins are overflowing! If your child is missing an item, please consider taking a few minutes to stop in the cafeteria to check out the table. You may find your child’s missing item there. All unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the month.
All the best for a great week!
