The Westmoreland Wrap Up
November 18, 2022
Our monthly focus...Gratitude
This week, we wrote and sent gratitude grams to others. Each recipient smiled and felt extra love. Even Poppy received a few gratitude grams! This truly proves the power of our words! This week during parent teacher conferences, parents wrote some gratitude grams to leave for their student (s). If you did not make it in to school for in-person conferences, the grams have been attached below. Sending gratitude grams will continue throughout next week. Feel free to send one in for your child!
As we move toward the week of Thanksgiving, disguised turkeys and messages of what we are thankful for line our hallways and surround us. We hope you enjoy a small glimpse of these sweet messages, drawings and creative works of art.
Wishing all of our families a very special and Happy Thanksgiving!
Donations, Drives and Collections!
As a result of our annual World Cerealies, we have collected 88 boxes of cereal for the Fair Lawn food pantry! We will be collecting Thanksgiving items like stuffing, canned vegetables and instant mashed potatoes until Wednesday, November 23rd to help Miss Dunleavy and her family prepare hundreds of meals at a soup kitchen in Harlem, NY on Thanksgiving Day.
Our small, but mighty school, is filled with kindness and compassion and we are always finding ways to help others!
Our Good Will Ambassadors will be running a band aid drive in the near future-collecting fun and funky band-aid designs for the children's cancer ward at Hackensack Hospital. Stay tuned for details on this winter project!
