MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The Staff at Waller School would like to wish all of our students and their families a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
We hope that everyone can enjoy some relaxing time with family and friends, and ring the New Year in with hopes that it is your best one yet!
We would also like to send a Special Thank You out to so many of you parents for all of the treats you have sent to the Waller Staff this week! We are so lucky to be part of your child's lives, as well as yours! What a special school family we have!
There are no special events the week that we come back to school, so the Newsletter is short, with the exception of all of the fun pictures we would like to share!
See you in 2024!
KAZOOS ~
Mrs. Barczak and Waller's 1st & 2nd graders would like to thank the PTO for purchasing the kazoos for their upcoming Winter Concert scheduled on January 11th. The kids are excited and love being able to play them!
ATTENTION 1ST & 2ND GRADE PARENTS ~
Mrs. Barczak is in search of artwork for the January 11th winter concert. The title of the concert is "The Big Storm" and is about the big snowstorm of 1881 in Wisconsin. Artwork submissions are due on January 5th. Thank You!
