Director's Message
We have some great events planned the rest of this fall semester!
- Grandparents Day (Tuesday, 11/19) We will start the morning with chapel at 8:45 AM and then grandparents will go their grandchild’s classroom for light refreshments and to check out the rooms. We will be mailing out invites over the next week or so!
- WDS will have a Noon Dismissal on Wednesday, 11/27 and then will be closed Thursday (11/28) and Friday (11/29) for Thanksgiving!
- One of my favorite events of the year is Santa Breakfast on Saturday, 12/7! Come enjoy a yummy hot breakfast prepared by WUMC Men’s Group and served by WDS Staff! Students also get to take a picture with Santa (through Southern Smiles)!
- Santa’s Workshop will be the week of December 9th! Parents fill out a “who to buy for” shopping list and students get to shop for their loved ones! It makes opening presents on Christmas morning extra special. Presents are wrapped by WDS staff and volunteers.
- To celebrate the season, we will have our 2’s & 3’s Christmas Chapel on Tuesday, 12/17 at 8:45 AM. After chapel, we will have light refreshments in your child’s classroom! The Pre-K & K classes will also be putting on a Christmas Play on Thursday, 12/19 at 5:00 PM! Milk and cookies will follow the play in the cafeteria!
- WDS will be closed Monday, December 23rd – Wednesday, January 1st for Christmas Break!
Fall is always a busy time for WDS and our families but we hope you will be able to join in on some of the fun! Let me know if you have any questions about the above events!
