BULLDOG DANCE FIT EVENT & 80s DRESS DAY
We're in our FINAL week of our Bulldog Dance Fit Fundraiser and we want to thank our school community for all your support! Our goal is to raise $30,000 for technology updates, teacher appreciation & professional development, and student learning resources! We are well on our way to reaching our goal, so please continue to seek pledges for your child by sharing your donation link with family and friends!
Our BULLDOG DANCE FIT EVENT is THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 5th! Students and staff are invited to wear a school-appropriate 80s-inspired outfit to school that day! We're going to have a BLAST!

Read Across America Week
It's Read Across America Week in Bulldog Nation! NEA’s Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. It focuses on motivating children and teens to read. The titles featured in Read Across America include books that students can see themselves reflected in, as well as books that allow readers to see a world or a character that might be different than them. Here at WT Lewis we will be celebrating the power of reading all month long with special prizes and giveaways, student and staff book recommendations, a Get Caught Reading Challenge, and special library displays and activities.
Calling all Kindergarteners and First Graders! It's Curl Up and Read Day at WT Lewis! Celebrate Read Across America with us from March 1-4, 2021. On your child's library day, send your child with their favorite stuffed reading buddy and bring in a beach towel to curl up and read during library time. Students who have library class on Friday, March 5th will be participating in our 80s Dance Day Fit Event, so their celebration will be next Friday, on March 12, 2021!
