PTO Sponsored Assembly on 2/15 (for students)
Thank you to the PTO for sponsoring the UPCOMING 2/15 Assembly!
The assembly is called Learn, Laugh, & Let Go. It’s an interactive health, wellness and stress relief show by Robert Rivest. Robert takes a humorous look at modern day stress and what we can do about it. Using mime, comedy, insight, and interaction Robert offers both "comic relief" and practical stress relieving techniques.

2/14: The Kids Heart Challenge ( Formerly Jump Rope For Heart). The event is during the students' special time during the day. For your child's time, see Mr. Yarosewick's letter attached in last week's communication.
Mr.Yarosewick will be discussing the Kids Heart Challenge with the students in PE class. For our new families, Mr.Yarosewick teaches the students skills that relate to jumping rope. Then, we as a school, jump rope together and fund raise for the American Heart Association.
Pending no crazy snowstorms that limit our parking further, parents are welcome to attend the event during your child's special time. If interested, we ask that you email Ms. Ryan, dryan@wcasd.net , by 2/4 if you will be attending. By 2/8, she will email you information about parking and check-in procedures for the event. As you are aware, having many people in the building at once is challenging due to parking constraints and office congestion and distractions. For those reasons, we are unable to accommodate visitors without a RSVP in advance. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

2/18 School is Closed . PTO is sponsoring an Ice Skating Social at Ice Line. Please go to My School Anywhere to see details (see link below).
