Dear Willink Families,
It is hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is here! It looks like the weather forecast will be nice enough for a cookout or two as well as all the usual Memorial Day activities such as gardening and attending a parade. If you have never taken the chance to attend the Memorial Day activities in Waterloo New York, I would encourage you to do so. In case you didn’t know, Waterloo is the birthplace of Memorial Day. The village of Waterloo decided to dedicate a day to honor the men and women they lost during the US Civil War. Waterloo celebrated the first Memorial Day on May 5th, 1866 and this set a trend for the rest of the nation. In 1966, Congress declared Waterloo as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. If you can’t make it to Waterloo, Webster will be celebrating Memorial Day with a parade at 9:30 on Monday. Either way, I hope you and your family take a moment to remember all those who have given their life in defense of our country.
Friday, June 1 is our 8th grade Luau. This is a very special night for our 8th grade students. Many exciting activities are planned along with dinner, dessert, and a bonfire! Make sure your 8th grade student purchases their ticket Tuesday.
We are now entering the final stretch of the school year. Sports are ending, concerts are ending, and students might start thinking a bit too much about summer. Please keep following their progress on the student/parent portal and make sure they are finishing strong. We are doing the same thing here. If you notice your child slipping, please reach out to that teacher or your child’s counselor to get your child back on track.
Enjoy this beautiful Memorial Day weekend!
Jim
