PAW PRINTS

Dear Winfield Families,

We had a great Kindness Week at school. Thank you to Mrs. Williams for coordinating the activities. Please don't forget our Kindness Food Drive for the Winfield Food Pantry will run through February 25th. Donations may be sent to the school office.

All schools are closed on Monday in observance of President's Day. School resumes at 9:05 am on Tuesday. Enjoy your additional day of family time!

Thank you for your partnership in education,

Mrs. Alonzo & Mrs. Hall

Just a reminder that donations for this year's "Kids Heart Challenge" can be turned in from now until February 28th. Checks should be made payable to the American Heart Association. All students will participate but it is not required for students to make donations. If you would like more information regarding our event or to register, please follow the link below. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Hedl at 663-2287 or jhedl@cps.k12.in.us

Your link to order is: https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/77167VA

Parents may order through March 13, 2023 at 11:59 pm, with NO EXCEPTIONS. Interstate will ONLY photograph buyers and parents will have to exclusively order online.

All 2022-2023 school fees are now past due. Remaining balances will be sent to collections in March 2023. Payments may be made on RDS Parent Access (electronic) or in the school office (cash/check). Please contact the School Treasurer, Mrs. Griffith, with any questions.

Please send in extra clothing (pants, underwear, shirt) for your child to keep in their locker/cubby. I do not have all sizes of clothing at school to provide for your child if an accident happens that soils their clothing. We have had many children falling in the mud at recess lately! If they don’t have a change of clothes here, and I don’t have their size available to change into, I will have to call home to have something brought in, or they will have to remain in their soiled clothing the rest of the day. I am running low on all leggings/joggers, so please wash and send them back if your child has needed to borrow any. I will definitely take any donated joggers for boys, or leggings for girls from sizes 5-10. Thanks so much!
