On Tuesday, October 25 we are having a District Wide College and Career Awareness Day! We’re asking families to have your child(ren) wear a shirt to school that represents a college or career field (skilled trade). On this day, teachers will take time to engage students in discussions about colleges and careers. (photo of Mr. VanRemmen, Principal and Mr. Fant, Teacher, 2021.)

Trick or Trash
Wilkshire students are working hard to help our environment through the National Wildlife Federation's "Trick or Trash" program. Our school is collecting all kinds of candy wrappers to be recycled. Our goal is to fill this box to the very top with candy wrappers! We will be collecting wrappers until Friday November 4th. Please send them to school with your child in a ziploc bag. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Barrett at barretna@haslett.k12.mi.us. Thank you!

Lost, Please Find

Check out our lost and found table. It's full of clothes, hats and water bottles! Please take a minute to stop into the school and take look! Please note, we donate all unclaimed items during our Winter Break, which begins at 4pm on Friday, December 16.
