Friendly reminder that there is No School on Monday as it is a staff development day in the district. If you're looking for something to do, EFW has a bowling day on Monday @ Bowlero from 11:00am-5:00pm, $5 per person for 2 hours of bowling and shoes.
Thank you to everyone that has brought in their Box Tops thus far. We have already collected more this Spring than in the Fall. Last day for drop off to be included in the Spring submission is Wednesday, February 20th . We will gladly collect box tops all year, but there are only two dates, October and March, that box tops accepts them and pays schools out. Check your cupboards and pantry! You can clip from hundreds of participating products (see link below.) Drop off is in school lobby in front of office. Our goal is to raise as much as we can via box tops to continue to be able to purchase an All School Read book for each family, every school year. www.BTFE.com/Products
WMS’s First Annual Volunteer Maker Faire is quickly approaching. It will take place on Thursday, March 14th 2019 from 5:30-7:30pm in the WMS gym/art room and WMS students of all ages and their families are invited. Come volunteer as a family and make different service projects that will give back to social service/non-profit agencies in our community! Our AP students will be providing a meal for when you’ve worked up an appetite! Click here to see a list of planned activities!
Last week Dr. Ertl emailed families regarding how schools will be making up instructional time from the cancelled days of school as a result of Winter Storm Warnings resulting in significant snow and near-record cold. The adjustments to our school calendar to ensure the District meets the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) required hours of instruction at the elementary level are as follows:
- All students will have school on March 15 (previously scheduled as a No School Professional Learning Day) and May 24 (already scheduled as an inclement weather make-up day).
Last but not least, Save the Date! The PTSA 2019 Spring Fling fundraiser will be on April 13 from 7-11 pm.
Have a great weekend,
Ms. Imperiale
Principal

The deadline for Music Registration for Band (5th grade +), Choir (3rd grade+), and Orchestra (4th grade +) for next school year has been extended to next Friday, February 22nd. This is due to the additional snow day this week as well as the cold weather days that affected when some schools were able to hold the demonstration.
