Tiger Talk
03/14/23
You are cordially invited....
....to join me for an evening chat on Thursday, March 23, at 6 pm and/or a morning coffee on Friday, March 24, at 8 am (immediately following our morning pep rally in the gym.) We'll meet in the Tiger's Den (aka school cafeteria.)
While we're together, I'll show you how we follow your Tiger's learning, discuss the STAAR, and explore ways that we can work together to help our Tigers be successful learners.
I hope that you can make either, or both, events. I look forward to meeting with you and answering any questions that you may have.
With warmest regards,
Amy Russ, Principal
WCHE Field Day Was a HUGE Success!
Thank you to all of our fabulous parent and student volunteers and WCHE staff members who made this year's Field Day such a HUGE success!!! Congratulations to all of our winners! And, congratulations and many thanks to Coach Washington, Coach Clements, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Seidenberger, and Ms. Nowrocki for creating the BEST FIELD DAY EVER!!!!!
Help WCHE to Win the Challenge!
Everyone who recycles is a winner in our book!
However, thanks to HEB, Tigers also have an opportunity to be winners in a more tangible way. Between March 6 and April 14, we are participating in the HEB Earth Day Recycling Challenge so that we can win even more than the satisfaction of being good citizens of planet earth.
For this challenge, we are collecting plastic retail shopping bags, bread bags, dry cleaning bags, and newspaper bags March 6 through April 14. All Tigers are invited to drop off their bags in the HEB recycling bin that will be placed in our front lobby.
Participating schools will be rewarded with a $150 gift card for an Earth Day Celebration! The top 3 schools with the highest number of recycled bags will win another gift card. 1st place wins a $500 gift card. 2nd place wins a $350 card, and 3rd place wins a $250 card.
Tigers, bring us your bags!!!!! Help WCHE to win the challenge!
