The Wilmot Word: 11-4-22
Calendar Alert Next Week!
Please note that there is NOT SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 8th due to Election Day (a State of Illinois holiday for schools) and there IS SCHOOL next Friday, November 11th. This is a change from previous years where we may have had Veterans Day off because the state had not mandated that Election Day was a non-attendance day.
What a Week at Wilmot
We also enjoyed giving back to our community through our annual Bernie's Book Bank book collection. It feels good to donate books to children who do not have access to books. Students also enjoyed sharing their Halloween candy which will be donated to children in foster care through Fill a Heart 4 Kids.
I am also so excited to share that our students have earned their first all-school reward for following our PAWS principles (Practice Respect, Act Responsibly, Work Together and Stay Safe). On Wednesday we are having an all-school Pajama Party. Students may wear appropriate pajamas to school and will have a short movie/PJ party. Students may bring a small stuffed animal to school
