Winters' Wildcat News
A Title 1 Community School ~ Special Edition
All K - 12 Schools and Daycares Will Be Closed Beginning Monday, March 16th - March 20th
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Gov. Gina Raimondo announced Sunday that school districts are working on plans to provide free meals to students during next week’s coronavirus-related school closure, as she warned Rhode Islanders that “very radical measures” are needed to control the outbreak.
“If you remember nothing else about this press conference: stay home,” Raimondo said during her daily news briefing on the pandemic, held Sunday at the R.I. Emergency Management Agency.
“It’s not just about you,” she said. “It’s about keeping the rest of Rhode Island safe. And alive.”
Breakfast and Lunch Available to Pawtucket Students Beginning Tuesday, 3/17/2020

What Do We Do With All This Time
Students are used to a structured school day. Here are some ideas to keep them busy and actively engaged with learning activities.
Online Learning Opportunities
Facebook Live Offerings
While the Cincinnati Zoo is closed and kids are home from school, let us help make your children’s hiatus from school fun and educational. Join us for a Home Safari Facebook Live each weekday at 3pm where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home. Join us starting Monday, March 16 at 3pm for our first Home Safari- featuring Fiona!
Dan Gutman ~ Children's Author
BE THERE. Facebook Live. Today. 2pm E.S.T. These are weird times because of the coronavirus, so we gotta try weird stuff. I’ll be reading from my new book “Miss Blake Is a Flake!” I’ve never done FB Live before and I’m nervous. I hope it works out. After it’s over, let me know what you think. And spread the word, not the virus!
Atlantic White Shark Conservatory
Join us on Facebook Live every day this week at 10AM (EST) for Shark Story Hour. Each day we will be reading a new shark themed book followed by a shark Q/A session.
School Happenings!
