Washington School News!
We completed our Neenah Rocket/Washington School apparel order last week. For those that ordered, we anticipate delivery the week of December 17th. We will keep you posted as this date approaches. Please call the office with any questions.
We are in need of donations for our Washington School clothing closet. If you have some gently used children's clothing that you would be willing to donate, we greatly appreciate keeping our clothing closet well-stocked for those unpredictable situations.
Please keep an eye on the sidewalks and parking lot for slippery spots! Our district grounds crew, and our wonderful custodian Dzenita, do their best to keep things cleared and salted but it can be difficult to keep up with every ice patch. If you see an area that could use some attention, please let a staff member know.
Thank you!
Ms. Stacie Brethouwer
Principal
