Happy Spring Break!
Whatever your plans are over break, I hope you find lots of time with family and friends. Spring Break is tomorrow, April 14 through April 23. School resumes on Monday, April 24.
Timberwolf Trot Update
Now that Spring Break is here, it’s no time to stop gathering donations for the Timberwolf Trot on April 28th!! Make sure that you have signed up online to collect pledges! Go to www.thegetmovincrew.com and click on “Get Registered”. Select Washington Elementary for the school and follow the steps. Once you are registered, be sure to share your personal fundraising page via email and social media! Remember that you can still collect cash or check pledges in the envelope sent home. There are still a lot of amazing incentives that will be given away so collect those pledges.
When the whole school works together as a team everyone WINS! If we reach our overall school goal of $17,000, Mr Russell and Teachers will sleep on the ROOF of the school.
We would like to make a shout out to thank the local businesses who generously donated to our pack of Timberwolves. Tosa Pediatrics has been involved with this fundraiser since it began. They've provided monetary sponsorship for all five runs. I'd also like to thank BeSpectacled who had a record turn around to our sponsorship request-less than one hour- WOW! New this year, is Firefly Realty. They love Tosa schools and it shows. Thank you to our sponsors. Look for links to these businesses on our website: thegetmovincrew.com.

Science & Engineering Day - Grades 3-5th
On Thursday, May 4th we are welcoming the Longfellow Middle School STEM students for our first Science & Engineering Day. The purpose behind this day is to celebrate science and engineering (STEM), support 21st century thinking, build connections across schools, and have students participate in student created design challenges. In the future, we hope to include all grades, but just our 3rd through 5th graders will participate this year. More information to come!
