WSES Spirit Night - Sept. 26
Hey parents, mark your calendars for our next Spirit Night, which will be held at the Chipotle on Main Street in downtown Fuquay Varina on Tuesday September 26, from 5 to 9pm. You get a night off from cooking dinner, and help earn money for our school in the process, it's a win-win! A flyer will be coming home next week. You can also show it on your phone or tell the cashier. A copy is on our website.
Early Release is Friday, Sept. 29
We will dismiss at 1:20. Please remember to mark your calendars so you will be at the bus stop early on Sept. 29. Staff will be working on strategies for increasing our students' knowledge of academic language.
Military Families
WCPSS is sending home a form with all students asking about connections to the military. If your family works with the military, please complete and send back this form. We have to update it yearly.
Does your child ride a Day Care Van?
If so, please call the day care if your child will not be riding in the afternoons. The daycares wait and try to locate a student who is absent or may have been picked up early. When they wait, it backs up the bus line, so to keep things rolling smoothly, it would help us if you communicated with them when your child is not riding as usual.
Going to the Fair this year?
If you are going to the fair this year, you can pre-buy your tickets and our school will receive $2 for every admission. Use this link http://www.etix.com/ticket/v/1949

Boosterthon is coming soon! This year’s main fundraiser is the Willow Springs Fun Run! It’s a fun program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on 10/11 (Tracks 1, 2, & 3) and 10/24 (Track 4). Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on 10/19 (Track 3) and 10/27 (Tracks 1, 2, & 4). With our big goal of raising $30,000 for the many school activities sponsored by the PTA and for our Kindergarten playground, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun.
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, CASTLE QUEST! an English castle theme all about being brave and living with character. On their quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the “SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO” from a cast of colorful characters. We are looking forward to getting started again with our Boosterthon team - keep an eye out for more information!
