Our “All for Books Change Drive” is here - every spare coin counts! Support students and teachers with your loose change and help them discover the magic of reading at next week’s Scholastic Book Fair. The change drive runs Monday-Friday this week outside school during dropoff time. Children will receive a book bundle raffle ticket for each donation, and Avery classrooms will celebrate with a pajama day if we reach our school-wide goal of collecting $600!

The Webster Groves School District's Equity in Action Committee values and encourages peer-to-peer recognition for equity work. Last year, the EIA just developed and launched a Community Recognition initiative, which provides an opportunity for members of the community to recognize individuals (i.e. students, teachers, parents, friends, community members, etc.), schools, businesses, and organizations who make everyday contributions towards creating and cultivating a culture of dignity that values all human beings within the WGSD. To learn more about this opportunity and to make a recognition, please go to Community Recognition. The deadline is November 17, 2023 and April 19, 2024.
