From the Plank South Leadership Team
Plank South Families,
As we were looking back over the last few weeks we were struck and amazed at exactly how much has happened since the last newsletter! Thanks to our amazing PTSA and the many, many of you who volunteered we've had terrific events for our kids (and faculty/staff!), including the Ice Cream Social, Staff Appreciation Week, A Spirit-Wear Sale, and the Lion King performance. Thanks to all of you who worked so hard to plan these events and support our kids!!!!
Additionally, we had a wonderful Author's Visit today (ask your kids!) a fabulous 4th grade concert last week, and our 5th grade concert tonight at 6:30pm!
Looking ahead the schedule lightens up, but make sure you have on your calendars two important upcoming events.
- Be sure to come out and vote on the school budget vote and Board of Education elections all day (6-9pm) on Tuesday, May 21st at Schroeder High School. Lots of information and links available on the WCSD website.
- We are fortunate this year to have a 4-day Memorial Day Weekend! Remember, no school on Friday, May 24th or Monday, May 27th!
Enjoy the Spring (yes, it is coming!),
Your Plank South Leadership Team,
Scott Wilcox & Jen Sullivan
Ride for Missing and Exploited Children
The Ride for Missing and Exploited Children will be visiting Plank South (weather permitting) on Friday, May 17th. Students are encouraged to wear Plank South spirit wear as we will be cheering the riders on as part of their 100 mile bike journey will be through our bus loop. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness for missing children as well as increase awareness around safety of all kinds for our children (ranging from bike safety to internet safety). At Plank South we will be focusing on this child safety component when we speak with kids about this event. Here are a couple of resources that families can use to start meaningful conversations with their children about how to stay safe:
