Reminder: Winter break is coming!

Unfortunately, this reminder doesn’t mean we are going to get a break from winter. It’s just a reminder that students will not have school next week. It seems as though winter is here to stay!
Students love going sledding during P.E.!
Winter break is a great time to get started on the projects for our Education Fair which will be here before we know it. It is not too late to submit an application. Students can get a display board from the office, courtesy of the PTA, once they can show that they are planning on following through on their project. Currently half of our school population is signed up to complete a project which is just awesome!

Another thing students can do over break is participate in a fun event that our bus drivers are sponsoring. They are planning on taking students to the movies next Thursday, and then returning to West Genesee Middle School where they will provide lunch for them and play all sorts of games. Look for an informational flyer to come home today or tomorrow.

Our Fifth Grade Student Council Newspaper Committee has put together the first edition of the Junior Wildcat Times.  Click here to read it. Several fifth grade students contributed articles, comics, jokes, and photographs.

Valentine’s parties will be held on Friday at 2:15. Please remember that food in the nut-free classrooms needs to come with a label so that it can be checked by the nurse and/or classroom teacher. Valentines in those classrooms should also not come with any food attached to them. You’d be surprised at the items that contain or were made in a facility that processes nuts. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Lastly, our new dismissal procedures seem to be going great. Thank you to everyone for being on time to pick up your children. Have a great winter break!
