Great things are happening at WCS!

Students and staff have been collecting non-perishable food in our dory named Bill. On Thursday, the 8th grade class bagged everything up and walked all 85 bags of food to the Woolwich Town Office. The students had a police escort to cross Route One to get to the Town Office, and enjoyed being out in the sunshine (and brisk temperature!) We are so grateful for the generosity of our community, and your willingness to support others in need!

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and joined us for the Tree Lighting last night! People were treated to cookies and hot cocoa and a visit from Scratch and Buddy the Elf! Many thanks to our Amazing PTA for bringing us such fun and creative ways to connect with each other as a community!

Seventh grade science students have been studying the life cycle of strawberries, and the eighth graders have been performing experiments that cause chemical reactions.

January 2024 Breakfast & Lunch menus are out. This information is always available on our website under MONTHLY MENUS.

• Take a look around your house and see if you have any WCS library books to return. If so, try to put them in your student's backpack so they don't get misplaced during the shuffle of vacation!

• A change of clothing is helpful for all students (not just little kids!) Keeping a spare outfit in the locker will prevent the need to call home if someone gets wet at recess or spills something!
