Great things are happening at WCS!

Thank you to our friends and families who came out to the Harvest Supper earlier this month! It was great to see everyone and to share a meal together. Ticket sales from this event go toward the annual 8th grade class trip to Washington, D.C. Be on the lookout for additional opportunities to support these students in reaching their goal!

We had an amazing selection of entries to the PTA Incognito Turkey Contest! The winning students were: Rhi Malcolm, Keira Richardson, Clayton Preble, Jack Lebel and Clara Wynne! This is one of our favorite contests, and we love seeing the entries displayed in the lobby!

Hello Families! Mr. Hutchings here with a weekly wellness tip! We are a 5210 Let's Go School here at Woolwich. This means 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables everyday, 2 hours or less of screen time, 1 hour or more of exercise, and 0 sugary drinks. These are things that I talk about with the kids at school and I really would love to see our awesome community get behind this initiative. Are you practicing 5210 at home? I will be talking more about each category in the following weeks, and will offer ways to help achieve these important daily numbers! Keep the kids moving and eating well, and be on the lookout for next week's wellness tip!

Each Friday, Mr. Hutchings invites the K-2 classes to join him in the Gym for 10 minutes of fitness fun. This is a popular activity for students. It encourages kids to exercise with fun music and friends. "Fitness Friday" directly precedes "Sleep In Saturday," which is a favorite among parents.

• If you are planning on your student missing 2 or more days of school for a trip or a family visit, please complete a Planned Absence form (CLICK HERE). This form helps teachers plan their classroom activities around who will be present and helps the office excuse your student's absence!

• Please remember to send your students in with appropriate cold-weather clothing including hats, mittens and coats. We will be outside almost every day enjoying the fresh air, and we want students prepared to enjoy recess outside all winter long!
