We Are... Wildcats!!
May 5th, 2023
May 8-12 is Staff Appreciation Week!
Help us celebrate all of our incredible Weiss staff. Each person has been instrumental in the growth and development of our students and we want to express our appreciation for their year of hard work and dedication to our Wildcat community.
Staff Appreciation Week is made possible through a collaborative effort with families, the PTO, administration and Food Services within the district.
The PTO needs your help to provide staff with meals for the week, small treats, and a lounge stocked with snacks and food that they can grab and go during their busy lunch breaks.
If you are able to donate cash, snacks and/or your time this week, please use this link: https://tinyurl.com/4zczeff7
- If you click, “view full description” at the top of the sign up genius link, it should give more information on how to donate to the Amazon Wish List and the Pay Pal link.
Thank you,
Weiss PTO

Culture Day- May 19th
Hello Wildcat Families,
We are thrilled to announce that our 4th-grade Orange Squad students are organizing a fantastic event for our school community - Culture Day! The event was inspired by Batoul E., one of our talented 4th graders at Weiss.
Our Orange Squad students have worked hard to create a special opportunity for interested families and students to share their culture or a culture they want to teach about with the school community. On May 19th in the PM (around 1:30pm-3:30pm), interested students in presenting will have their stations set up to showcase different cultures around the world, and other students in the school will have the chance to learn from them.
We are proud of our Orange Squad students for taking the lead on this exciting initiative and creating an opportunity for us all to learn from each other. Great job, Batoul, and our whole Orange Squad! We can't wait to see all the amazing presentations and artifacts on display.
Additionally, we're excited to share a blurb and an attachment created by two talented Orange Squad members to provide all the details about this exciting initiative. The blurb is the one directly below this message:
Field Day
May is here! That means we only have several weeks left of school to cram as much fun, learning, and memory-making into the weekdays! Challenge accepted.
Our field day is scheduled for June 6th! I just wanted to let you know that more details are coming. Mr. Martin will be in search of volunteers to help with that day!
