Webster Weekly News

Dear Webster Families,

As my time serving as the Supervising Dean at Webster Elementary comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to this incredible school community.

It has been a privilege to support Webster during Principal Clark’s leave and to work alongside such dedicated staff, wonderful students, and supportive families. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed, and I am truly thankful for the kindness and collaboration I experienced during my time at Webster.

Being part of the Webster community, even for a short time, has been meaningful to me. After spending the past nine years at the middle school level, I have truly enjoyed the change of working with younger students, and I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with the students here at Webster.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this amazing school community.

With appreciation,

Mr. Barnett

We are thrilled to have Mr. Clark back at Webster Elementary after his recent knee surgery! Huge thanks to our interim principal, Mr. Barnett, for keeping everything running smoothly for the last three months.

The middle school is lucky to have Mr. Barnett back, but he will always be welcomed here at Webster Elementary.

Mr. Barnett, We would be "Nerds" if we didn't show you our appreciation for making sure we didn't fall to "pieces" when Mr. Clark was gone. We wanted to show our thankfulness by giving you "100 Grand" but the money slipped through our "Butterfingers". It was not "PayDay" so we could not give you a shopping "Spree" in New "York". We thought about an "Orbit" around the "Milkyway" but that would cost "Extra". So just take a "Fast Break" and know this note is filled with "Mounds" of thanks because you were a "Lifesaver". It's been a "Joy" having you in our building Mr. Barnett!!

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to recognize and support individuals with autism and their families. Autism Awareness Day is observed on April 2, bringing attention to the importance of understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.

Throughout the month, our school will be showing support by encouraging everyone to wear blue on Fridays in April. The color blue is widely used for autism awareness through the Light It Up Blue campaign, which helps spark conversations and raise awareness about autism around the world. Wearing blue is a simple way to celebrate differences and show that our school community values kindness, respect, and support for all.

We held CATS Lunch on Friday, March 27th. Mr. Clark ate lunch with this group of Cool, Awesome and Terrific Students. Students are picked monthly by teachers in grades 5K-5 for making great gains in an academic area or working super hard.
