Families,

What a great way to end the week! We dressed up as Mr. Baer as he walked in the parade with us, so we could wish him well in his retirement. He received so many warm wishes from parents and the community. It was fun to chat it up with him as we walked together. He was also honored on Thursday with a placque from the Ohio Association of Public School Employees and the OAPSE State Vice President, Mike Lang during our staff potluck.

We welcomed our new custodian, Chopper, on his first day back at Wiggin Street today. He worked at Wiggin Street for many years and is returning after 9 years away. All of us that worked with him before know that we are lucky to have him return!

Next week, we will have a short week. There is no school on Thursday and Friday due to conferences. Please call into the office if you still need to schedule a conference with your child's teacher. Our students are more successful if we collaborate and work together to help them.

Our Scholastic Book Fair will be open during conferences, but we are in dire need of volunteers. If we do not have enough, we will have to close it down as needed. Please check out the times still open to see if you would be available to help. Thank you!

Enjoy all of the pictures from this fun week at Wiggin Street!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Best wishes,

Christy Grandstaff

Our next Friends of Wiggin Street meeting will be November 5th at 5:00 pm. Parent/Teacher Conferences are November 6th-7th, and we will also be having the Scholastic Book Fair in the gym. We are in need of volunteers to help with the Book Fair. If available, please sign up below. Thank you!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be open during Parent/Teacher Conferences. Students will also be able to create a wish list and/or purchase items on Wednesday, November 6th during school hours. A digital e-wallet shopping link will be provided prior to the sale that can be shared with family and friends.

First Grade students used what they learned about nouns, verbs, and adjectives to write spider poems.

Has your child outgrown their coat? We have a box in our office entryway for Coats for Kids to be donated. Check out this Knox Pages article for more information. Coats for Kids article

Students will have a personalized QR code/online order code where you can shop for items featuring your child's artwork. These would make wonderful Christmas gifts!

Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions- cbiggerstaff@mvcsd.us

Community flyers can be found on our district website here. Check them out!

This is a great opportunity for our 5th grade student since it aligns with their Social Studies standards. We will be out of school due to conferences on Friday, November 8th or we would make it a field trip.
