KINDNESS TREE:

Last week we distributed our first set of leaves for the kindness tree! Though we didn't get them out as quickly as we'd hoped (please disregard the Fri. 9/22 collection date), we'd still like you to send them in when they are done! Some classrooms did it together as a class project other teachers sent them home. If your child's leaves were sent home, send them back when they are complete and we'll add their good deeds to the tree!!!

GOLDEN TICKETS:

Our Golden Tickets have arrived, we'll be assigning numbers to students and keeping them in house to check them for winning numbers. Numbers are drawn on Mondays beginning October 2nd! If your child gets a winning ticket the school will receive a $5000.00 grant as well as $500.00 to donate to a charity of their choice. Winners also receive Feinstein "swag" and special gifts from the Foundation!

Has everyone in your family had their flu vaccine? There will be a FREE flu vaccine clinic, see attached. Warwick FLU Clinics.pdf

Here’s some important information about the FREE flu vaccine clinic:

• Register online at schoolflu.com to schedule an appointment.

• Online registration is required to ensure the availability of the vaccine, walk-ins will be limited.

• Insurance information will be collected, but the vaccine is FREE whether you have insurance or not.

The flu is a serious, highly contagious, and sometimes deadly disease. Catching the flu means missing days of work and school. You might even have to spend time in the hospital. Don’t take the risk — the flu vaccine is your best protection against the flu.

For more information, visit health.ri.gov/flu/, or call the Department of Health’s information line at 401-222-5960.

Please email our secretary, Miss Ann, ann.palumbo@warwickschools.org for assistance with a password change. Miss Ann is not able to add or remove information such as phone numbers and addresses.

Though all schedules and classroom assignments are started to post on Aspen, we have been making updates as new students enter and programming adjustments are made. Please check Aspen frequently before the first day of school.
