Wildcat Weekly- 10/13-10/17

Message from Principal Martinez πΎ
Dear Wildcat Families:
The fall season brings reflection and connection. Our students have been working hard and our classrooms are buzzing with curiosity and creativity. We have been thrilled to begin our Launch Lab lessons with Mr. Sandback and our Art lessons with Mrs. Wegner!
As this season continues, we have many exciting family events on the horizon that we hope youβll join us for! These special gatherings help strengthen our school community and give students wonderful memories to cherish. Be sure to check our calendar and weekly updates so you donβt miss out on all the fun. Next weekβs Book Fair and Fall Family Night are sure to be a big hit! Iβm looking forward to seeing the events unfold in our school community.
We are so grateful for your continued partnership and support. When families and schools work together, amazing things happen for our students. Thank you for being such an important part of our school team!
Go Wildcats!
Minimum Day on 10/14 (1 pm Dismissal)
National School Lunch Week
OCTOBER 13-17
Please join us in thanking the dedicated school nutrition professionals (Mrs. Miriam & Mrs. Agnes) who help ensure Pomerado students are well fed and ready to learn, regardless of financial circumstances. The Food and Nutrition Department serves more than 17,000 lunches every school day, featuring organic produce and milk from local farms, entrees rich in whole grains and lean protein, and options for varied food preferences. During National School Lunch Week, we recognize and appreciate the important role that nutrition plays in supporting student success.
Disaster Drill π¨
Our first disaster drill of the year took place on Thursday, and our students and staff did a wonderful job! Everyone followed directions calmly and worked together to practice safety procedures. Included is a photo of some of our great student helpers during the drill.
