This Thursday, we celebrated the students who were chosen as the Responsible Drivers of the Month. These students were chosen by their classroom teacher for being responsible everywhere in the building. Many examples include: having materials ready in the classroom, following building expectations, and following directions right away.These students go to have a fun lunch bunch in the library, call home to an adult, received a special locker tag, and got to have an extra recess on Friday!!

Please have students dressed appropriately for the weather, especially if walking to school. Students can store any extra layers in their lockers. Wasmer follows GIPS guidelines for outdoor recess--we stay indoors if the windchill is below 20 degrees or if precipitation is on the ground.

If you do not get a phone call, text message, or email from Grand Island Public Schools, school WILL be in session. When in doubt, you can also look at the Grand Island Public School's Facebook page.

Congratulations to our girls who completed Basketball Club with Mr. Berger!!
