Wiggin Street Parent Update
March 21, 2025
Better Together
Dear families,
This week was an exciting one starting with St. Patrick's Day fun. Some of our 5th grade students then shared at the MVCSD Board meeting about their Physics Lab visit. They did such a great job of demonstrating all that they learned about sound waves. Then, on Tuesday night, our Battle of the Books team led by Captain Maddy Kelling with such composure and collaboration, brought home the WIN! We are so proud of how hard they worked throughout the year reading from a list of 70 books and memorizing the titles and authors with the help from Mrs. Stetler and Mrs. Eilbacher.
On Wednesday, our Seminar students traveled to Earthworks for a field trip. Students that received their 50 PBIS points, with no major discipline referrals, were rewarded with a special assembly from Mobile Ed, "The Magic of Science".
We are so grateful that our students get to experience so much due to the community support they receive. At the Board Meeting on Monday, I had the pleasure of sharing all the collaborations we have with Kenyon and how it benefits our students.
We hope you have a wonderful Spring Break, and we will see everone on Monday, March 31st!
Best wishes,
Christy Grandstaff
