Wasmer Weekly Update

On Friday, one student from each class was selected as the Responsible Driver of the Month. Each student that won this award was able to call home, have a fun lunch bunch in the library, and earned an extra recess. We have many students at Wasmer who are responsible day in and day out with not just their actions, but also with their words. In the mornings, students would share how they were responsible the day prior and these are the things students are doing without asking to show they are responsible: having materials out and ready for the next subject level, cleaning up paper towel pieces in the restrooms, walking quietly in the hallway, cleaning up their areas in the lunchroom, helping to pick up extra equipment when recess is over, listening quietly when their peers are sharing their thinking in class and much, much more. The classroom winners were:

Kindergarten Grosvenor: Benjamin Partida

Kindergarten Nabity: Carter Vogel

First Saathoff: Sebastian Rojas Puerta

First O'Neill: Fatyma Vera Lugo

First Randall: Iram Mejia Crescencio

2nd Christensen: Marlon Mirabal Alvarez

Second Anania: Breylan Galmes Alvarez

Second VanWormer: Marianna Castro

Third Jones: Emma Vogel

Third Jensen: Alan Galaviz

Third Battershaw: Emily Ren-Ramos

Fourth Zuelow: Sophia Roush

Fourth Hanover: Marivel Morales

Fifth Cook: Levi DeLeon-Matias

Fifth Pinkelman: Liberty Rice

**Check out our Wasmer Elementary Facebook for individual pictures of each student!

As our kids come to school in layers, I would like to encourage everyone to label jackets, gloves, hats, and coats. Our lost and found is overflowing. If you've noticed that your student's coat hasn't made its way home from school, please ask your student to clean out their locker and/or check the lost and found. Parents, you are welcome to come in during arrival or dismissal to help your students look for missing items.
