Week of 10/6- 10/10
Dear Parents
Hello everyone!
Our Windsong Stampede is in full swing!! If you haven't registered, there is still plenty of time to get your child signed up at MyBooster.com. We've had such a great response but we would love to see everyone participating if possible. The funds being raised help support so many activities for students and our school. Thank you so much!
Please check out the Important Reminders below as we have a special request for a super fun lesson in the library next week!
Parent Conference month is here! Please make sure you have signed up for a conference time with your child's teacher. We have so many amazing things to share with you about your little one. If you are unable to meet in person, please let your child's teacher know and we will set up a Google Meet or phone call with you.
We need your help for another fun lesson in Science. If you are able, please send in cardboard boxes or cardboard box pieces, paper towel and toilet paper rolls. Thanks so much! We will be so grateful for anything you can help with. The kiddos love our Science experiments and it's such a unique opportunity to provide hands-on learning combined with critical thinking skills.
We can't wait to see everyone over the next few weeks!
We hope you have a fabulous weekend!
