Good Afternoon,
Hope you are all having a great week. Another
beautiful Saturday is in the forecastJ We had a pretty busy week here at Wawaloam~
On Wednesday, a group of students from the
Green School came by to present an assembly to Grades 1 and 2 on Healthy Food Choices
as part of a Senior Project. The students played a “jeopardy” game and watched
a short video based on the book, “Is Your Hair Made of Donuts” by Joy Feldman.
Our students were completely engaged by their influential message. It was
wonderful to see these role models share the importance to make healthy choices
and exercises. Wawaloam students were invited to write thank you notes or draw
pictures about what they learned if interested. Be sure they remember to drop
these off to me in the office and I will pass them along to our new community
friends.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to observe
the Healthy Sandwich Competition at Metcalf School. This event was sponsored by
our food service company, Sodexo. This was very well attended and it was great
to see some “old” friends conjuring up their masterpieces. The pride was
evident, but most important they were having SO much fun!!!
I enjoy my walkthrough of the whole
building, but this week I was especially inspired by displays of kindness and
empathy in kindergarten. Within a 20 minute span of time in 3 classes I
observed at least 6 students making choices to help each other without being
asked, this makes my heart feel so good! Be sure to compliment your
Kindergarten student this weekend!
If you do not have any plans this weekend,
consider attending the EWG High School Production of Beauty and the Beast at HS
this weekend. I am planning to bring my daughter, Juliette on Sunday at 2:00. There
is also a show tonight and tomorrow night at 7:00 PM. We are looking forward to
it!
Our new parent pick-up routine will begin
this Thursday, hopefully you have been reading about this and know the new
plan. We sent notices home today with students. Call us if you have any
questions regarding this change.
Thank you to all of you who helped us have such
a successful book fair. I think the
volunteers had as much fun as the students attending. We appreciate your time
so much! Don’t forget the Family Book Fair tonight at Metcalf from 6-7 PM.
Also, Family Math Night will be held at
Metcalf for Grades 1 and 2 this Thursday night. 5:30-7:30
