Hello PWS Families,

It has been an exciting week at PWS.  I was watching Kindergarten students each share something interesting with the class in 30 seconds.  If you have a Kindergarten child or have ever had one that likes to talk you know that this task is nearly impossible.  Here are some shares they stated,  "I made a snowman out of marshmallows", "I have a french braid which, means my aunt who did it is french." and "I am going to tell you about all the things I am going to do over vacation."

Thank you for coming to our Math and Literacy Night!  It was great to see so many families participate in this event!

The Invention Convention was on Monday for 3rd grade and some 4th graders.  It was a another event that showed how the work of the students, parents and staff at PWS can make amazing things happen.  I think you would agree in the fact that we have some current and future inventors in our school.
