Dear PWS Families,
Happy 100th Day! If you weren’t aware, today was the 100th day of School. It was great to see all the different collections of 100 things the students brought in to celebrate. We even ended the day with some dance time to celebrate 100 days of learning, working, growing, and kindness.
This week was also the first full, five day week we have had in some time. It was great to see how much we all were able to accomplish. Family Fun Night is coming up in just over a week. The students are talking more and more about it and it has been great to see all the donated items coming in that will make up the classroom baskets. We can’t wait to see you all there.
