Dear PWS Families,
So much for March going out like a lamb! Speaking of the snow please make note of the change for the DI State Tournament below.
It has been a great week here at PWS! In classrooms this week, we observed first graders writing directions on something they wanted their teacher to learn. Some of our favorite topics included how to play soccer, dance ballet, swim, and be a princess. Most of our 3rd and 4th grade students have finished their Smarter Balanced Assessments. If you have a 3rd or 4th grade child please let them know how proud they should be for giving their best on these tests!

Box Tops for Education (BTFE) Update
The numbers are in: We have raised $2,960 for the 2016-2017 School Year, which is almost $700 over the 2015-2016 school year. Thank you to the students, parents, teachers and friends who have continued to clip these pesky little pink rectangles! We will soon be posting fun graphs and charts to the bulletin board (near the PWS office) so that you can see how the teachers and grades matchup in collection totals. Although the BTFE Program’s year is closed, we ask for everyone’s support to continue clipping. There will be an additional collection mid-May to ensure that we don’t lose money from expiring Box Tops. Did you know that every month we have a chance to win free Box Top? Visit www.BTFE.com and select ‘Earn Box Tops’ and then ‘Sweepstakes.’ Who knows? Maybe we will win a Million Box Tops for PWS! You can also download the Box Tops Bonus App to win more Box Tops.
