Dear PWS Families,
Thank you to everyone that made our Book Fair a huge success.This year the fair raised over $14,000 with over $1,000 of that being donations back to the classrooms. Thank you all for supporting this event, we raised a lot of money and have many happy children with new books. A special thank you to Mindy Bator, Michael Yamauchi, and Christine Roberts for spearheading this amazing event.
Tonight is our annual Father/ Daughter Dance. We are very much looking forward to hosting the girls and their fathers for a fun night of fancy dresses, dancing, and cupcakes.
On Wednesday, April 5, each student was given a bracelet that says "I AM AMAZING!" and were part of an All School Meeting by Acacia from Tiny Girl, Big Dream. This presentation was about encouraging every student at Peter Woodbury to reach out to one another in friendship and bring positive change to the world. The school received a Friendship Bench that will be put in the school yard. Ask your children about Acacia and what they learned from her!
CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Mind Blowers who placed first at the Destination Imagination State Finals at Bedford High School last weekend. The team took on the Engineering Challenge called In it Together. They had to design, build and test multiple free-standing structures that work together; develop a strategy for placing structures to support as much weight as possible; develop and present a collaborative solution to a global issue and create, and present two Team Choice Elements that highlight the team's interests, skills, areas of strength and talents.
The team now has an opportunity to travel to the Global Finals in Knoxville, TN at the end of May.
While the experience of going to the Global tournament will be priceless, it will cost the teams, who choose to accept the invitation, a considerable amount to make the trip. Bedford DI is busy organizing fundraisers to assist the 4 teams who have advanced. This Monday we kick it off with our annual Ecosmith shoes, bags, and belts fundraiser. PWS is very proud of this team's accomplishments and Bedford DI asks for your support in helping these teams move on to compete at Global Finals in May. More information can be found in the flyer attached and on the PWS website or Facebook page.

From Our Nurse: Mrs. Ewing
Mud season is here! Please consider packing an extra change of clothes(pants/ shirt/ socks) in your child's backpack for the next few weeks until the fields dry out. Mrs. Ewing has only a limited supply of extra clothing that need to be reserved for different kinds of "accidents."

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.
