PWS Families,
It was a short week, but an exciting week here at Peter Woodbury School. This week we were able to enjoy a performance by the fourth grade chorus and then all watch as Mrs. Daley got slimed. It was a great way to end our Monday.
Many parents were able to join us for our Volunteer Appreciation breakfast on Wednesday. Even if you were not able to make it please know how thankful we are for all that you do to make Peter Woodbury such a special place to learn, work, and grow.
We have decided to change how we send this blog out to all of you. As you can see, we no longer will be sending you to another site, rather we are containing all the information right here in the email. We hope that this streamlines the process for all of you and gets you the information you need in an easier manner. There will always be a link at the bottom of the email that will get you to archived copies of our weekly blog.
Finally, if you have an incoming Kindergarten student or first grader, please be sure to RSVP and join us for our orientations coming up next week. More information can be found below.
Have a Great Long Weekend,
Cheryl Daley (Principal)
Dan Mitchell (Assistant Principal)

Destination Imagination Fundraiser - Duct Tape Mr. Mitchell to the Wall!
As you know two of our DI teams are fundraising to help defray the cost of traveling to Knoxville, TN later this month. They have a very creative fundraising idea - for just $1, a student can buy a strip of duct tape to tape Mr. Mitchell to the wall. Teachers will be collecting the $1 and will write the student's name on a list to receive the strip of duct tape at a date TBD.
Students may buy a maximum of 5 strips. Please help us make this a successful fundraiser for our teams.
Here’s an idea of what it may look like:
Request for Yarn:
Do you have any yarn hanging around? The recess monitors would love any yarn you are looking to get rid of as finger-knitting has become a very popular indoor recess activity with our students. There will be a donation bin located under the volunteer sign-in table near the front office. Thank you!
