PWS Families,
For a short week it was certainly packed with plenty of excitement and energy. This week we welcomed our incoming Kindergartners and First Graders and their families at our orientations. We cannot wait for them to join us at PWS. We are certain that these students and families will add to the continued excellence and passion that makes Peter Woodbury so great.

As the weather has gotten warmer, we find ourselves more and more enjoying the wonderful outdoor experiences we have here. Please make sure your child is coming to school with plenty of water and a water bottle to refill as the day goes on. Also, we ask that if you choose to use sunscreen that you apply it before the day begins. 

This coming Thursday is our annual Field Day. This is a day that teachers and students look forward to. Mrs. Ferenc is hard at work creating a memorable day for all involved. If you are able and interested in volunteering please sign up HERE . We still need volunteers to make this day possible.

Finally, we began this week with the recognition of Memorial Day. While we had the day off to spend with family and friends, we also wanted to take a moment to remember those that have served and those that may have lost their lives for our freedom. We honor all those service men and women in any way connected to Peter Woodbury School.
Have a Great 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:
