Dear PWS Families,
Yesterday we finished our very successful food drive. Thank you to all the students, staff, and families who donated to help our neighbors in need. As a school, we collected over 2,000 items and filled three large bins with food.
The excitement of the holiday season and the impending vacation is filling the halls of Peter Woodbury School. It has been fun seeing the many ways the children are starting to get into the season.
As part of our Bee Kind movement, the trophy case in the lobby is being transformed into a beehive of kindness. As students are recognized for their kind acts, another cone will be added to the hive. We know that it will be filled in no time.
Finally, we want to take a moment to once again thank the PTG for providing the staff with an amazing Coffee Cart this morning. We so appreciate the ways our parents go above and beyond to make us feel special. It is appreciated more than you could ever know.
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal
