Dear PWS Families,
The first full week of the new year is finally in the books. It was great to see how productive all the students were with five days to work with. We know that the students don't always enjoy indoor recess, but we have to admit it is usually very entertaining for us. This week we were amazed as two first graders debated the proper shoe tying technique and fourth grade students ran self made experiments with their snow gear.
We are looking forward to our upcoming Family Fun Night. This year it will take place on February 6. Be sure to keep an eye out for information coming home soon.
This past Wednesday, our fourth grade chorus and Strings Club dazzled us with their beautiful performance. It was incredible how great they sounded after only 11 practices. Congratulations to Mrs. Curran and all the performers.
Finally, you may hear your child talk about doing rechargers in the classroom. Rechargers are quick physical activities that all students can do to address energy, alertness, and sensory needs. Here is a short video that demonstrates a few we are focusing on this month. Recharger Video
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal
