PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE As we begin to wrap up the school year, I’d like to congratulate everyone for a job well done!! The kids made it to school mostly on time, ate something during lunch and snack, and lost a few water bottles, shoes, hats, jackets, etc. along the way, but they did it…We did it!! Just another 11 days until the end of the school year. 7 school days if you’re counting like my kids. YOU CAN DO IT!! Field Day was a blast!! 3rd and 4th graders on Wednesday had an amazing time with the obstacles, games, and an epic tug of war!! 5th graders will hopefully have a great day today. In typical fashion, the weather apps, tv stations, etc were slightly off with Thursday’s forecast. But! They will have fun today!! Looking forward to June 22nd, no more school. No more schedules, a constant stream of “I’m hungry, thirsty, bored!!!” Awaits us!! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Below is a quick list of essential supplies to hopefully have. You are well prepared for a great summer!! Summer checklist: - Sunscreen: Spray, lotion, faces, water-resistant, beach, pool, zinc!!
- Bug Spray: Off, Local Spray, Deet Free…TICK Repellant!
- Water Bottles: Check lost and found, underneath seats in the car, trunk, and forgotten sports bags….buy new at target, amazon, Walmart, or Etsy (they better not lose this one!)
- Bag for camp: WIS Spirit store drawstring “WESTON BAG”, “Memorial Day Fair” Drawstring bag, whatever bag I can find the night before.
- Beach towels: linen closet, dirty hamper, bathroom floor, better order more!!
- Books: Check out 200 books a week from the Weston Library and hopefully return them on time.
- OMG! What are we going to do today!!Visit CT, Day trip to Mystic, local ideas, movies!!!
Have a great weekend!!! Debbie Carrothers WIS PTO President 2021-2022 |

Then there will be a YEARBOOK CHAIR for GRADES 3, 4 & 5. Each Chair will be responsible for pictures for the pages in their grade section and divide up school events.
Please email mindyfierro@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering for Yearbook Coordinator, Yearbook Chair Grade 3, Yearbook Chair Grade 4 or Yearbook Chair Grade 5. |
