Spell a Thon a great success
Washington students did a fantastic job on the Spell a
Thon, raising over $11,000. Thanks to generous donations
from parents and the community, every child who
donated pledges received a prize at our assembly. Students
who wrote 100% of their words correctly loved
their special certificates. Many thanks to the students
and families, and especially our dedicated Parent Club
members, for the support. 99 students brought in
$50.00 or more in pledges, qualifying for our special activity
event in March. Room 2, Mrs. Ribeiro’s class, brought in the most pledge money and Room 3, Mrs. Goodbar, had the highest
number of students participating. Those classes will
receive a popcorn/movie. All funds go to field trips and
special student supplies.
STAR Behavior Continues
If you have been on campus lately, you will have seen our
new signs and posters all over campus to remind students of
our STAR matrix:
--Stay Safe
--Take Responsibility
--Act Respectfully
--Ready to Learn
We have been working to make it fun with our new
mascot “Georgie,” who goes to classrooms who perform
good deeds, for example, outstanding cafeteria behavior.
Students receive STAR bucks for good behavior that they
can trade in for small prizes. Keep up the great work!
The Book Fair is coming!
come in and students may browse and write a wish list with the name of book and cost to show parents. Tuesday night will be Parent’s Night, so the library will be open from 4:00 - 7:00
