W.E.S. Thanksgiving Food Drive
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Please help us make a difference, while also providing the chance for your child to participate in a community service project! Next week our school will begin collecting canned goods and dry goods to provide meals for families in need within our community. Every single donation helps, and together we hope our combined efforts will make a real difference for those in need this Thanksgiving.
We will be accepting donations over the next two weeks. The last day to bring in food donations will be Monday, November 13th. There will be boxes located in the lobby that have signs posted for each grade level. Students will be able to drop off their donations in the school lobby each morning. Parents will also be able to drop off items to the school at any time. There will be large white coolers at the main entrance where you can place donations.
Please consider donating any of the following items for your child’s grade level. Gift cards and monetary donations can also be sent in with students for the committee to purchase any additional items needed.
Please click the appropriate grade level link below for specific grade level items needed.

Title I Daily Learning Planner November
In addition to these resources, we would like to share with you the Title I School and Family Compact and the Title I Family Survey. Families of students who are receiving reading intervention during WIN have already received these electronic forms. As our building is a Schoolwide Title I building, any family is welcome to complete these forms at the links below. The School and Family Compact is a form in which families agree to support the reading of their child at home as the school agrees to support reading at school. The Family Survey asks for information about your child that can help the WES staff get to know them as readers. Both forms are completely optional, but you are encouraged to complete them if you have been notified that your child is receiving reading intervention during WIN. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Ramirez at jramirez@boyertownasd.org with any questions or concerns.
