Wiggin Street Parent Update

On March 27th, MVCSD will have a 2-hour delayed for teacher professional development. Students should report by 11 am. Our Student Leadership Team will meet at 10:30 am in the library.

Dear Wiggin Street Families,

Our week started with the first day of Spring, and Spring Break is right around the corner April 3-10th! Also, next Monday, March 27th, will be a 2-hour delayed start, so we will start our day with students at 11:00 am.

We hope you have a great weekend!

Best wishes,

Christy Grandstaff

There will be pizza bites instead of breakfast for lunch.

The Battle of the Books Competition is Tuesday, March 28th at 6:00 in the MVHS Theater. The

team needs to be there at 5:30. We wish them the best. They have worked so hard reading and memorizing titles and authors of 84 books!

Announcements have been made at school, and teachers have reminded students that Lost and Found will be donated over Spring Break. Please encourage your child to double check for any missing items. Thank you!

Molly Hunter, Geologist and Paleontologist from ODNR, talked with students this week about fossils and what they are, how they are formed, and what they can tell us. She shared examples of our State fossil, the trilobite. Then, students were able to paint their own trilobite fossil.

Our next meeting will be April 11th (instead of April 4th). Officer Nominations will be done at that time with voting on May 2nd for the 2023/2024 school year.

SAVE THE DATE for the Fun Festival Community Event April 21st 5:00-8:00pm!

Save the date! Friday, April 21st is our Annual Spring Fun Festival!

We are in need of volunteers. You can find available slots for games here and other items here.

Also we are in need of the following donations: cookies, brownies, Rice Crispy Treats, etc. for desserts in the cafeteria. Also cakes, brownies, cupcakes, and other desserts for the 4 Corners Game prizes.

Please keep these dates in mind when scheduling appointments for April. Make-up testing takes some of our educators away from intervention instruction, so we like to limit it as much as possible.
