The "Nest" Returns
Wrightstown’s school store “The Nest” will be opening up the last week in November. Students can shop in the morning on their grade level assigned day during arrival time 8:50-9:10. This helps keep the lines down and students can start their day on time. The store is located in the back hallway by the recess doors.
We will be selling items such as pencils, scented erasers, book marks, stickers, notebooks, colorful pens just to name a few! Items will cost between $.50 & $2.00. Please send in small bills. No $20 bills as it is hard to make change. Thank you!

Monday, November 27th – 6th & 5th Grade
Tuesday, November 28th – 4th & 3rd Grade
Wednesday, November 29th – 2nd Grade
Friday, December 1st – 1st Grade & K (KPM will shop at 1:00pm in Mrs. Keens room)

WES Gives Back
Brighten the Holidays for a Child!
Would you help us put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season by donating an Amazon gift card or checking out our Amazon Wish List for the children living at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC)? https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0845AEA82AABF8CE9-45795498-pediatric#/
For the past 6 years, the GigiProject.org (a local nonprofit) has distributed toys/supplies WES students/staff have donated and they have brought so much joy and comfort to children spending the holidays at PSC. Your donations will directly benefit a medically fragile child (75% who are without parental support). Donations are due by Dec. 4th but we continue to hear supplies are limited so buy early!
Steps: 1) Purchase an Amazon gift card or Wish List item 2) Bring donation into WES 3) Gigi Project will use Amazon gift cards to purchase gifts that aren’t purchased 4) Student Council to wrap gifts 5) Gigi Project will bring wrapped gifts to PSC
Thank you in advance for giving these children a memorable holiday!

Below is a form to be completed for any Educational Trips. Please be sure to submit the form at least ten (10) days prior to your trip, for approval. Please contact Mrs. Karen Paulk, attendance clerk, at kpaulk@crsd.org if you have questions regarding this process.
Student Holiday Shoppe

This year's Student Holiday Shoppe will be held in-school on Mon, Nov 20 and Tues, Nov 21. Students can shop from a large selection of gift items for family, friends, teachers, and pets!

If your family wishes to participate, please send your child's money envelope into school with your child on the day that their class visits the Shoppe.
View the Classroom Shopping Schedule here.
In order to help you and your child plan out their budget, this year's pricing info is as follows: There will be a few items starting at $0.50 for children, $1 for Mom, Dad, and Cats, $2 for Grandma, Grandpa, Teachers, and Dogs. Most gift items are in the $2-7 range. Just a few items cost $8-12, for those who are looking for bigger gifts.
We are in need of volunteers for the Holiday Shoppe!
Helping set-up on Friday is a great way to preview the sale! Children are welcome if they are able to help out or entertain themselves.
There are also opportunities Monday and Tuesday mornings while the students shop, Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evening during conference hours, and Tuesday evening to help close out the shoppe.
Please sign up here to help if you are able.
Thanks, and happy shopping!
