Willow Parent Bulletin # 15
December 8, 2023
The Good Stuff:
It's never a dull moment with our Wildcats! For example, in Mrs. Dedo's Kindergarten class, the Gingerbread people they made ran away! They have "missing" posters hung throughout the building. A very large, you might say human-sized, Gingerbread person was spotted by several students tottering through the halls later in the day.
Friday we had a PBIS reward for staff and students. While staff enjoyed cookies and cocoa from our wonderful PTA, the students had fruit snack and watched Lost and Found. It's a sweet movie about the friendship between a penguin who shows up on a boy's doorstep. Ask your Wildcat how he/she /they would help the penguin get home. You can watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f747dwYMCI
The weather has been deceiving this week. While unseasonably warm the last few days, your Wildcat should still come in a coat each day. From your donations we have been able to put a clothing station in each wing. We appreciate all of you who made this happen!

Have a safe, caring and ready weekend!
