Community Parade
October 5th is our school district's community parade at 9:30 am. Come join us as our district celebrates 150 years, Marching Through Time. If you and your student would like to walk with Webster Elementary in the parade, please be in the Big R parking lot not later than 9:15 am. You can park in the Watson Jr. High parking lot across the street, there is NO parking at Big R. The parade ends in the parking lot east of CA Foster Stadium by Widefield High School. You must arrange transportation to return to your car. Since Webster Elementary was built in 1969 we are Marching Back in Time to 1969, students are encouraged to wear a Wildcat shirt or tie dye, our float will be a Volkswagon Van decorated for the Sixties. Parents are required to walk with students and a waiver will need to be signed prior to the start of the parade. We look forward to a fun morning celebrating our district, schools, and community.

October is Bullying Prevention Month. We will start the month off with a Spirit Week to remind students the importance of paying attention to how we treat others here at school and how we can speak up if we experience bullying or witness it. Bullying is defined as a repeated aggressive behavior that is intentional and repeated over time. I will be in classrooms this month teaching students about what bullying is and what we can do about it. Our Spirit Week runs from Wednesday, October 2 - Friday, October 4th and these days will be dedicated to a different theme.
October 2 - Wednesday: It is okay to be unique and different! ~ Wear mismatched clothes!
October 3 - Thursday: You’re never alone! ~ Twin Day!
October 4 -Friday: Take today to compliment as many people as you can. You’re a star! ~ Wear yellow!
