Dear Wiggin Street Families,
We are happy to welcome some new families to our Wiggin Street Family! I hope that this summer parent update finds you having a great summer. Make sure you are following our website and our social media pages: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We also have a Wiggin Street Alumni Facebook group which now has over 300 members!
For those of you that are new, we have a summer reading program, and I've included the links to the parent letters and recording sheets in this update. We encourage all to participate, and students will love the reward of a Wet-N-Wild Water Day. As you can see in the picture above, it's a fun time for all. There will be all kinds of fun water activities and games here at the school. You won’t want to miss out! As an EXTRA BONUS, students that continue to use Lexia Core 5 to practice skills over the summer, will also be rewarded. Our school wide goal is 50,000 minutes and 50 units gained. Any student that earns over 1,000 minutes during the summer will get a chance to soak me during water day. The way you read this summer is up to you! JUST KEEP READING!!
While your child reads, you can take digital photos and email them to Mrs. Phillips at arphillips@mvcsd.us. We will share all the pictures of students reading in a back-to-school video. You can also share the photos you post on social media with #WigginStReader. It’s always fun to see all of the interesting places students enjoying reading!
Lastly, With high gas prices, many find themselves sticking close to home this summer. The MVCSD Social Workers including our very own, Tamara Carlson, have created a wonderful list of summer things to do in and around Mount Vernon which is included below. Other summer fun ideas and the free summer food program are shared below. Check out the Summer Learning ideas from GreatSchools.org! #4 has terrific math tips for every grade.
Remember that we are "Better Together". Have a great summer!
Warmly,
Christy Grandstaff
