We have had a great short week of learning and growing at Workman. Today, we enjoyed our silly string party. Students had a great time spraying their teachers and Mrs. Johnson. Thank you to Mrs. Wegner and Mrs. Vanmeerbeek for creating these fun reward parties for our students.

Also, the lost and found is getting full again. If your student has lost a hoodie, jacket, coat, shirt, shoes, gloves, etc., please stop by during school hours to check out the lost and found racks hanging in the lobby.

Have a great weekend, and as always, don't hesitate to contact Mrs. Johnson or Mrs. Sturdy if you have any questions or concerns.
