Timberwolf Times

We have been busy at Mary Endres this month! If your child hasn't mentioned our Pack Rally or their meeting times with their "buddy classroom" ask them! We will be meeting for our Pack Rallies once a month to talk about social-emotional skills and have fun team-building. This past month we spoke about respect and played Rock Paper Scissors with one winner and a whole lot of cheerleaders! Buddy classrooms meet once a month to reinforce the school-wide social-emotional focus, do fun team-building activities and they get to write a page in their "Stories of You". At the end of the school year, each student will walk away with their own story including some fond memories of time with their buddy classmates.

Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. With a comprehensive curriculum that applies the power of running, the program encourages boys to develop their psychological, emotional and social health, in addition to their physical health. Twice a week for seven weeks, two trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others, each practice includes a lesson from the Let Me Run curriculum that incorporates running, games and activities. The fall season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

Registration at Mary Endres is now open for grades 4 and 5!

Fall season starts on Monday, September 16, meets Mondays and Wednesdays after school from 1:50-3:15.

Some students will be coming home with Meal Modification Request forms over the next couple of days. If it has been reported that your student has food intolerance or food allergy, the district needs a meal modification request form on file. Food services can offer alternatives for dairy milk products. We are unable to accommodate alternatives without the form on file, signed by a physician. If an intolerance or allergy is noted on your student’s health record, but your student no longer has sensitivities or does not need accommodations, I need only a parent to fill this form out and sign it and also send an email to me stating the food sensitivities or intolerances are no longer a concern.
My email is kcamp@wcusd200.org. Once I receive those from parents, I can then remove the health concern from the students record. This is a tedious process at the moment, so please bear with staff as we are trying to follow the current district and medical protocol. Please reach out to me directly with any questions or concerns regarding this matter. My direct line is 815-206-4690. Thank you so much for your cooperation and helping us keep students safe and healthy. I appreciate you all.
