Hello Western Primary Families,
With November here, we’re embracing the season of gratitude and giving. This month brings wonderful opportunities for our students to learn about community, kindness, and the importance of helping others. Here’s what to look forward to:
November Theme: Gratitude and Giving Back
In November, our classrooms will focus on gratitude and giving. Through various activities, students will learn about kindness, empathy, and the joy of giving. We encourage families to join us by talking about gratitude at home and exploring ways to spread kindness together.
Food Drive for Kokomo Rescue Mission
We’re excited to announce our annual food drive, benefiting the Kokomo Rescue Mission. Throughout the month, students can bring non-perishable food items to drop off in our collection boxes at school. Your support means so much, and it’s a fantastic way for students to experience the power of giving back to our community. The class in each grade level that collects the most cans will win a cookie decorating party for their classroom. Thank you for giving back and helping us make a difference in our community!
Upcoming Events
- Veterans Day (November 11): Wear Red, White, and Blue
- Scheduled E-Learning Day: (November 13): Lessons will be posted on Google Classroom for students to complete at home
- Thanksgiving Break (November 27-29): We wish all our families a joyful Thanksgiving filled with warmth and gratitude. Classes will resume on Monday, December 2.
Health & Safety Reminders
As we enter colder weather and flu season, please ensure students come to school dressed warmly each day. Classes will go outside as much as possible for recess so dress your child for the cooler temperatures. Students, especially those of primary ages, need physical activity each day to enhance their development. If your child is in need of a coat, hat, or gloves, please reach out to me.
If your child shows symptoms of illness, we ask that you keep them home to help maintain a healthy school environment.
Thank You, Families!
We are so grateful for the support and encouragement from our Western Primary community. Thank you for helping us make our school a place where students can grow, learn, and thrive.
All the best,
Melissa DeWeese
WPS Principal
