Great things are happening at WCS!

This week we held our annual Open House. Families were invited to tour the classrooms and see their students' work. They could also check out some of the programming that youth-centered organizations from the Bath/Woolwich have to offer. We love these opportunities to gather together as a community. Thank you to all who came out!

Our 4th-8th grade students will meet award winning author, Gary D. Schmidt, in a few weeks! Students have the opportunity to buy discounted books by Mr. Schmidt that he will sign during his visit. An order form went home this week and is due back WEDNESDAY, OCT. 2 to ensure the book order arrives in time. Please contact Ms. Luchies (aluchies@rsu1.org) if you have any questions.

The PTA is very excited to be kicking off our Get Glowing Fun Run Fundraiser! This glow-in-the-dark event will be held October 18th from 5-7, and we will have activities, glow jewelry, food for sale, and of course, running! This event is open to the whole school. Please take a look at the information sent home with your student this week, and use our link to sign your student(s) up today: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/getglowing/addme

If you own a business and would like some publicity while supporting our Woolwich students, please consider sponsoring a classroom! Donors with a $100 sponsorship will receive a sponsorship certificate on the door of your classroom of choice and a post on our social media. $250 is a gold level sponsorship that will provide the above things, as well as a shout-out at the beginning of our fun run, extra social media advertisement, and a spot on our flyers. Please contact Carly at mywcspta@gmail.com to get a sponsorship form! PS: your sponsorship amount goes towards your sponsored classroom’s overall total. Your child’s class will get credit for your donation, your business will get publicity- it’s a win all around!

• Art Club Reminder: the K-2 group meets on Tuesdays and the 3-5 group meets on Wednesdays. Both sessions end at 4:30pm.

• The Woolwich Word is starting back up and it is fully staffed! We're looking forward to all the creative insight the students will bring to our school newspaper! Stay tuned for the first issue.

• Do you know someone who would like to receive the WCS Weekly Newsletter? Let the office know and we'll add their email to the mailing list.

Odyssey of the Mind is in need of volunteer coaches! Odyssey of the Mind is a critical thinking and creativity program and competition.
