Wattles Park Parent Connection

Our Girls on the Run team will be competing in the season culminating 5k on Saturday, May 18th at 10:00am at the Harper Creek stadium and cross country complex. We are so proud of our girls! They have put in a lot of hard work to reach for their goals.

Our 4th grade students are going to the Field Museum and the Navy Peir on Monday, May 20th. Students and chaperones need to be at the school no later than 6:45am. Our estimateed arrival time back to Wattles Park is 9:30pm.

Our kindergarten and developmental kindergarten students are headed to Moo-Ville in Nashville on Monday, May 20th. They will be leaving at 9:00am and return at approximately 12:45.

On behalf of the American Heart Association, Wattles Park Elementary would like to thank our families for all the donations received for the 23-24 Kids Heart Challenge. $11,862.94 was raised this year! We had 156 students register.

The Remax Balloon Team will be at Wattles Park on Friday, May 24th in the morning to give the students a presentation about piloting a balloon and the science behind the balloon operation. Students will start with a presentation in the gymnasium, then will head outside(weather permitting) to see the balloon fully inflated.

We are looking for a few parents that would be willing to put up a sign for our 4th grade students. We have fence cups that we use to create this sign. It would take 2-3 people about an hour to put this together. Please call Corenna in the office if you are able to help. 441-5850

Here is a pre-view of the district newsletter that will appear in the Battle Creek Shopper and News in the next couple of weeks:

At Wattles Park Elementary School, we believe in the power of unity and collaboration. As we navigate through the end of the 23-24 school year, our work remains steadfast: "We Are Better Together." This shows up in our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every student, teacher, and staff member thrives.

Through Social Emotional Learning and inclusive classroom practices, we aim to instill the values of empathy, respect, and cooperation in our students. Whether it's working on group projects, implementing peer partnerships, or simply lending a helping hand to a classmate in need, our students exemplify the spirit of togetherness every day.

By embracing diversity and celebrating individual strengths, we create a vibrant tapestry of learners who understand that we are stronger when we stand united. Together, we can achieve anything, and together, we will continue to make Wattles Park a place where everyone belongs and succeeds.
