Better Together

Dear Wiggin Street Families,

We hope you had a wonderful Spring Break and Happy Easter! We are excited to return this week to all our Wiggin Street students. Due to Monday being a continuation of Spring Break and next Monday, April 8th, being a Solar Eclipse Calamity Day, we will have two short weeks before state testing begins. Please check the dates below and make sure that students will be in attendance as make-up testing takes some of our teachers away from intervention instruction. Of course, if they are ill, we would rather students not be in school and take the test when feeling their best.

We also wanted to make you aware that the Spring Fun Festival is coming up April 19th from 5-8:30 pm. If you have never attended this event, there will be food, games, and bounce house fun! More information is to come about pre-sale tickets, volunteers needed, and desserts needed for the 4 Corners Game and for the cafeteria. This is a great community event all all are welcome!

I've included some pictures and videos from our PBIS Dance "Glow" Party Reward. More videos and shorts can be found here on my YouTube Channel. Feel free to subscribe for future uploads.

Enjoy your day, and we will see you tomorrow!

Best wishes,

Christy Grandstaff
