The Winn Word
January 5, 2025
Happy Sunday! We have a lot of exciting things happening this week!
Wednesday we are taking 3rd-5th grade to the "Hoops for Hunger" game at CMU. We love having the opportunity to share what a collegiate level sport looks like as well as some great role model female athletes! Thank you to Mrs. Dusenbery and Mrs. Sellers for coordinating the food drive and our trip to see the basketball game.
Wednesday also launches my first "Lunch with Laurie" for 2025. This is a drop in time to; say hi, ask questions, or share your ideas! See you on Google Meet!
Coach Walters has 22 students in 3rd-5th grade in her "Winn Run Club." They meet two days a week after school. Thanks to Chrissy Walters for inspiring our young runners. This is a great way to keep your child active as well as giving them some great life lessons on setting goals and having grit!
On Friday, Winn Fit a great program created by our Winn Parent Club begins! Winn Fit goes throughout the Winter season. Parents are required to stay as part of this program. This way you get to meet some new friends and your kids get to experience many different physical activities. It's a great way to blast off your weekend!
It's conference time again! This conference time is "by invitation" from your teacher. This means that your child has been identified as needing extra help academically and/or social emotionally.
Each teacher will be sending letters home with kids who need a conference this round. You may decide that you would like to meet with your child's teacher as well. Be on the look out this week for a letter coming home about Parent Teacher Conferences. If you have questions, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office.
Chrissy Walters is offering a weekly run club at Winn afterschool. She is opening the club for 3rd-5th graders. Mrs. Walters had an opportunity to talk to all of the students and you should have received a flyer where you can sign up. If your child is interested, please have them come try it out. It's a great way for your child to be active after school and make some new friends!
If you want to sign up your child click the Run Club 2025 image to go to the Google Form sign up! Training starts this week!
Thank you for sharing your child with our family here at Winn. Our motto at Winn is "Everything a Kid Needs." We focus on both academic excellence and creating good humans! I am here to serve you. If you have questions/concerns or need help in any way, please feel free to reach out to me.
