Chris Poulos is a youth motivational speaker and the 1991 Bicycle Stunt World Champion. Since 1988, he has performed at over 8,000 schools throughout the country. Chris demonstrates amazing bicycle stunts throughout the presentation while simultaneously sharing the stories of how kindness, being polite, earning respect, perseverance, and other core values got me where he is today. From anti-bullying to building resilience, Chris offers a range of topics (such as promoting kindness, core values, and the elimination of negative behaviors) and he tailors his program to the needs of each school. Specifically, he will be providing two Red Ribbon Week themed assemblies at Weathersfield School. One presentation will be for students in grades K-4 and the other for 5-8. Each program will be designed to be age appropriate and promote drug awareness, healthy life choices, kindness, and other core values. To learn more about this assembly watch: Chris Poulos

Thank you to our PTO for providing Apple Cider and Donuts this morning for students and staff. Everyone enjoyed this special treat.

We will have students bring Halloween costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st if they choose and we will have a parade at 1:00 PM to allow students to show their costume. This is also the final day of Red Ribbon Week. Students need to remember that their costumes need to be appropriate for school not excessively gory, scary or bloody. No masks and no weapons of any type are allowed with the costume. Students should be able to move around and do normal school activities with their costume. If students have questions or concerns about their costume they may bring it into the office for approval or take a picture, so that we can determine the appropriateness for school. All families are invited and encouraged to come and watch this annual event. It is great to see all of our students in their costumes and the excitement on their faces as the parade around the course. We hope to see you there!

Tigh na Coille, a super-group of teen and young adult musicians from County Clare, has toured widely, including recently at the National School for Performing Arts in Kotel, Bulgaria, and at the All-Ireland Fleadh in Co. Wexford. Tigh na Coille (named for the specific place the group comes from and translating from Irish Gaelic to ‘house in the woods’), plays traditional Irish instruments including fiddle, concertina, bodhran, wooden flute, whistle, harp, banjo and Uilleann pipes. They are taught by Denis Liddy, well-known Clare fiddler, and Elvie Miller, pianist/accordionist originally from New Hampshire, who studied traditional music in Ireland as a Watson scholar and now lives and teaches music in Co. Clare. The multi-talented group also includes several step dancers and sean-nós, or ‘old style’ step dancers, and several prize-winning traditional singers and lilters.

TOYS TO STAY AT HOME! Just a timely reminder that no toys are allowed at school. This includes trading cards, fidget tools, figurines, toy cars, dolls, stuffies or games. Toys are expensive for parents and we would hate for them to get lost or broken. We have lots of fun things at school to play with so students do not need to bring anything but themselves!

If toys are found at school they will be collected by the teacher for safe keeping and returned after school. Please have a chat with your child about this to ensure no toys get lost.

Please remember to follow the arrival and dismissal procedures for school. The fastest and safest way to drop off and pick up students is to stay in your vehicle. Staff is there to assist students get in and out of the car. If you have a student that needs help with buckling please park in the parking lot and we can bring your student to you. This will help to keep the flow of traffic moving. If you have any questions on our procedures, please ask.
