Great things are happening at WCS!

This week was both Teacher Appreciation week, and Nurse's Appreciation week! Students shared notes and thanks with their teachers and Nurse Megan, and the PTA surprised the staff with delicious and heartfelt treats each day! Thank you to everyone who helped make this week so special!

The middle school book clubs met for a final time this week. We had so many interested readers this year that we split the students into 2 book clubs, but we merged for our final discussion. 15 of us met in the library for lunch, a special themed dessert, and a spirited conversation about Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets. Mr. Huston and Ms. Luchies had a great time talking about books with these kids this year. Thanks again to the PTA for sponsoring this extracurricular activity!

• Monday, May 13th from 4:30p-8:30p Woolwich DQ is hosting a fundraiser to support Odyssey of the Mind’s trip to World Finals. Come on out and enjoy some DQ for a good cause! 20% of the proceeds will support the team.

• 8th Grade Dance tickets are still on sale in the WCS office. Tickets are $10 each. This year students may bring a guest from grades 6-7, however all students must be from RSU1. The dance is happening on May 17th at MHS.

• THANK YOU to everyone who came out last weekend to support our PTA and work on cleaning up our gardens. We had a lot of fun together, and the school gardens look AMAZING!
