Happy Friday! It was a busy, busy week here at Washington, but so many fun things to celebrate!!!

A few important items to note:

~ Walk-A-Thon & Washington Family Picnic were a HUGE success. Thank you to EVERYONE who made both things a smashing success!! Washington is most definitely an amazing place to be!

~ No School: Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, October 14 in honor of Indigeneous Peoples Day. Also, there is no school on Thursday or Friday, October 17 & 18 due to the MEA Break.

~ Box Tops & Hy-Vee Receipts: Just a friendly reminder that the PTO collects both of these things. You need to download the Box Tops for Education app in order to submit receipts, but it's super-duper easy and well worth the time, as the dollars add up! You can submit Hy-Vee Receipts to the Washington office OR send them with your child, and we'll make sure they get to the right place.

~ Birthday Treat Reminder: We have already seen many birthday treats that are food so far this year. Your help and support with NOT celebrating with food is appreciated for many different reasons. At Washington, we value celebrating your child on his/her birthday. ISD 77 has developed a wellness guideline in an effort to develop a healthier school environment. To support this initiative, Washington would like to share suggestions for how your child could celebrate their birthday at school without food/sweet treats. If your child chooses to celebrate at school, they may choose a celebration from this list. Please inform your child’s teacher of your choice prior to the celebration day. Also, unless an entire class is invited to a party, invitations should NOT be distributed at school.

Thank you for being such a great Washington community!
