Windermere Weekly Update

Help the PTO continue this yearly tradition. Please drop off a store bought pie to the front office Wednesday (all day), Thursday (all day) or Friday (before 9AM).

PTO will then take these pies and hand them out to teachers and staff on Friday. It's something everyone very much looks forward to and appreciates!

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place from November 10-November 17 in our WES Library. See library website here for specific times for shopping.

Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

We will be open until 4:30PM on Wednesday for any parents to come and shop!

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Veterans Day assemblies. Unfortunately, I was under the weather and not able to attend. I'm so sad I missed it! However, I saw several videos and I'm so proud of our students who participated in the assembly and the awesome behavior of the students who attended. A very special thank you to Ms. Darlington who coordinated the program and got our students ready. She's been planning this since last year! Thank you to all the veterans who came and made the day truly special - thank you for your service to our country!

Windermere students had the honor of introducing two authors at the Texas Book Festival on Sunday! They did a fantastic job. I was so proud of them and how well they represented Windermere! A special thank you to 2nd grade teacher Meagan Pierce who coordinated everything and helped get students prepared! Also, thank you to the parents for getting your children to downtown Austin on a Sunday morning in the rain!

Thank you to those of you who have donated. We still need items for the lounge! We'll take them all year.

You can drop items by the front office and we will take it from there! A few of you have sent items via Amazon and that works perfectly. Our address is 429 Grand Ave. Pkwy, Pflugerville 78660.

Mostly, anything that's shelf-stable will work, but here are some ideas for what to purchase:

Sodas, LaCroix-type drinks, Tea Packets, K-Cups (coffee)

Granola Bars, Trail Mix, Popcorn, Chips, Crackers

Chocolate, Cookies, Candy, Snack Cakes

Beef Jerky, Cup-O-Noodle Soup

Any other kinds of snacks you can think of, chances are someone will LOVE it!
