Wiggin Street Parent Update

Dear Wiggin Street Families,

Thank you to all that were able to attend our Spring Fun Festival! A special thanks to our Friends of Wiggin Street, staff, and volunteers for making the event possible. Please take a minute to complete this survey to help us make adjustments for next year.

It was so nice to have the community altogether in our building again. There were smiles galore! We hope you enjoy the pictures in this update, and we hope to share more next week. Thank you to Katy J for coming to the festival to take pictures. We often find ourselves having so much fun that we forget to take them, and these will be treasured.

Saturday is 4/30/22, and your child is invited to walk in the 43022 parade in Gambier. Please see the flyer below. If your child would like to walk in the parade, please have them wear a Wiggin Street shirt or red and meet Mrs. Grandstaff and friends on W. Brooklyn St. next to the Village Market at 12:15. We hope to see you all there!

Lastly, make sure to double check your calendar with the Upcoming Important Dates at the end of this update. Some events have been added and others may have been revised.

Warmly,

Christy Grandstaff

If your child would like to walk in the parade, please have them wear a Wiggin Street shirt or red and meet Mrs. Grandstaff and friends on W. Brooklyn St.

Due to testing this week and Kenyon having exams starting the first week in May, we have decided to end Homework Club for the rest of this school year. We hope to resume next September.

Next FOW meeting is Tuesday, May 3rd @ 5:00 pm.

Thrive Kids Update

Anger. Sometimes it can help us do our best. And, sometimes it can KEEP us from doing our best. Staying in control when we are angry is hard but when we create a plan for what we will do when we are angry then we have a better chance to stay in control.

This week we worked on an "exploding" push-up from our knees. The students had a lot of fun trying to explode from the bottom of the push-up to see if they could clap their hands!

Our next session on April 28, will be our LAST Thrive session for the school year! We will play some games and showcase some of the movements we have learned!

....

Stay tuned to our social media pages to stay-up-to-date on our summer Thrive plans!
