Yesterday's Breakfast Club with Prek through 2nd grades recapped their theme of having a positive vision. Yesterday they added the importance of having a positive attitude too! Even when things aren't going well or you're just having a bad day, trying to smile despite it all may be the start in turning it all around!

Today after school, Nature Club took a short hike to a local creek observing nature as the season changes. They were able to write and draw in their Nature journals. In addition, each student selected a small rock to paint, with creativity in mind. Next week, students will paint their rocks and create a nature inspired Halloween craft!

WCS Fire Prevention Week wrapped up with our Whitesville Volunteer Firefighters spending much of their day with our students! Pre-k and Kindergarten visited the fire station first thing this morning to explore the trucks, firemen gear, and experience the power of the water hoses! The firemen then joined several of our classes for lunch, which our kids absolutely love! Then they returned in the afternoon for their annual presentation on the lawn. The kids showed off what they've learned about lithium-ion batteries (this year's Fire Prevention theme), learned more about firemen's gear, their training process, and talked further about what to do in case of a fire. They then presented cash prizes to the poster contest winners and allowed everyone to explore the trucks in depth! We cannot thank our volunteer firemen enough for taking time out of their days these past weeks to put all of this together for our students! In the words of our students' thank you cards "Thank you for keeping our community safe!"

October 14th will be the next WCS Board of Education Meeting!
Please note, Regular Meeting times have changed to 6:30pm instead of the previous 7:00pm.
Yesterday, Mrs. Levitt's Breakfast Club talked about the importance of having positive short term and long term visions. As adults, we often assume kids know how to set goals and have visions for their futures, however, many children need guidance learning how to narrow these down as they get older. Some struggle to recognize their own positive skills in order to see the bigger vision for themselves. Breakfast Club is a way to help our students discuss these concepts, share ideas in a safe environment, and continue thinking and working on these themes and ideas in their classrooms and at home!
