Wednesday's Parents as Partners event at Funland Skating Center was a huge success! The kids really looked forward to this in the days leading up. Thank you to all of our families who came out with us!
A special thank you to all of the WCS Staff who have volunteered to pull these special nights together each month! Our Parents as Partners Program offers a great opportunity to get out as a family, and we couldn't do it without our dedicated team! You rock, Blue Jays! 💙🤍💙
🍽March is National Nutrition Month🍽 Everyone is so busy, but you can still eat healthy, even "on the run." 🚗 Here are tips on how to eat healthier when "eating out": 1. Bring healthy snacks along in the car that the kids have picked out and prepared -- cut up vegetables, whole fruit, nuts or sunflower seeds, and protein bars. 🥕🍏 2. Think ahead and plan where you will eat. Pick a place with healthier options. 3. Choose grilled over breaded, baked or broiled over fried. 4. Order the child size portion or an appetizer instead of a main course. 5. Split dessert or order fresh fruit with whipped cream for dessert.🍓 6. Hold up on eating bread or chips before your meal is served. 📣Remember, eating healthier leads to a happier and healthy YOU!☺
The Leprechaun painted the halls green here at WCS today!
It's that time of year! Pre-K Registration packets are available by calling the main office or stopping in! Registration will be April 23rd with screening being held on May 21st.
The weather cooperated JUST long enough for our Prek to really explore their light unit!
Today our Cafe Blue Jay served Lasagna with fresh parsley from Nature Club's hydroponic tower garden. Everyone enjoyed the fresh parsley treat!
Breakfast Club this morning tasked our older Blue Jays with contemplating what their best traits are as a friend. In order to have a friend you need to be a friend, so their task was to write in their journals what they thought their best traits are and to be thinking about what they could add to their lists!
This week, our older classes focused on math and science skills in Outdoor Education. They learned how to find the diameter of a tree and how to identify Maples and their sugar content. (You may have noticed their sap bucket on the Maple in front of the school!) The kids also got to taste test sap at 2 levels of syrup!

⏰Have you caught up on your sleep from losing an hour for daylight savings time? At WCS, we know that sleep is just as important to our students' health as good nutrition🍎 and physical activity. 🏃♀️ Too little sleep is bad for our health and raises the risk for type 2 diabetes, even for kids. Eatright.org talks about how important sleep is to kids and gives us tips on how to prioritize getting enough sleep. https://www.eatright.org/health/wellness/healthful-habits/how-sleep-habits-affect-healthy-weight

📚 Our week ended with a fun PJ day and reading in the hallway to wrap up our Read Across America week! While the reading won't end here, this week is a great opportunity to remind ourselves that we CAN make time for reading and find fun ways to explore the pages!
🎉📖 Congratulations going out to these 5th grade boys for completing their daily Read Across America challenge packets this week! They earned an award and a special sweet treat! 🏅🍫
To celebrate Read Across America Week, Mrs. Lowe’s Pre-K/K music class read the book "Song Garden" on Tuesday. After the story, students created their own “sound gardens” by drawing flowers on the music staff. Once their gardens were complete, Mrs. Lowe played their melodies on the piano so they could hear how their creations sounded!
Reading can "bring out your wild side" or it can "take you places," like into the lives of our famous people! It's also a great way to share adventures with our family and friends. A big shout out to our guest readers so far! Mrs. K Coleman and Mrs. J Coleman both came in to share a story with our Littles!
Read Across America took each of our classes across town today! Our students met with senior citizens to partner up and read together to share the joy of reading!
🌟🏀 SPREAD THE WORD🏀🌟
Andover is trying to secure spectator busses that would leave both schools to help with transportation to Friday's Varsity Boys Section V Championship game! However, we need a head count of interested people by the END of the school day tomorrow, THURSDAY, March 5th!
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED in riding this spectator bus, print the attached form and return it to whichever school you would plan to leave from. These forms will also be available in the main office of each school!
After you return the form, we will get a head count to Andover by the end of the school day so they can determine if two busses is feasible. In the event we do NOT have enough Whitesville people, there will ONLY be one bus leaving Andover, so please be prepared for both options!
After you return your form, you will be given a ticket for the bus ride, so be sure to bring these tickets to the bus Friday!
PLEASE NOTE: Children under Grade 7 MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult! There will be a chaperone attending for students in Grades 7-12th that wish to ride.
📚 Reading Buddies helped us kick-off Read Across America week yesterday!🧸 Then, because "reading makes you bright", Pre-k pulled out the shades to read in style today! 😎
Tomorrow we'll have some extra special moments to share... Keep reading, Blue Jays!
