Welby Way families,
I hope you are all having a positive weekend and beginning of our one week Thanksgiving Break. As it is the season of gratitude and togetherness, I truly want to thank you all for the gift of your child, ongoing support, and partnership as we work together each week so our students can thrive and flourish under the direction of our amazing Welby Way teachers and staff. I am wishing you all a week of good health and joy that will fill your home and heart with happiness during this time and always.
Upon our return to school we have a few events to mark on your calendar:
Book Fair Poster Contest: Your child has the opportunity to participate in our annual Book Fair Poster Contest with the theme "We Love to Read!" using a 22 x 28' poster that will be displayed throughout the school and is due on Wednesday, Nov. 29th. There will be prizes for winners!! More information provided on the attached flier.
Book Fair Details: 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. Check out the link below and attached Principal Letter to set up your e-wallet and check out the upcoming fun book fair events.
