Good evening Welby Way families,
Lots of goodness happened at Welby Way this weekend. First, we started with an extremely successful POWW Movie Night. It was great to see so many families at Movie Night on Friday evening under the stars with goodies and perfect weather. Next, our beautification event was another great success. I truly want to thank the few families who came out to help our school shine with the clean up in front of the library, in front of a few classrooms, and along the main walkway. Lastly, we had two scout troops help our school shine by bringing our garden back to life with a complete clean up and planting of new plants. I can't wait to watch it flourish over time. Another troop and Welby Way alumni brought privacy slats to our TK/Kindergarten yard. This helps to ensure the safety of our TK and Kindergarten students along with make the yard look amazing. It was such a successful weekend working together to make Welby Way shine! I so appreciate all the efforts of our families and community.
