A message from WELBY WAY EL Cht Sch

Good evening Welby Way families,

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend as many of our Welby Way students have been busy this weekend with Math Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind.  Two of our Math Olympiad students Stuti and Debasmita won a silver award and Odyssey of the Mind students worked extra hard with one of our teams moving onto the Worlds Competition.   I am so proud of the determination and hard work of all our Welby Way teams and students.

This Week:

Annual School Experience Survey:   Please take a few minutes to complete the Annual School Experience Survey using the following link:  https://www.lausd.org/SES.  This information is used for compliance, planning for the following school year, and allows us to know what we are doing well and any areas of need.   Thank you for your time and input.  Only one survey per family is requested and all students whose family submits the confirmation form to your classroom teacher via email or paper will receive a special "Bedazzle" for an ice cream party.  

No Karate or FocusFish Theater after school this week.  

THANK YOU - Thank you to the many families who donated items for the 5th grade Legacy Project as they will  be assembling their kits this upcoming weekend to help support those in need or unhoused.   Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated.
