Good evening Welby Way families,
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Glow Tiki Party! The event was an incredible success, filled with joy, glowing smiles, and community spirit. We are especially grateful to Adrian Colvin and the amazing POWW parent volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring this magical evening to life. Thanks to your efforts and generosity, we raised valuable funds to support the beginning of EnrichLA Garden, which will soon blossom into a hands-on learning space for our students.
As we celebrate this community win, we also turn our focus to the academic success of our students. 3rd - 5th grade SBA testing begins this week (except for Mrs. Fishman's class). 5th grade begins on Monday and 3rd and 4th start on Tuesday. I know all students will do their very best. Families, please help set your child up for success by ensuring they:
-
Get a full night's rest
-
Eat a healthy breakfast
-
Arrive at school on time, every day
Final Yearbook Reminder: Create your custom pages for this year's yearbook, which is due on May 8th. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
Coffee with the Principal - On Thursday at 8:30 am, please join Ms. Johanna, our wellness coach, Ms. Klein, our parent rep, and me as we review cybersecurity and provide tools for families for the transition to middle school.
5th Grade VEX Competition - I want to wish our 5th-grade VEX students the best of luck this week. On Thursday at 3:15 pm at Nestle Elementary, our VEX team will be competing in the final VEX competition.
Orchestra Concert: Our after-school orchestra enrichment will have its concert on Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Families will enter through the back of the auditorium. I know the students will do an amazing job after a school year of hard work.
Snack Shack - On Friday, the 5th grade will be hosting snack shack after school.
Lastly, I want to thank all our families in advance for going out of their way to make this week's Teacher Appreciation extra special for all our amazing Welby Way teachers and staff. Your thoughtfulness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
I hope you all have a wonderful evening and the remainder of the weekend. Let’s finish the year strong, together, as I thank you for your partnership, support, and the gift of your child! This is all for now.
Your Welby Way Principal,
Mrs. DaCorsi
