Good evening Welby Way families,
I hope you are all enjoying a safe and relaxing rainy weekend as we head into a week of parent conferences. Please remember that dismissal will be at 1:40 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday (regular dismissal). I hope you have the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher to celebrate your child's successes and discuss areas of focus for the next part of the school year.
Please note: There will be no Monday Morning Assembly tomorrow due to parent conferences.

🍫 See’s Candy Fundraiser
The holidays are right around the corner—and what better way to celebrate than with See’s Candy! Support our 5th grade by ordering through December 5th. Ordering information is available on the attached flyer, and all orders will be shipped directly to your home.
💻 Computer Science Club Update
Thank you for your child’s interest in joining the Computer Science Club! We received many applications and, unfortunately, were unable to select all students for this session. Families of selected students have already received confirmation emails.
We truly appreciate all students’ enthusiasm for technology and encourage them to continue exploring computer science. Future opportunities will be available, so please consider applying again next time.
Thank you for supporting your child’s love of learning and innovation!

Pennies for Change (Nov. 17–21):
POWW will be collecting spare change to benefit our local food bank, HOPE The Mission. Each class will have a donation jar, and the class that collects the most will win $150 in Scholastic books from the Book Fair!
Encourage your child to contribute some of their piggy bank savings to help those in need. This is a meaningful way for students to see how even small acts can make a big difference in our community.
📚 The Scholastic Book Fair Is Coming!
The Book Fair will be held in the library December 1–5. Join us after school each day to shop books and gifts for all ages.
Review the attached flyers for special events like Moms & Muffins on Tuesday @ 7:30 am, Dads & Donuts on Thursday @ 7:30 am, and the Grand Event on Friday @ 2:30 pm, plus a poster contest with fun prizes! Posters are due on Dec. 1st when we return from the one week break. I can't wait to see the creativity that will be submitted.
