Authors' Cocoa
Authors' Cocoa is this coming week. Take a look in your child's Take Home Folder for an invitation inviting YOU and other loved ones to the event. Our older friends will be performing on Thursday, December 19th from 12:30 - 2:00. Come check out their writings and poetry as they perform. We, along with our 1/2 friends will be performing on Friday, December 20th from 1:30 - 3:00. Come listen to us read our poetry. We have been practicing our poetry and working on our fluency skills and public speaking skills.
We are still looking for volunteers to help with set up and tear down on both days as well as a donation of cups to hold hot liquids. Please visit the Authors' Cocoa Sign Up Sheet if you are interested in helping out. We look forward to seeing you there. The Cottontails are very excited!
Favorite Book
Please be sure your child brings in their Favorite Book by Wednesday, December 18th. Kindergarteners had a chance to share their favorite books with each other earlier in the year. Now, we'd like to share our books with our school mates and the Willowwind Community. Please look to the above blog "Library Love" for more information.
Home Language Survey
On Monday, your child will be taking home a letter and two page survey regarding language uses at home. Please fill out at your earliest convenience and return to Amber at the Front Desk no later than January 6th. Please let me know if you have questions.
2014 Spring After School Enrichment Programs
We are now accepting registrations for our 2014 Spring After School Enrichment Programs for preschool through 6th grade students. Learners can participate in classes as diverse as yoga, cooking, art and physics! Click here for class and registration information. If you have any questions, please contact Willowwind's Program Director, Katherine Anderson, at katherinea@willowwind.org. We are looking forward to a great semester of discovery and learning!
The Burrowing Owl Class would appreciate your donation of food for a spaghetti dinner for those in need. A spaghetti dinner would include these nonperishable ingredients: canned fruit, canned vegetables, spaghetti pasta, and tomato sauce. We will be donating these dinners to the food pantry associated with River Community Church. This is a place where people who can’t afford a nice holiday dinner can just walk in and take food to feed their families. Please put all the food you donate in the boxes in the entryway of Willowwind School. The boxes will be there from December 9-December 16. All the food you give will help our community during this holiday season. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
The Willowwind Girl Scout Troop will resume meetings in January. Students will meet on Thursday, January 16th, 30th, and February 13th and 27th at 3:30-4:30pm. Any girls turning five by these dates are welcome to join the troop. Please contact Girl Scout coordinator, Janet Choplick at janetc@girlscoutstoday.org if you are interested.
