Wood County Schools: Distribution of Wi-Fi hotspots to qualifying families will end at 3 p.m. April 15. Information on end-of-year collection of hotspots will be released in the coming weeks. All hotspots must be returned by the end of the 2021-22 school year.
Good evening families. I would like to ask your help in keeping our children safe at drop-off and dismissal. First, if you are dropping off and picking up in front of the school, please use the drop off line. It is unsafe to have cars passing other cars and cutting through the parking lot. Second, if you need to enter the building, please park and come to the office. When parking, please use parking spaces. Do not park beside of the yellow poles in the parking lot. Third, please be mindful of your speed in the parking lot. People and small children are traveling all directions and we want everyone to stay safe. Thank you and have a great evening.

January and February Family Writing Project
In honor of President's Day, our January and February Writing Project will focus on learning about the White House. I have posted three videos in the news section of our school website and on Facebook. Please watch the videos with your kids and complete the writing assignment that is coming home this week. The writing project ask you to record 3 things you learned, 2 U.S. Presidents, and 1 room or thing that you would change about the White House for future first families. Projects are due January 18. All students who submit an accurate and completed project will be entered in a $20 drawing for a fast food gift card of choice. I am looking forward to reading your projects.
Last Thursday we celebrated learning in a big way!
Katie Carroll has been our student teacher since August. She did an amazing job! Due to COVID, WVUP, wasn't able to hold a formal graduation, so we did it Falcon style. I also took the opportunity to talk to students about hopes, dreams, and the future. Thank you Mrs. Carroll. We will see you soon!
Mrs. Buchanan's KG students have been hard at work this fall. Check out what they have learned and what they want to learn after Christmas break. I can't wait to see their progress!
Don't forget to send in pennies for our penny war. All proceeds to to the Humane Society. Students are using the pennies to vote for their favorite Christmas trees.
Also, tomorrow evening from 5:00-7:00 families may visit the building and see all of the trees. Penny votes will be accepted during this time.
Thank you Suttle & Stalnaker! For the last few years, Suttle & Stalnaker have invited us the participate in their annual Thanksgiving Card Contest. Students are asked to illustrate "What Thanksgiving Means to Them". The grand prize winner has their picture placed on a card that Suttle & Stalnaker sends out to their clients. Congratulations Riot Godfrey. Our runners-up included Emily Thomas, Aubrey Stone, Samuel Borchert.
Congratulations to Addison Ferguson! She was our December Family Writing Activity Winner. She has requested a $20 Gift Card to Chick-fil-a.
We will be doing a January/February Writing activity when we get back from break.
Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to turn in your December Family Writing Project! I'll be posting pictures soon.
