· The fifth grade Science Competition was Wednesday the 20th. Congratulations to Ms. Santillan’s class on their win. Ms. Santillan promised her class if they won she would let the kids cut her hair!

Dear WAYS Community,

Good afternoon friends. Hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep this morning! Personality Day was very exciting at all three campuses. Students dressed up, had parades, got their face painted, bobbed for apples and played games. Many family members joined in the fun and all had a good time. You should have also received your child’s report card on Friday. If you did not, please ask your child’s teacher. Star students of the trimester were recognized on Friday. Congratulations to those students. Our third graders had a great trip to the Discovery Museum where they were able to see a special exhibit on Ripley’s Believe it or not.

This week our scholars will take their second grammar exams. Mr. Cabil has been preparing the students along with their regular classroom teachers. On Friday, I hope you will join me once again for the monthly Coffee with the Principal, this month at Manchester. Read more…
