CELEBRATIONS! Great things are happening at WCS! In PE our students are working hard on laps and cardiovascular fitness. Their goal is to earn their first bracelet which is awarded at 1,000 laps for grades 3-5 and 500 laps for grades K-2. The leading class headed into this week was Mrs. Moran’s 5th grade at 471 class laps thus far. The middle school has started earning bracelets for self-improvement in our cardiovascular fitness tests. If students are able to improve their times and give maximum effort they earn a bracelet. It has been great seeing students improve and really take ownership of their fitness. Thank you to our PTA for supporting these bracelets and promoting a reward that is attainable for all of our students. |

CLOTHING FOR WEATHER
With the weather changing every day, please make sure you prepare for the day’s weather conditions with clothing: Light rain, colder temperatures, and warmer temperatures. We will brave the “light rain” as often as possible so students can enjoy recess and outdoor mask breaks. Dressing in layers is a great way to help students adjust and stay prepared for any type of weather!
