Whitesville Central School

This week, our older classes focused on math and science skills in Outdoor Education. They learned how to find the diameter of a tree and how to identify Maples and their sugar content. (You may have noticed their sap bucket on the Maple in front of the school!) The kids also got to taste test sap at 2 levels of syrup!

LISTEN LIVE: My Team Media Network will be providing a FREE audio stream of the Andover-Whitesville Boys Basketball Far West Regional game on Friday from Buffalo State!

They will go on the air around 7:50pm. You can listen by going to myteamstream.net.

⏰Have you caught up on your sleep from losing an hour for daylight savings time? At WCS, we know that sleep is just as important to our students' health as good nutrition🍎 and physical activity. 🏃‍♀️ Too little sleep is bad for our health and raises the risk for type 2 diabetes, even for kids. Eatright.org talks about how important sleep is to kids and gives us tips on how to prioritize getting enough sleep. https://www.eatright.org/health/wellness/healthful-habits/how-sleep-habits-affect-healthy-weight

📚 Our week ended with a fun PJ day and reading in the hallway to wrap up our Read Across America week! While the reading won't end here, this week is a great opportunity to remind ourselves that we CAN make time for reading and find fun ways to explore the pages!

🎉📖 Congratulations going out to these 5th grade boys for completing their daily Read Across America challenge packets this week! They earned an award and a special sweet treat! 🏅🍫

To celebrate Read Across America Week, Mrs. Lowe’s Pre-K/K music class read the book "Song Garden" on Tuesday. After the story, students created their own “sound gardens” by drawing flowers on the music staff. Once their gardens were complete, Mrs. Lowe played their melodies on the piano so they could hear how their creations sounded!

Reading can "bring out your wild side" or it can "take you places," like into the lives of our famous people! It's also a great way to share adventures with our family and friends. A big shout out to our guest readers so far! Mrs. K Coleman and Mrs. J Coleman both came in to share a story with our Littles!

Read Across America took each of our classes across town today! Our students met with senior citizens to partner up and read together to share the joy of reading!

🌟🏀 SPREAD THE WORD🏀🌟 Andover is trying to secure spectator busses that would leave both schools to help with transportation to Friday's Varsity Boys Section V Championship game! However, we need a head count of interested people by the END of the school day tomorrow, THURSDAY, March 5th! IF YOU'RE INTERESTED in riding this spectator bus, print the attached form and return it to whichever school you would plan to leave from. These forms will also be available in the main office of each school! After you return the form, we will get a head count to Andover by the end of the school day so they can determine if two busses is feasible. In the event we do NOT have enough Whitesville people, there will ONLY be one bus leaving Andover, so please be prepared for both options! After you return your form, you will be given a ticket for the bus ride, so be sure to bring these tickets to the bus Friday! PLEASE NOTE: Children under Grade 7 MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult! There will be a chaperone attending for students in Grades 7-12th that wish to ride.

📚 Reading Buddies helped us kick-off Read Across America week yesterday!🧸 Then, because "reading makes you bright", Pre-k pulled out the shades to read in style today! 😎 Tomorrow we'll have some extra special moments to share... Keep reading, Blue Jays!

This afternoon our two Odyssey of the Mind teams competed for an opportunity to move on to States! Teams created solutions to a problem, solving the problem through a skit, with one team using poetry and the other building a structure to sustain weight. Teams will be notified of results early next week. Today was all about taking risks, boosting confidence, leadership, teamwork, neverending friendships and having fun! We're pretty confident that our OMers had a great day!
