This morning, Kindergarten had their annual tour of the Whitesville Fire Hall ! We think there might be some future volunteers in the making here! Thank you to all of our volunteers who made this another memorable training event!
If floors could talk... "According to my math, I've cut through about 100 layers of finish in there." Our kids have enjoyed PE back in the Small Gym this week after several weeks of hard work sanding and refinishing the floor and stage!
Success in school begins with showing up. Your attendance shapes your academic journey!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting the health and well-being of our students, the Wellness Committee would like to remind families about healthy snack options for school. Providing nutritious snacks not only supports your child’s growth and development but also helps them stay focused and energized throughout the day.
Here are some ideas for healthy snacks:
- Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, grapes, berries)
- Vegetables (carrot sticks, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes)
- Whole grain crackers or granola bars
- Low-fat yogurt or cheese sticks
- Nuts or seeds (if permitted by classroom guidelines)
Please avoid snacks high in sugar or processed foods, such as candy or chips, as we aim to create a health-conscious environment for all students.
Thank you for your support in helping us build healthier habits in our school community!
Sincerely,
WCS Wellness Committee

Athletics Update:

Attendance matters! Students who regularly attend school achieve higher scores than students who don't attend. Regular attendance & punctuality are important life skills. By 6th grade, chronic absenteeism becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school. Missing just 2 days a month means a child misses 10 percent of the school year!
