Friday, October 17, 2025: Our WCS Parents as Partners Program will offer "Halloween Crafts" from 5-6:30 in the WCS Cafeteria! Please plan to join us with your child(ren)! All materials will be supplied!
What is Parents as Partners?
WCS believes that parents are essential contributors to their child’s learning and development. The goal of our Parents as Partners program is to build strong school-family-community partnerships to enhance student achievement, creativity and character.
Parents as Partners is a new program at WCS designed to offer parents an active, engaged collaboration time within the school setting which supports their child’s social-emotional development and education.
Each month, WCS will host a Parent as Partners event that involves creativity and collaboration with your child(ren). We will offer hands-on fun learning experiences, that provide our families structured time to wonder, explore and grow together. We sure hope your family can make it!

October 5-11th, is Fire Prevention Week with the theme of “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.” The focus on lithium-ion batteries aims to better educate the public on how to buy, charge, and dispose of them safely. Our students have been learning about how to safely take care of their rechargeable devices by making posters in art class. This week will continue to revolve around Fire Safety, ending with our Whitesville Volunteer Firefighters giving their annual presentation to our students. This is a great opportunity to talk with your children about Fire Safety plans in your home as well!

4th Grade had a personal narrative party! What's a personal narrative party, you ask? First, they read "Small Steps," a personal narrative by Peg Kehret sharing her experience of having polio. To extend their awareness of polio and make connections to their reading, they enjoyed chocolate milk while presenting their own personal narratives, because chocolate milk was the only thing Peg Kehret could drink! Then they wrapped up their Friday by playing Candy Land, which is a game created by a teacher who also had polio!

Mrs. Emery's Breakfast Club group this morning brain stormed their beginning concepts of "We before me": 'W'ork hard and 'E'ffort were today's topics. Every student has a journal that they will be capturing their ideas in. This morning they had to come up with three examples in their journals of how they can demonstrate hard work and effort in their lives. These concepts then carry over as a reminder of what they should be striving for as the day continues! Thank you, Mrs. Emery!

Our Outdoor Education classes spent time today searching for each of their "nests" along the nature trail. Their nest areas will act as their outdoor classroom, while other areas will be communal for all classes. Already, they've listened to Blue Jays in the trees to know if there's movement in the area, they've learned about the importance of seeds, nuts, and other parts of nature along the trail for birds to gather and prepare for the winter months, and they spent the second half of their time creating all of the different shades of blue to paint their own Blue Jays!

Fall is absolutely beautiful here at WCS with the colors on the trees, the trees speckling the hills, the hills rolling through the valley, and the valley filling up with leaves, apples, and pumpkins! This time of year provides so many opportunities for classes to explore and create! Ms. Stevbins took her 3rd grade on a “leaf hunt” using their power of observation to look for many common leaf speices. Mrs. Matteson-Perkins' and Mrs. Clarkes' Morning Craft & Board Game Club has been a huge hit with the kids excited each week to see what fall item they will be making! We can't thank our teachers enough for providing these opportunities for the kids!
