Our fourth grade students decided to make Valentines's cards for the residents at Waynesburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. Tuesday night, several fourth grade families distributed the cards. There were smiles all around!
Second-grade students in Miss Pinto's class thoroughly enjoyed immersing themselves in the engaging activity "Read it, Write it, Bead it" today. They eagerly rotated roles, with some students decoding words on popsicle sticks while their peers wrote the word onto their doodle pads. Upon successfully reading a word, students selected a vibrant bead to add to their bracelets. These students will proudly wear their bracelets, exuding both style and confidence, a testament to their exceptional reading skills.
Students,

Mr. Sakai
On Friday, third graders completed a Classroom Champions activity to explore how communication, collaboration, and cooperation contribute to a strong classroom community. Together, they created a web to symbolize their connections, with each person sharing what they believe makes a strong classroom community. 🕸️🕸️

Mrs. ❤️’s Class enjoyed a Celebration for the 100th Day of Kindergarten this week. We celebrated with 100 piece trail mix, 100 Day Posters, Building structures with 100 solo cups, making Fruit loop necklaces, pattern Block 100’s, How many exercises we could do in 100 seconds, and painting using groups of 10 dots to make 100. We finished off our week by dressing like we were 100 and doing an experiment “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop more or less than 100?” It was a great way to celebrate being 100 Days Smarter!

ATTENTION PARENTS OF JUNIORS & SENIORS
Your child will be making a lot of post-secondary decisions in the coming months. Please check to be sure you have an official Social Security Card and Birth Certificate in safe keeping for them. It is easier to get replacements before your child turns 18 and before they are in a situation that they need them quickly. If you need assistance getting replacements, please contact Ms. Sheri Garlick at garlicks@wgsd.org.
We are still accepting Valentine's Day Orders if you have not gotten yours in yet! Please complete the google form and we will send you an invoice.

I would like to thank everyone at West Greene for helping the NHS complete another successful fund drive for the Greene County Humane Society in honor of Dr. Jones. With the help of our friends in the elementary center we were able to raise $450.
