Weiss Elementary School

🦃🍂 Thanksgiving is around the corner, and we’re excited to share a special project for our Weiss students! Our teachers are inviting students to join a meaningful activity that promotes gratitude and community by helping others in need. This project aligns with our Social Studies curriculum under Citizens in Action and gives children a unique chance to show appreciation for their family and people in their lives. 💖 All proceeds from this project will go toward purchasing items for local families in need this Christmas season. 🎄 If you need more Turkey Grams, just let your student’s classroom teacher know! Thank you for helping us make a difference! -Mrs. Pidgeon💕

We are so happy to have a Watch D.O.G. today!

Hello Families, We want to inform you that our Weiss Wildcat Warrior Challenge has been rescheduled to November 14th. It will not take place tomorrow. The decision to reschedule stems from the campaign starting later than we had anticipated, which could partly explain the current lower registration and fundraising totals. By extending the timeframe for registration and fundraising, we hope to better support our PTO in reaching its fundraising goals and ensuring a successful budget for this year. A new volunteer link will be shared soon, so please keep an eye out for that. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at weisselementarypto@gmail.com. Thank you for your understanding and support! Best, Weiss Elementary PTO

📣 Reminder: There’s a PTO meeting tonight at 6 PM! 🗓️ NHS students from Carlson will be on-site to watch the kiddos, so parents can attend the meeting worry-free. Hope to see you there! 😊

Unity Day - 10/16/2024 Wednesday 10/16 is Unity day & we'd like to encourage all of our Weiss students to wear orange to help celebrate! If you don’t have an orange shirt, you can wear one that promotes kindness, acceptance, or inclusion, or any other shirt that helps remind you to be kind for any reason that resonates with you! Unity Day is an annual event occurring during National Bullying Prevention Month that promotes joining together to create healthier communities through kindness, acceptance of difference, and inclusion. Why unity? For years, bullying was justified with expressions such as, “Bullying is a natural part of childhood,” “Bullying makes kids tougher,” or “Bullying is a rite of passage.” The goal of Unity Day is to bring together youth, parents, educators, businesses, and community members across the nation to emphasize the message that bullying is not acceptable, and that all students deserve to be safe in school, online, and in the community Why the color orange? Unity Day is celebrated in October, and orange is a color commonly identified with the month and the autumn season. It is also a color that is associated with safety and visibility. It is a color described as warm and inviting, and its vibrancy makes an impactful statement. Why just a day? The event provides a catalyst for everyone to come together with a visual statement that our actions matter not only on one day, but every day.

Great news, Wildcat families! We’ve extended the registration deadline for the Wildcat Warrior Challenge! We want to make sure every student has the chance to participate in the exciting obstacle course on Thursday, October 24th. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to support our school and cheer on your student as they take on the challenge! Register here: https://weisselementarypto.ptboard.com/formvw/store... Let’s make this year’s event the best one yet! 🐾🎉
