FWR – The weekly memo is provided to keep everyone on the same page about issues, events and activities. The expectation is that anyone involved in Washington’s activities should at least skim the memo to make sure you’re aware of what is going on (prior week, next week or down the road). I feel this beats a weekly meeting, but would encourage input if you feel that a weekly meeting would be a more productive way to disseminate information.
5th Grade Music Program was great! The kids looked professional and sang wonderfully. Congrats to Ms. Mann and thanks to the 5th grade teachers who helped put the “nifty” props into the “Nifty Fifty” song. You must have done well in elementary art growing up! The 5th graders will present two songs to the 4th grade Monday at 2:15 pm. I will continue to post pictures from the program & some videos on the website (http://wistigers.blogspot.com/).
Science Fair - Teanna Pafford (5-2) took “Best of Show” in the 3-5 division. Her project was titled “Popcorn Madness.” Washington contestants in the 3-5 division receiving a third place ribbon included Cassie Vrabel and Sydnee Esaias. Receiving second place ribbons were Vincent Breedlove, Chase Rea, and Brenna Craig. First place ribbons were awarded to Grace Blomstedt and Jamie Storesund. My wife, boys, and I though the projects were great and the kids did a nice job!

Local Wellness Policy – Repeat announcement….The state department completed a review of our local wellness policy and food service operations. Under areas needing more work, it sited “withholding recess and PE to complete class work or as discipline is not recommended.” Refer to the Demo Schools February News, Notes & Wellness newsletter located in the lounge for rationale and alternatives.” Possibly a good discussion for your team – I would be glad to sit in. Full report is available in the lounge. Another study with useful suggestions can be found by clicking here.
