Welcome back, families!

Reminders:  Week of Sept. 10-14
 
If you are interested in a hot lunch for your child on Wed., Sept. 12, send $3.60  on Monday morning, 9/10.  We have to collect and turn $ in that day.(cheeseburger, fruit cup, chips)
Additional charge of .50 if child would like bottled water.

Communication folders will go home weekly.  You will recieve:  a share schedule, walk-around-sun schedule, hot lunch schedule, hot lunch envelope, snack envelope, Sept. news, etc.. Please respond and return the folder the next day.
 
Your child will need black slippers by this week.  These stay at school, in cubbie.
 
Orientation/staggered start went very well.  We will continue to practice and help your child build upon these lessons. Car pool is going well.  Remember, we must be very brief, so if you need to speak with us, plan on coming in earlier or call and we can schedule a time to meet with you.
 
Lunch is going great!  Remember, hot lunch is an option, as well as, snack.  Just call, email or send a note if your child's diet calls for them to bring their own snack.  That is fine.  Also, we cannot heat your child's meals, so please send things that are in containers that they can open themselves.  We are in the process of accessing allergies of students and will need to update you as to which foods we may need to stay away from as a class. Thank you for understanding.
 
Picture Day is Wed., Sept. 12, uniforms please and 3-6 usually is scheduled first thing in morning. All of our student's uniforms look great! Shoes must follow policy, as well.

Thank you for the generous supplies,
We appreciate your support,

WMPCS: Eco-lodge and class room needs

Hey parents,

Friday's field trip will be to the little known ECO Lodge in Blounts Creek. This environmental education center on the south side of the Pamlico River near Blounts Creek is provided by the Boy Scouts for Scouts, school, community groups and the citizens of eastern North Carolina. The ECO Lodge was made possible by a generous grant from PotashCorp of Aurora. You can learn more about the facility by linking here: http://www.ecolodgenc.com/

I haven’t been but I’ve heard some pretty amazing stories about the facility. Honestly, I'm kind of jealous. Seth, my dear sweet husband, will accompany Sophia on tomorrow's excursion. He gets all the good field trips.

Directions from WMPCS to the ECO Lodge can be found here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=2330+Old+Bath+Hwy,+Washington,+NC&daddr=419+Camp+Bonner+Boy+Scout+Rd,+Blounts+Creek,+NC+27814&hl=en&geocode=FVxLHgIdjmJp-ym1ixvubj2viTFG8P45u67hWw%3BFTW0HAIdAuNp-ymDWXPVuzuviTH9t-Il7iTU2Q&aq=&sll=35.4359,-76.946676&sspn=0.008741,0.021393&vpsrc=0&gl=us&g=419+Camp+Bonner+Boy+Scout+Rd,+Blounts+Creek,+NC+27814&mra=ls&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=12&dirflg=d

In other news the classroom is in need of the following items:
- Large bottle of Hand Sanitizer

- Liquid dish detergent

In order to avoid making dinner, we'll be at the middle school's Pancake Supper tonight. Slapcakes will be served from 4-7pm at First Church of Christ, off 10th Street in Little W. $5 will get you through the door.

Hope to see you there,

Bianca
