Weekly Update June 22-26, 2015

For the last week of school we have all sorts of activities planned for the students. It's guaranteed to be a fun week for everybody!

Monday: Today is Jersey Day at Willow Park. We asked all the staff and students to wear their favorite team jerseys in honor of Coach Liz's Retirement Celebration. There will be an assembly from 2-3 in the school gymnasium to help Ms. McBlain celebrate her retirement, and we were sure she would love to see all the jerseys! After the assembly there will be a small gathering from 3-5 in the library for anyone wanting to wish Liz all the best.

Tuesday: Tuesday is FUN DAY!! And also Crazy Hair/Hat Day! There will be regular classes in the morning and then the festivities will begin in the afternoon. We are asking all parents to make sure their children are dressed appropriately for the weather - rain or shine.

Wednesday:  After all their hard work on their PATs, and it being their last year at Willow Park, we think our grade 6 students deserve to have their very own Fun Day! Make sure to dress appropriately for any activities planned.

Thursday: In the morning, we will be holding our Awards Ceremony, beginning at 8:40 am in the gym. Today we will be awarding those students who have shown outstanding Citizenship, Effort, and Academic efforts throughout the year. This year we have also added an Athletic category for grades 3-6. We will also be awarding one grade 6 student with the Hal Rogers "Good Citizen" Award.

Right after the Awards Ceremony there will be a Volunteer Appreciation Tea in the library. This is our way of giving back to all the volunteers that have helped our 2014-2015 school year so successful.

In the afternoon, the Kindergarten classes will be enjoying some year-end activities in the gym from 1-2 pm.

Friday: At 10:30 am the Grade 6 Farewell Ceremony will begin. The students will receive their Elementary Scrolls, there will be a slideshow, and the staff will say farewell. All the best in your next chapter, guys!

Mrs. Clarke's Kindergarten class will be heading to Safety City for a field trip.
