VMEA
District VI Winter Music Festival
Congratulations
to Daniel
Dexter, Christina Gregory, Gideon Spikes, Skylar Swan, and Olivia
Turney for
their phenomenal performances at the VMEA District VI Winter Music
Festival. These five students -- the ONLY 5 selected from the
entire Supervisory Union -- began working to prepare their audition
music as early as last spring. On Friday and Saturday, they
worked for many long hours with conductor Jim Derby and the other
members of the District Concert Band. The concert on February 8
was AMAZING! It's not often that 7th graders have the
dedication to work towards a goal for so long... but OURS do!
Congratulations to all of them!
April
5, 2014 Penny Sale at WS
Dear
WS 7th Grade Parents,
We
are busy getting ready for the April 5th Penny Sale, sponsored by
PTA, in an effort to help our 7th graders raise money for their 8th
grade class trip to Boston! Reminder: Please do not
approach businesses for a donation unless they have been approved
FIRST by the PTA. It is very important to use the contact list
phone numbers prior to asking for a donation from a business. Please
check the donation list at the school weekly; BJ will always have an
updated list! If you have any questions, please call Kelly O'Brien at
263-5373. Also, please let Kelly or BJ know if there is a
business that wants to make a donation, but is not on the list.
Thanks
so much,
WS
PTA
Weathersfield
School Science Fair
Parents,
friends and community members are invited to the Annual Weathersfield
School Science Fair which will be held on Thursday, February 27, 2014
from 6:00 to 6:30 pm in the school all-purpose room.
The annual science fair is the culminating event in science for the
graduating 8th grade
class. Students have been working on a scientific investigation
of their own choosing since September. Come and see the answers
to such questions as: “Is there radiation around us?”; “Are
Dog Mouths Cleaner Than Human Mouths?”; “Which is Most Efficient:
Wind or Solar Power?”; and “ Can a Compost Pile be Used to Heat
Water?” We hope to see you there!
Talent
Show
Our
Drama Club is sponsoring a Talent Show on the same night as the
Science Fair, (back to back, so plan to spend a few hours with us on
the 27th!). The Talent Show starts at 7:00 pm in the gym. Wait
until you see the roster of talent! There are a few funny
surprises in store, too.
