News for the Week of 10/1

Notes from Ms. Rau:
  • Webber Wiggle - Instead of a fun run this year, we will be doing a danceathon! We will have two groups of dancers, one time for the lower el students and a second time for the upper el students.  Every student will receive a Webber t-shirt for participating! The goal is for each student to raise $50.  If they raise $100 they will go to a "secret party" at an offsite location. A Webber Wiggle flyer went home last week. Donation envelopes will come home the day of the dance!
