Notes from Ms. Rau
- Hat Day -Webber Elementary School invites you to help the victims of Hurricane Dorian! On Thursday, September 19th, we will be raising money for ShelterBox to help them support those that were affected by the recent hurricane. Students and staff that donate $1 or more can wear a hat to school on this day. The Rotary Club of Lake Orion will match every dollar that Webber raises. Thank you for your support!
- Take Home Book Bags - You may notice your students reading level has remained the same as their end of the year kindergarten level or it may have dropped due to summer slide. Please spend 20 minutes reading these books each night. Some of this time can include you reading to them as well, modeling fluency and expression. When your child has read the 8 enclosed books several times please send the envelope back in their backpack so they can get new books. These books are at their independent level and are not meat to be frustrational. Thank you!
- Change of Clothes - Please send in a labeled gallon size ziplock bag with a change of clothes for your student to keep in their locker.
