Along with Teaching and Learning, the Activity Level Continues at WHS

Over the past two weeks, we have had quite a bit of activity here at Woodland Heights.  We have enjoyed two enrichment assemblies (Larry Frates – Anti-bullying, Odd Bodkin – Storytelling), two emergency response drills (Drop, cover, and Hold On, and Lock-Down), our first School Spirit Assembly (Project Wildcat, Student Recognition), a couple of field trips (Grades 2 & 5), our annual Harvest Day activities held just yesterday, and grades for Quarter #1 closing today.  Also, there has been a good deal of excitement about the success of our Boston Red Sox throughout their playoff run (and some pretty serious beard growing, as well). 

WHS Outstanding Students for Quarter #1 -- October, 2013

 

Though some weeks are quieter than others, there is always a great deal of activity in our rich and dynamic Woodland Heights School community – and all of it really, really good for kids.

Here is the big news for the next couple of weeks:  WHS Book Fair opens on Monday, City Elections on Tuesday, Quarter #1 Progress Reports go home this Wednesday (not on Monday, as previously announced), WHS will make a presentation to the Laconia School Board about our community engagement program that evening, Parent Conferences on Thursday (with a series of presentations by the Family Resource Center – see the article on the back of this page for more information), and school will be closed in observance of Veterans Day on the 11^th.  We’ll also be conducting a school evacuation (fire) drill in the next two weeks and hold our November PTO meeting on the evening of the 12^th (6:30pm.).

We continue to move quickly here at WHS.  To stay on top of the action, read our newsletters (published every other Friday) and visit our school website often (www.laconiaschools.org/whs) – where there is a ton of information about our school, updated continuously.
