I have several updates to see you through the end of this calendar year. Check them out below and be in touch with questions.
Holiday Gift Exchange
The Owl-Wolf Holiday Gift Exchange begins this Thursday, Dec. 15. Please have your child bring a homemade gift for Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Be sure to include clues to the giver's identity! We will have our Secret Giver reveal gathering on Wednesday, Dec. 21. Children will give their final gift, either a toy or book valued at $5 or less, at this time. Your child has been given a survey completed by their gift recipient to help guide homemade gifts. Please contact me if anything is unclear.
Authors' Cocoa
I am so excited to share your children's incredible writings with you at our upcoming celebration of student authors. I encourage you to join your child at the Old Capitol Town Center as they present original writings at our annual Authors' Cocoa on Tuesday, December 20th. Please see the classroom blog posted 12.01.16 for more information. To celebrate their hard work, we also encourage you to meet your child downtown for lunch (11:30-12:30). Interested in taking your child out to eat during this hour? In honor of Authors' Cocoa, Jimmy Jack's Rib Shack (located in the Old Capitol Town Center and a restaurant owned by two Willowwind families) is donating $2 of each lunch meal ordered on December 20th directly to Willowwind. Simply mention "Willowwind School" to be sure Willowwind receives the donation. Just let your child's classroom teacher know that you plan to go out to eat. Thank you for your support and thank you Jimmy Jack's for the wonderful Authors' Cocoa partnership.
In order to plan the remainder of our school day, please email me at [email protected] to confirm if your child will leave with you after the event, or if they will return to school with me. Thank you in advance!
Yearbook Club: Follow Up Survey
Thank you for your responses to the Yearbook Club survey. I have narrowed our meeting options down to two, both of which received the highest number of votes. Please complete the survey linked here to help me make a final decision. I'm excited to get this club started in the new year!
Wolf Cafe - EARN FREE CAFE MEALS!:
Hi parents, it's The Wolf Cafe! One of the reasons the restaurants who support us can give us such good prices on our food is by asking us to pick up our catering, rather than delivering it to Willowwind. We are looking for your help. We are hoping you can sign up for picking up food from our partner restaurants (Jimmy Jack's, Pancheros, Z'Mariks, and The Wedge) for serving. If you have signed up, you will pick up our food from our caterers and deliver it to Willowwind School at 11:15 AM. A link for the sign up sheet is below. Thanks for helping! As a thank you for your help, we invite you to join us for a free lunch on the day you pick up. If you prefer, your free meal can be given to your child or donated to another student or teacher.
Wolf Cafe Pick Up schedule
Sincerely,
Wolf Cafe
P.S. from Rachel: I'll email you a reminder and directions for pick up the day before you're scheduled. Thank you so much for your help!
