🚨 Weather Alert Reminder 🌪️
As we prepare for the impending weather tomorrow, we want to remind our school community about the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning:

🔹 Tornado Warning – Take action! A tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar. Seek shelter immediately.
Let's all stay informed and safe. 💙 #WPPSafety #StayWeatherAware

During Black History Month, 1st grade students listened to the story Change Sings by Amanda Gorman, an American poet and activist. Students brainstormed ideas on how they, even at a young age, could change the world as the girl did in the story. Ideas flowed from helping a friend to picking up trash on the playground. Students then were able to create their own paper guitar to show how change sings in them.

During Dental Health Month, let’s take a moment to remember the importance of caring for our teeth! Brush for two minutes, floss, and drink plenty of water to keep your teeth shining on a daily basis.
Remember: Healthy habits lead to bright smiles! 😁🪥
