Field Day- June 11th We’re getting ready for one of the most exciting days of the year—Field Day! To help things run smoothly, we’re looking for parent volunteers to support at various activity stations. Field Day will be all day on June 11th We’ve created a Field Day Volunteer Sign-Up, which is divided into AM and PM shifts. This gives volunteers the option to help for just part of the day or stay all day and switch stations halfway through. We’re aiming to have two volunteers per station, which not only provides extra help but also allows one volunteer to step away briefly to watch their child participate while the other stays at the station. If you're interested in volunteering, please use the link below to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B49AAA62EA5F85-57015529-weiss All visitors must have an approved volunteer background check on file with the school in order to volunteer at this event. Thank you so much for your support—we couldn’t do this without you!

🎉 Last week marked our final school store of the year! Our students had a blast using their hard-earned Wildcat Cash from the PBIS program. Some even saved up for months to snag the big-ticket items! Huge thanks to all our families for their incredible support with our PBIS fundraisers throughout the year. 🌟 Your generosity made these memorable moments possible! #PBIS #WildcatCash #CommunitySupport 🐾

Our students have worked hard to plant a community garden. Please help us water the Weiss Garden all summer long. Volunteer one week during the summer to come and water/weed the garden as needed (usually once in the morning and once in the evening). Any food that is ripe is available for you to take home! If you have any questions please feel free reach out to Kelly Hughes at hughesk@gibdist.net Thank you! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805054DACA62CA1F85-56864181-weiss#/
