This Week at WMES
December 9-13

Dear WMES families:

 

Medication Reminders:  

  • If students require prescription medication at school please note that we require paperwork to be completed before it can be administered.  You can come into the office to pick the forms up, or call / email Ms. Fizzard to get a copy emailed home to you. 

  • Non-prescription medication (over the counter medication) can not be administered at school.   Someone from home would have to come and administer medications like Tylenal, Advil, or any other medication that you have picked up on your own.  

  • If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. 

 

Winter Weather:

Please ensure that students are coming to school dressed / prepared for whatever our Nova Scotia weather is throwing at us each day. We will always try to get outside as much as possible each day, and students having boots, snow pants, rain gear, hats, mitts, etc. helps us all enjoy the weather together safely.

If your child does not have indoor sneakers at school yet this year - it’s time to send them please.  Wet, snowy, muddy boots are not permitted in the classrooms as they create a mess and safety concerns.  Also, students cannot participate in physical education class in boots or other footwear.

If you need help with acquiring boots, snow pants, or any other gear please reach out to Mrs. Wolfe.  We can help! 🙂 

Our Lost and Found is once again over-flowing.  So if you are missing items, please feel free to come in and check for them. They will be donated over the break.

 

Food Drive…. Food Drive…. Food Drive….

We are having a food drive all this week.  The Lions Express will be picking up our donations on Friday morning.  Please send items to the office and help us help our local community this holiday season.   Thanks.

 

Pizza and Garlic Finger kits - First come first serve - $12  

We have some “Make your own Pizza” kits, and some “Make your own Garlic Fingers” kits still available. 

Let us know if you would like some.
