Enjoy your Spring Break!

Pay it Forward
What a day to be a part of WIS! Our student council kicked off our “Pay it Forward” initiative with a building wide assembly today. If you are not familiar with this concept or have not seen the 2000 movie here is the basic idea: do something you would not normally do to help someone else but they cannot pay you back, they instead must pay it forward to someone else. They in turn do the same for someone else and the “good deed” is potentially passed on indefinitely. The goal of this is to make our schools, homes, and community a more positive place one kind act at a time.
Today each student received a “Pay it Forward” bracelet to help remind them of what they are now a part of which they can then give to someone else. Although participation is completely voluntary we hope each student chooses to be a part of this. Our student council developed, implemented, and funded this entire plan. We want to thank each of its members for allowing us to be a part of it ! Thanks also to our student council sponsors that have put so much time and effort in to make this possible!!
4th Quarter already?
12 students from WIS are the proud owners of new digital cam-corders from our 3rd quarter iChoose assembly on Friday. These students exemplify the “above and beyond” mind-set that the program is built around. Way to go! Thanks to all of our sponsors that have made this program possible!
Several pieces of our new playground equipment are in and plans are currently in the works to get them installed. Be looking for this to happen in the near future. Our PTO has made this plan a reality and WIS is very appreciative!
Students received their 3rd quarter grade cards this week. Please take some time to go over this with your student and contact us if you need more specific information.
It is hard to believe that we are already talking about 4th quarter but it is here. Encourage your child to keep up their efforts and positve attitude. Summer is in sight!
A reminder that school will be in session on Monday 3/23 as another of our make up days.
Welcome to March!
Congratulations to 5th grader K. Raby for winning our building spelling bee. He survived the classroom, team, grade level, and building competitions to earn this honor. He will represent WIS later this month at the area wide KY3 spelling bee. We wish him good luck!
As many of you are already aware, the Willard North and WIS chiors will be performing at the Springfield Cardinals game on Saturday April 25th at 2:00. Everyone is invited to join us at the game that day. Our music teacher, Mrs. Morris, is coordinating the sale of these tickets. Students were given order forms last week. Ticket price is $7 and orders need to be in by Friday March 13th. We would love to see you there!
A reminder that 3rd quarter ends Monday the 9th. Grade cards will go home with students on the 12th. Our 3rd quarter iChoose reward assembly will be on the 13th.
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward for Daylight Savings time.
