Last night was another great Paint Night!! We're so pleased that so many families were able to come out and join us in the fun. Thanks, as always, to The Fearless Painter, the participants and volunteers, and to Sherrie Byrd for organizing this colorful event.
As you may know, the weather people are predicting winter weather on Thursday morning. Because of this, we are rescheduling our Donuts for Dads event for Friday, December 16. Times will remain the same. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Muffins for Moms was magnificent! Thank you to Dawn Beal for coordinating this; Wow! Thanks to the moms, the aunts and the grandmothers, the volunteers, teachers and staff. Today wasn't possible without you. The laughs, smiles, tears, the delicious food we shared makes the Widmyer family know how much you cared.
We are excited to host our Muffins for Moms this morning! Because of the number of responses, we have split the group in half. You should have received a paper with your designated time (7:00 or 7:30). In general, it is the firat half of the alphabet at 7:00 and the second half at 7:30. Please make every effort to come during your designated time.
Additionally, we are seeing an increase in flu-like illness at school and in the community. We know that you want to participate with your child; however, if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or out of season allergy symptoms, we ask that you do not attend. While you will be missed, we want to do what we can to help ensure the health of our families.

To help us on this journey at Widmyer, we are asking that you take a few moments to complete the following survey. The results will help us determine the areas in which we are exceling as well as the areas in which we need to improve. Thank you for taking the time to help us improve!

Tomorrow, October 28 is our annual parade of characters. Parents are invited to attend the outside parade. If you choose to join us, please wait on the lower side of the grass oval in front of the school or below the bottom of the traffic loop. The students will exit the building at approximately 1:15. Once all students are out of the building, they will walk around the front traffic loop before returning to their classrooms. After all students have returned to the building, parents may sign out their children. First and Second grade classes will sign out from their classroom’s outside door. Ms. Brown, Mr. K, and Ms. Unger will dismiss from the double doors near the gym. Ms. Crawford, Ms. Ryan, and Ms. Lindsey will dismiss from the second set of double doors on the south end of the building. Both pre-k classes will dismiss from the first set of double doors on the north end of the building and Mr. Soos will dismiss from the second door on the north end.
Please send your child’s costume to school in the morning. If it is something that they can easily wear and complete school activities, they may wear it to school.
Parking is very limited at Widmyer. We ask that you carpool as much as possible. We will do our best to have someone outside to assist with parking.
