Classroom Cleanout:
On Wednesday, May 28, we will be cleaning out the students’ areas in the classrooms and in their lockers. Students may want to bring along extra bags to carry their materials home. Also, please discuss with your child which materials and supplies they are expected to bring home. If the supplies are no longer needed, the homeroom teachers will have bins set up for donations of unwanted items.
Celebrate the Year:
The end of the year is drawing near. To celebrate we are having the Sip & Scoot mobile cafe here in our south parking lot on Wednesday, May 28th. They will be selling drinks to staff and families from 7:00-8:30. They will have coffee, espressos, lemonade, and smoothies for sale.
If you would like to sponsor a teacher for $5, please pay Jenni in the office or Venmo Mrs. Emig at @Nikki-Emig. Your $5 will buy a teacher a drink of their choice to help celebrate an awesome school year. This is also a fantastic way to support local as the owner of the truck is a former Wesclin graduate!
Blood Drive:
In conjunction with the American Red Cross, the Wesclin Middle School Honor Society will be hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, May 21 from 2:00-7:00 pm in the middle school cafeteria. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767 or visit RedCrossBlood.org.
Spirit Blanket Fundraiser:
We asked, you answered, and now we’re so excited to show you the design for this year’s premium plush blanket. The company requires a 1OO order minimum, so we’re getting a jump on it with a preorder open now! In the event that we haven’t reached the minimum amount of orders, we will close out the website on May 22nd - If this happens, we will refund everyone who placed an order to make sure CheddarUp returns the purchase price with fees. If we meet the 100 orders before the 22nd, we will leave the preorder open through June 30th.
These blankets are 60x80”, double-sided, and perfect for football games, soccer games, or giving your kids one less reason to argue over one blanket!
Want to save? Any order with a minimum purchase of $100 will save $10 at checkout with code NBE25. Please contact the Support Committee with any questions.
