Congratulations to the students who met all 4 of their AR reading goals.  Invitations to the AR celebration on May 15 (2:30-4:00) at Plymouth High School have gone home and permission slips are due back May 10. The movie Happy Feet II will be shown, and students will have a small snack before boarding buses. 
We are looking for chaperones to help supervise at the movie and help with dismissal.  Please contact Dianne Himes in the library if you are able to help. 

Thank you Papa John's Pizza of Plymouth for contributing certificates for the 4th AR goal.  Students who met their goal were rewarded with a coupon for a free small pizza or order of breadsticks.  If you stop in Papa Johns be sure to thank them for this donation!

Washington students are participating in a fundraiser to fight children's cancer!  This fundraising event not only educates our children about giving back to their community, but also incorporates the importance of regular physical activity. 

Students from all classsrooms are competing to see which two classrooms can raise the most money.  At the end of the fundraiser, the top two fundraising classes will get to play in a kickball game on Friday, May 4th.  All other participating classes will cheer them on.  Pledge sheets are due 5/2.

To learn more about our fundraiser or to donate online please visit. http://kickball.curesearch.org/washingtonelementary.

Author Tim Smith (commonly referred to as Buck Wilder) visited Washington School.  He encouraged the students to use their imagination and get outdoors!  He demonstrated how to create a drinking cup out of a piece of paper.  Washington's adventure stories writers were also recognized.
