What a great time of year! It is exciting to see the joy in the faces of all the students during the holiday season. Due to the busy nature of the season, busy schedules and added responsibilities can cause stress. Concerts, parties, family visits and so many other events seem to be packed into a limited amount of time. Scheduling becomes an issue and we always seem to be looking for ways to complete our to-do list. Our upcoming holiday programs at McMonagle and Hamady offer the opportunity to slow down and enjoy a little holiday cheer. Dates and times for both are listed in the calendar. Please come; everyone is welcome!
As the holiday season approaches, please give your child the gift of extra time.Put an I.O.U. for a special event or activity in his/her stocking. When students are asked to write about a memorable event in their lives, it isn't a special gift they usually chose to write about, but a particular experience they have had with someone special.
During this season of the year we would like to say thanks to:
*Parents and guardians who diligently support their students in their education; and spend quality time with their child.
*All the volunteers who give countless hours to make each school a better place for students and staff
*All the people in our district who are committed to giving their best to your children every day. (Custodians, food service staff, bus drivers, security, paraprofessionals, student support, teachers and members of the board of education).
*All of you who are doing your very best to send your child ready to learn every day.
I am proud of how much our community gives during this time of year. We have many programs that reflect the caring culture that is growing through our population. We always welcome and appreciate your support in all the endeavors we take on.
Hopefully years from now, during the holiday season, you and your child will remember many wonderful times spent together. On behalf of the staff and Westwood Heights Board of Education have a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
