Thanks to the hard work by Boy Scout Troop 764, the school has four new split log benches! (Two are in front of the school, and two are on the playground). This Eagle Scout project was led by teenage Scout, Deven, and all communications to the Board came from him.
This was no easy job; they had to acquire all the materials themselves. Once they received the logs, they removed the bark, sanded them, applied a protective coat of sealant, and assembled them at the school. If you are as grateful as we are for this generous donation and wish to thank Troop 764 for all their hard work, please sign the card that is at the front desk when you get a chance. It will be there until the end of the month for anyone to sign.

MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
There was an EpiPen recall over spring break. I have checked all EpiPens in the WCA health
room and parents have been notified if their child is affected by the recall.
Please check your home EpiPens. This
link
will show you which lots may contain a defective part that could result in failure
to activate.
If you find that your child's home EpiPen is part of the recall, please keep it until Mylan issues you a free-of-charge replacement. Directions for obtaining a replacement are also on the link.
Thanks so much and please let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Jenny Garland, RN
