A big thank you to all who participated in the Jog-A-Thon Color Run this year. It was a successful event with the kiddos running their best and having fun. They looked great in their colorful t-shirts too. We are so appreciative of the Weaver community, volunteers and sponsors. It would not have been successful without all your donations, time and efforts towards this event.
 
We made it to our $60,000 goal! Way to go Weaver! Now, for the fun. We get to watch Dr. Schmidt bob for apples, dress as a punk rock star, ride a tricycle throughout the Weaver Halloween parade on October 31 st and read to the kiddos in a tent on the quad! Stay tuned for more dates.
 
Congratulations to Mrs. Caulder’s Kinder class as they raised the most donations. That class will be receiving an additional recess! The top earner in the school goes to Mason Payne in Mrs. Buenrostro’s 3 rd grade class. Awesome job, Mason!
