Other Business:
· Yearbook committee needs to get a plan together for the next meeting. Teachers please start collecting your favorite candid digital pictures to submit!
· Mr. Huntzicker is proud to announce that Winans is participating in the Success Maker program. It’s an interactive computer-based academic program that focuses on reading and math skills; helps teachers to fully customize each child’s learning experience by tracking what their strenghths and weaknesses are in computerized games, quizzes, exercises, tests, etc. The program was a big investment for the district and we hope it enhances your child’s /children’s education.
OTHER NOTES: We are still interested in getting grants or donations toward the climbing wall (we have raised about 1/3 of the cost through fundraising). If anyone is aware of grants, awards, donations, etc., or if you have experience with writing grants or have other fundraising ideas, please contact the PTO President. Tammy Lewis.
