Students are getting ready for our spring performances in Choir this quarter. They are having lost of fun too! Be sure, choir students, that you thank Ms. Alexander and Mr. Curtis for letting us have a wonderful year! Also, be sure to wear your choir shirts to every performance so you can sing as a W. J. C. student. They have been working on songs like “Clappin’ time” which talks about how music makes you want to dance and sing! Another song is “The Peace Song” which is about making peace throughout the world and thanking our troops! One more song is “ I Like To Sing” which is about how some people just like to sing like birds, but others like to get down to snazzy jazz music! Our WJC choir has come a long way from the start of the school year!

Our yearbooks are now on sale for $32.00. This is a hard cover book with 56 color pages. There is less than 100 yearbooks left to be purchased so don’t wait until the last minute because you may not get one.

Here are our themes for testing week: On April 9th, students may wear their favorite hat and flip flops for they are “headed for success and not flipping out.” On April 10th, students will be served healthy snacks for they are “healthy students making smart choices.” April 10th is ARMT+ Reading. On April 11th, students may bring their favorite fruit snack for “they’re doing berry well.” April 11th is ARMT+ Reading. On April 11th, students will be served cookies for a snack for they will all “be a smart cookie.” April 12th is ARMT+ Math. On April 13th, students will receive a blow pop for no one wants to “blow the last day.” April 13th is ARMT+ Math and Science for 5th grade. April16th-20th is ARMT+ make up week.
