The students of Woonsocket School will be presenting a Veterans Day program on November 11th at 2 PM in the Woonsocket armory.  There will be patriotic music and readings.  Our community is invited for our celebration of Veteran's Day.  Please join us and show your appreciation.  The Program will also be shown live on our Santel school channel #104.  There will be a flag burning ceremony for the elementary students at 1:30PM.




The following students need to return or renew books at the Library:
Abby, Bailey H., Garrett, Fines start   Nov. 1 if your books are not returned or renewed.

Jacob Fouberg: Return headphones to the library. 



Any Sophomores interested in attending HOBY next spring needs to come talk to Emily. 



The aftercare program is now offering part-time/drop-in rates for $9.00 a day! Until further notice, Naomi will be collecting payments to be sent in to YMCA. Contact Naomi for further assistance- 350-0151.




Athletics


The 5th/6th Grade travel to Ethan today for games starting at 5:30PM. The girls will play two games followed by the boys with two games. 


The 5th/6th Grade girls travel to Mt. Vernon on Saturday for their CBH tournament. A note of what team each girl is on is being sent home. A schedule of the tournament can be found on the Google Drive.




The Blackhawks play Baltic, Monday November 2nd at Wessington Springs. The game will start at 6:30PM. There is going to be a tailgate supper sponsored by the Spartan Booster Club. It includes a pork sandwich, chips, cookie, and a pop for $5.


Kool 98 and Q107 will be both broadcasting all of our playoff games as long as we keep winning.


The 5th/6th Grade Girls & Boys Basketball Practice and Game Schedule has been added to the Google Drive. There have been updates made to the schedule. Due to conflicts with W. Springs, we have switched the home and away games with Wess. Springs.  We also changed a 4PM start time for Oct. 19. 




Academics

Mitchell Technical Institute will be hosting My Technical Interest Days again this year. Registration forms and additional information about the events can be found atwww.mitchelltech.edu/admissions/campus-events and on the attached flier.

MyTI (pronounced "mighty") Days are an opportunity for students, along withinstructors, counselors, and administrators to visit the programs at Mitchell Technical Institute that are the “next steps” in career clusters of interest. The student may be enrolled those program courses in high school or just have an interest in that area

The following are the dates for the camps:
November 10, 2015 – Business
November 10, 2015 – Cyber
November 18, 2015 – Scrubs
March 8, 2016 – Culinary

You will notice that there is not a grade level of attendance for MyTI Days. I would say that camp is geared more toward that sophomore or junior student that is in the midst of career exploration, but I wouldn't discourage a senior who is trying to figure out what to do next year or a freshman with a great deal of interest in that area to apply either.

Registration is limited, so I would encourage your students to apply early.




Chorus

The All-State Performance is scheduled for Saturday at 8PM. You can watch it at:

WEPC


Next meeting is Wednesday, November 4th at 6PM in the Commons - come support our elementary students, and bring a friend!


The WEPC is collecting the following items for our elementary school: Box Tops for Education, Coborn's Labels for Learning (found at the bottom of your Coborn's receipt), Campbell's Soup Labels for Education, pop tabs, and Coca-Cola points. Please save these for us even if you don't have a student in the elementary school as it takes an entire community to help their school thrive.
