Valentine’s Craft for First, Second and Third Graders

First, second, and third grade students were treated to a special afternoon of fun. Members of the Student Council assisted teachers in creating a special Valentine’s event for students. Everyone had the opportunity to create their own Valentine’s Day craft, listen to stories and share in treats and fun with classmates. A great time was had by all.

Family Bingo Night and Gift Auction

B-7, N-34, 0-72, I-26, G-56! Students, parents and teachers enjoyed playing bingo in the Cafetorium. Fun prizes awaited all the happy children as they covered their boards with Cheerios or candy hearts to win BINGO! Local businesses and members of the community all rallied together to created exquisite baskets that were raffled off that night.

Relay for Life Valentine’s Day Dance

Fourth and fifth graders were treated to a special afternoon of dance and fun with their friends. DJ Noble Productions lit up the cafetorium and for our students to dance the afternoon away. Students and teachers listened to the latest music and learned all the new dance crazes. It was fun for all ages!

Movie Matinee

Students at Wemrock Brook School were treated to some special movies, Hotel Transylvania and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. The PTA after-school sponsored event provided our students with some fun and treats.

Wemrock Celebrates Reading

During the month of February the students were “stuck on reading”, competing to see how many books they could read! All during the last week in February, the students celebrated a special spirit week dedicated to reading. Each and every door was decorated to reflect a favorite Dr. Seuss book. It was so hard to choose a favorite! Many surprise visitors came to read to the classes, sharing the stories that they love. Finally, on Friday, the staff performed The Cat in the Hat for the first and second grade students.
