Gearing Up for the Winter Bazaar
The winter bazaar is this Saturday December 2 from 9:30am-3:00pm. Students are working hard this week to finalize their own personal projects or collaborating with facilitators to create school projects. There are plenty of opportunities for all students to contribute to this epic event. Talk to your student about their business plan! They are learning about income vs expenses, coming up with an appropriate price to sell their goods, and ramping up for production. On that note, we welcome students to bring their home projects to school to work on them during the day if they have one.

Thank you to Taran, Nikhil, Neve, and Coral for advertising the Bazaar on KPOV! Great job!
Other students are working on school projects baking, pinecone art, magnets, bird feeders, birdhouses, and such. Students are working on business plans for WVMS concession booth and the arts and crafts tables..
Upper Deschutes Watershed Council
Every year WVMS students choose a nonprofit organization that will receive a portion of our proceeds from the money we make from our school projects. This year, in honor of our theme, “Precious Water, Precious Winter,” we have decided to donate to the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council works to protect and restore the 2,000,000-acre upper Deschutes River watershed through collaborative projects in watershed restoration, monitoring and community awareness. They take a grass-roots approach to involve stakeholders, including landowners, ranchers, environmental interests, local citizens, and representatives from local government and agencies.
Picture Retake Day, Dec 4th
Did you miss picture day or want to take a new picture? Dorian will be back at our school on Monday, December 4th for picture retakes. Click here for ordering information.
Giving Tree Items Due Dec 12
There are still ornaments on the Giving Tree if you would like to help a family this holiday season! Just let the office know which ornament you took, purchase the item(s) and return them unwrapped by Tuesday, December 12th.
Appropriate Clothes for the Weather
Brrr!! It’s getting chilly out there! Students spend a lot of time outside throughout the day. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather! It’s time to start bringing hats, coats and mittens. It is helpful to put names on everything and teach your students that they can store their hats and mittens in the sleeves of their coats when they’re not wearing them.
Lost and Found
Please come in and check the Lost and Found! We will be donating any unclaimed items over Winter Break.
Volunteer at Home
We could use some help preparing some of our math curriculum, and you can do it from home! If there is anyone that could volunteer from home to cut out math diagrams/puzzles, please let us know and we can get you set up. Thank you!
Thanks for the Mugs!
We have all we need! Thanks to everyone that donated, wow!
