Good evening, Washington families,

This is principal Paul Travers with your weekly message. Thank you to all of our families who came out to Back-to- School Mornings. Our Washingtonians were so excited to have you join in on morning movement. We look forward to having you back sometime during the 2^nd quarter.

This Saturday, October 12^th our PTO will host the Sneaker Ball, from 4:30 pm-6:30 pm at Washington. We are looking forward to seeing our Washingtonians dressed up and sporting their favorite sneakers.

• On Monday and Tuesday of this week, our golf pathway will head to Gillespie Park golf course after school to participate in the First Tee program.

• On Tuesday, October 8^th we will have our 3^rd graders and a few of our 4th graders be taking the Read-to-Achieve test, and the School Based Leadership Team meeting at 3:00pm in the Media Center.

• On Friday, October 11^th, our 3^rd graders will be taking a field trip to the Greensboro Science Center and our 5^th graders will be taking their Science Interim Assessment.  

Your Weekly Health & Wellness tip for this week is: Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours: A good night's sleep is crucial for both physical and mental well-being.
