SCA Fundraiser for United Way

By Braiden

The SCA had a fundraiser for the United Way in November. Whichever teacher got the most votes got their beard shaved off! The United Way is a fundraising company that uses the money they get from schools to create opportunities for others to have a better life. The United Way provides education, income, and health because of the all the hard work they do. The United Way helps all sorts of different charities by holding fundraisers at schools worldwide. The United Way has a fundraiser called Mission United, to raise money for the veterans and soldiers who fought in wars and those who have relatives that fought in wars.

Our school sold tickets for $1 and students put their tickets in the jar with the picture of the staff member they wanted to shave their beard off. The staff members students that could vote for were: Mr. Nate, Mr. Chris, Mr. Estep, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Orebaugh.

The SCA earned $428 for the United Way through this fundraiser. That is more than $200 more than was raised last year through the Pie in Your Face Fundraiser. Great job, Wildcats!

Safety Patrols

by Krissi and Maddie

We interviewed Mrs. Connelly about school safety. She answered four questions for us.

When Mrs. Connelly is at school she thinks school safety is her #1 priority. Krissi and I also think that school safety is very important. When Mrs. Connelly was in school there were safety patrols, which is super cool. Mrs. Connelly has been a safety patrol leader since she has worked at Windsor Woods.

As a safety patrol, you are expected to be a role model for the rest of the school. Here are some ways that safety patrols could get their belts taken away:

• Forgetting your belt three times
• If your grades and homework are not up
• Behavior concerns

Front row: Mrs. Connelly, Melanie, Noah, Josiah, John, Jaiden

HA-HA-Hilarious!

Getting to Know You

Fiction.  My favorite genre in fiction is science fiction fantasy.  I love being transported to another world where anything is possible!

It means that I like to introduce students to new passions, whether it’s books, MakerSpace activities, or researching new information.

• Where do you get all these Words Of  The Week?

I look in my favorite books and find all these splendiferous words.

• How do you get all these ideas for MakerSpace?

I do lots of research on the newest technology, and what challenges students would have the most fun participating in.  I really want the MakerSpace to be a place where students can be challenged, creative and work together for a common goal!
