The FAP Big Basket Raffle 

Collections for the 15th Annual Big Basket Raffle and Silent Auction are underway! This is one of FAP’s biggest fundraisers of the year, with proceeds funding FAP programs that support all WCS and ABS students, families and staff. Items donated by our Williston School District families will be made into beautiful themed baskets that will be raffled off at the BIG BASKET RAFFLE on Saturday, March 28th, 2015. We ask each family to donate one (or more) item(s) that relate to your class theme:

Donations are voluntary, and every donated item, large or small, is greatly appreciated. Price is not a factor, and all donations are anonymous. If you have more than one child in a house, it is perfectly acceptable to donate one item per family. Students may also join together to donate a larger item. We are also seeking donations from local businesses for gift basket items, gift certificates, and silent auction prizes. If you have a connection with a local business you think would be interested in supporting this school fundraiser, please contact Lisa Wong at lisawong177@comcast.net

SBAC

Please take note that we have scheduled our testing days for the SBAC.  The tests will take place on March 24, 25, 26, and 27 with both morning and afternoon sessions.  Please avoid scheduling other appointments for your son or daughter during this time if possible.  Thank you!

Successful Marko Fundraiser! 

Thanks to the efforts of many of you, and your attendance at the event as well, our net profit on Friday night for Marko the Magician was $1924.50 (We made $1619.00 from ticket sales, and $305.50 from concessions.). Great work, everyone!

Volleyball at WCS

If you think your child may be interested in playing volleyball, please have them sign up ASAP. Ms. Oakes is in the process of coordinating schedule for practices and games with other schools, many of which, already have teams getting ready. This is an opportunity for kids to start learning the basics of volleyball and hopefully get some fine tuning by the time they arrive at CVU. Did you know?: Volleyball is the second most popular sport in the world today, exceeded only by soccer. Many of us are looking forward to having Vermont catch up with this statistic! You can tell your middle school aged children that playing volleyball may increase their chances of making friends at the beach during their next vacation at the beach. Please let Ms. Oakes or I know if you have any questions. and would you mind forwarding this to anyone you know you may be interested? Gracias in advance, Julieta
