FIFTH GRADE SKATE NIGHT


Last Monday evening, several Fifth graders went to Lynnwood Bowl and Skate for two hours of roller skating fun. Many students said it was the highlight of their week, and the adults enjoyed watching their roller skating skills grow over the evening. Thank you to Mr. Lang for organizing and for Ms. Albertson and Ms. LoBue for chaperoning.

If there is enough interest, Mr. Lang will schedule another night for 3rd through 5th graders in late May.  He can be emailed at mlang@nsd.org.

 
TRACK AND FIELD STARTS A WEEK FROM TODAY


Families of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, track and field starts next week! This program gets kids moving and allows them to practice teamwork and showing good sportsmanship. Practices will start Monday, April 3rd and the season will wrap up on May 25th (maybe later). Mr. Cordingly and Mrs. Sievertsen will be your coaches this season.

SEE THIS LINK FOR SIGN UP INFORMATION. To sign up, families must complete the emergency contact form AND the sports registration form (that's available via either Touchbase or hard copy). The schedule is still in flux.

 
PROTECTING OUR FIELD AS TRACK APPROACHES

On a related noted, Westhill is likely to be hosting one or two track meets this spring, in which case we are working hard to keep our sandlot and our sandpits (for long jump) in pristine condition. We're encouraging our students to avoid digging in either space. (The above holes were repaired by Northshore Facilities this morning.) Thank you for your help in communicating this!

 

YOUR NEW AND USED SANDBOX TOYS -- SEND THEM OUR WAY
Westhill's sandboxes are always in need of additional toys -- diggers, shovels, buckets, trucks, etc. New or used,  you can drop them off at the front office.
 
MALE CHAPERONES SOUGHT FOR CAMP CEDAR SPRINGS
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to become a chaperone at the 5th grade Camp Cedar Springs event (April 26-28). Cabins will be organized by gender, so we're still in need of male chaperones. You can sign up via THIS LINK.
