"DAISY DAILY" FOR WEEK OF NOVEMBER 14, 2016

Veterans Day Assembly, November 11, 2016

Daisy Staff,

Thanks to all who contributed toward making our Veterans Day Assembly so moving and memorable last Friday.  Our Veterans shared wonderful messages about peace, service and the diversity of our Veterans who have served our country.  I am so proud of our students in how they handled this solemn occasion, both by what they created for our Veterans and how composed and attentive the entire group was throughout the assembly.

As we look forward to this week, here are a few notes:

• Daisy will host a "Coffee and Chat" for EL families on Tuesday, Nov. 15, beginning at 7:45 am.  This is a collaborative effort between our staff and WYFS. We will have programs and breakfast for both adults and children.  Individual invitations were sent out to our English Learners and guests were asked to RSVP.  Please let the office know about responses that you have received from your students' families.
• Westbrook BOE Meeting will take place on Tues.,  Nov. 15, at 7 pm in the High School Library.
• We will have our Mandated Report Training during our Schoolwide PLC on Wed., Nov. 16.  The presenter will be from DCF and this meeting will take place in the cafe from 3:15-4:15 pm.
• Daisy PTO Meeting will take place on Wed., Nov. 16, at 7 pm in the cafe.  Please consider joining us.
• The WHS Play, "Footloose," runs Nov. 17-19 and promises to be remarkable.
