Dear CW Families, Our students were hustling and bustling all during this week of school! We had some 5th grade students head to the Gerald R. Ford Museum while others were busy in and out of classes designing peace poles, working on class projects, or even beginning to practice a self-developed skit! Thank you to all of our families for your continued support and involvement with your child during their time at CW! It makes a world of difference! David

This week on Thursday and Friday, the Camp Henry staff was at CW to do some fun team building experiences during PE class! It was fun seeing our 6th grade students recognize some of their favorite camp counselors from 6th grade camp! Our 5th grade students were excited to get a small taste of the fun they will have next year at 6th grade camp! Just a reminder, our 6th grade camp for next year at Camp Henry is scheduled for the week of Oct. 16th. Our students spend 3 days/ 2 nights and have a blast! We will need male and female adult chaperones to stay overnight with us! Please start thinking about volunteering on this awesome experience!

Charlotte's Web is a funny, gentle depiction of the cycle of life through the trials, tribulations and stardom of Wilbur the pig.
