It's Book Fair time! And the #1 rule... your child will have fun! We're turning up the volume on this year's Fair with more books, more choices, and more fun than ever before. Visit the Whitson & Henkle/WPSIS library.
We are thrilled to share that last Friday, the CHS Concert Band visited our Cub Pride assembly! Our students had an amazing time as they experienced live music performed by these talented high school musicians. It was a fantastic opportunity for our Cubs to connect with older students and celebrate the joy of music together.
Don't forget to set up your student's Book Fair eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: WPSIS/HMS-https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/whitesalmon48 -Whitson https://www.scholastic.com/bf/whitsonelementaryschool4 - #ScholasticBookFairs
