Teacher Expenditures: During the month of January the PTO had requested ideas for things the teacher’s are currently in need of. We had great response and I am happy to let everyone know we allocated funding for the below items for the staff/students:

• $1000 for new library books
• $500 (roughly) for a new binding machine
• $400 (roughly) for lower case letter and shape Ellison letters
• $625 to provide emergency kits to each classroom and other rooms
• $200 for ink cartridge for printer in Early Childhood wing

We had a wonderful presentation by Tim Houge to present the flags he had designed for the WG School District. He has gifted each school building with a flag to fly. The PTO will be purchasing house banners, car flags and possibly garden flags to offer to the community. Look for these items on display during the Spring Carnival!
