Bledsoe Creek State Park...

 

We had a great time at the park again this week!  We took a hike along the shoreline and learned the basics of hiking and how to safely explore!

 



 

In addition to learning about hiking, we identified several types of plants and animals.

I have honestly never seen a group of kids so excited to see (and hold) an earthworm! 

 



 

You would have thought they found gold under those rocks and logs!

The highlight had to be when they found a salamander and everyone got a good look at him before he scurried away! 

 

We are so looking forward to next weeks trip when we'll be fishing!!!

Our Alex...

Alex, PWMS Unity Assistant, is so creative and fun.  We can't even express how blessed we feel to have her at West!  She is an asset to our program and has been with us for almost 2 years.  One of her latest creative designs is our door decoration!  Don't you like it?  Thank you Alex for all the great things you do for our students and staff!  You rock!



Announcements:
We have found a bus driver, so our trips to Bledsoe Creek State Park will resume on Tuesday!  This Tuesday we should be hiking, so bring some shoes that will lace up and be comfortable for a hike!  Parents:  We should be leaving around 3:20 and get back around 5:40.  If you have needs that this schedule will not accommodate, please contact me to see if we can work something out.  I have already spoken with some of you who have students that go to sporting events, etc.

We are need of a few items!  I would love to get some donations of hand sanitizer, Band-Aids, or candy for rewards.  I will, of course, purchase these items from the Unity account if they are not donated.  However, I like to save on the budget in any way we can, so please help us out if you are able!

SPOTLIGHT on Anthony...

Meet Anthony.

Anthony is new to our program this year and we have enjoyed getting to know him so much!

 

Yesterday, Anthony's mom was so excited to show us a book she had just purchased.  She was excited because it was a book that contained a piece of art that Anthony had submitted!

That's right folks, our Anthony is now a published artist!

Check it out...

His is the painting with the red background!  Isn't that neat!

 

We are so proud of you Anthony!  We are lucky to have you in Unity!
