From Mr. Churchwell,
Happy Friday Wishram Students, Staff, Friends and Families,
I got to spend some time with my kids this last weekend. The Wife and I traveled to Spokane, WA to my Daughters house. It had been several months since we had seen our daughter and her Husband. What made the trip even better is that my son, his wife and my grandson also came up for the weekend. It was wonderful to be able to spend the weekend with my family.
Just a reminder, Wishram ASB will be hosting a halloween carnival on October 31st. The only way we're able to make this a success is with the generous donations of candy and prizes from our amazing community. Keep them donations coming in and a huge thank you to all who have already stopped by with your donations.
Conferences are next week, Tuesday - Thursday. Please make sure to attend your child's conference. If you can't make the scheduled time/day, reach out to Ms. Ariel Sanderson, Wishram School Office Manager or your child's teachers to arrange a different time.
