Hello Awesome Wanamaker Parents,
Hope you ALL are enjoying this special break with your children and family. 😊
Will you please help us decorate the Wanamaker Christmas Tree this year? 🌲 Mrs. Decker and her amazing art kiddos would like to help bring HOLIDAY CHEER to the halls of Wanamaker. 🤗
First, we are in need of a WHITE Christmas tree 6’-8’ tall donated, please.
Next, we would like to have as many families as possible donate a small ornament/trinket (in your child’s grade color) or an ornamental bauble/ball (in your child’s grade color.)
The first picture is the “before” tree needed along with the “inspiration” tree. The second photo shows some ideas of what we would like to decorate our tree with.
If you have any colored ball or small ornament you would like to donate or are visiting the Hobby Lobby/Target/Michaels/Dollar Tree sales this weekend, we would LOVE to begin decorating next week when we return from our Thanksgiving break.
If you choose to participate, please send your item with your child beginning Monday, December 2nd.

Thank you so very much! So excited to share this project with all of our school friends and their families.
Parents- with the wind chill today, it will feel like the 40s in temperature. It will be chilly at recess. If you can, send a jacket with your student.

Today, we paused to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Across our schools, a variety of programs, assemblies, and activities took place, allowing students and staff the opportunity to honor and remember the sacrifices made by our veterans.
At Wanamaker Elementary School, the walls were adorned with student artwork and messages of gratitude. A school-wide assembly paid tribute to veterans past and present – the honor choir and band performed, a military medley was played, and veterans were presented with flowers to honor their service. A white table was also set to honor fallen, missing, and imprisoned military service members. Sixth-grader Donaven captured the symbolism of the white table beautifully, writing, "To me the little white table symbolizes the bravery of our heroes and what they sacrificed to protect our freedom. Our gratitude is limitless, thank you."
Congratulations on the first Mustang Market Food Bank that was held tonight! Great job Mrs. Wiltz on getting this organized! 12 families were served this evening. ❤️❤️ More food banks will take place on the 1st Thursday of every month. Spread the word! Mrs. Wiltz wanted to thank those who helped this evening. You were lifesavers!!! 🥰.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And never ending gratitude to Fellowship Bible Church and their amazing volunteers!!!
We are looking for someone who loves to work with kids, is interested in working the same hours as your children, and is ready to make a difference in the lives of some awesome students! Come join our team!

This rainy weekend is the perfect setting to kick off National Picture Book Month! Our school community will be celebrating with a month-long challenge with students working towards individual goals/ rewards and also towards a school-wide goal of 4,000 picture books read during the month of November! We will track our school's progress with a sticker Mystery Poster located in the hall right outside the library. A sticker is attached for every picture book that is read. Hmm, I wonder what that poster's image is going to be?!
The staff's favorite picture books will also be on display and available for checkout!
"A picture book is written for anybody who loves to read from ages 0 to 100+ and it's art, it's poetry, it's music. It's everything." Alyssa Capucilli, author of the Biscuit series.
