Good evening, Washington Families,

 This is principal Paul Travers with your weekly message.

As a reminder, we will only have school on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Students will be out of school for Thanksgiving break starting on Wednesday, November 27^th – November 29^th. Students will return to school on Monday, December 2^nd.

Looking ahead the week of December 2^nd will be Farm week at Washington. There will be multiple ways for students to participate. Parents can participate by joining your Washingtonians for lunch on December 5^th. On this day, our cafeteria will be transformed into the Washington Street Farmers Market. Students will have an opportunity to experience a farmers’ market from inside of our cafeterias.

 Your Weekly Health and wellness Tip for this week is: Did you know that gentle movement before and after meals helps stimulate your digestive system, improving the breakdown and absorption of food? This Thanksgiving let's make a family tradition of taking a family walk or playing a family football game before or after meals.

 At Washington we Honor Community, Show Excellence, Think Critically, and Thrive Through Movement
