Good evening, Washington families. This is Principal Paul Travers with your weekly message.

First, a big thank you to everyone who joined us for the PTO carnival last Saturday! It was a fantastic event. Congratulations to Mrs. Watkins' and Mrs. Felton's classes for achieving the highest attendance – they will both enjoy pizza parties this week.

This week, March 17th-21st, is College and Career Readiness Week! Here's what we have planned:

Monday, March 17th – Dress for Success: Wear attire that makes you feel confident and successful, such as your favorite outfit, a positive message t-shirt, or a career-related outfit. Also, our golf pathway students will participate in the First Tee program at Gillespie Park. After-school tutoring will be available for select students.
Tuesday, March 18th – Bright Futures Day: Wear bright colors to symbolize a bright future. Also, Tuesday after school the SAS club Fairytales in action will be meeting.
Wednesday, March 19th – Superhero Career Day: Dress as a superhero version of your favorite career. Also on Wednesday after school the following SAS clubs will meet: Cheerleading, Culinary Arts & Etiquette, and Majorette.
