ANNOUNCEMENTS

Reali School of Haifa Visit Next Week!
On October 13, we are looking forward to welcoming 25 Reali students and their two chaperones to Wornick! They will be visiting our classrooms on Friday, spending time with our students, learning and sharing with each other.


​Parent/Teacher Conference Sign Ups
We know it is hard to believe but it is almost time to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences, which will be held on November 3-4. Our teachers are looking forward to meeting with you and have already started preparing for your time together. 


Parent/Teacher Conference Sign Ups will be available via Veracross, our student information system, the week of October 19 and will be open until November 2 at noon. We will send an email notification out with login information prior to registration.

REMINDERS

High Holiday Challot and Honey Cakes
If you have ordered round challot or honey cakes for Yom Kippur, they will be available in the office for pick up next Tuesday morning.

 

Second Harvest Food Bins
Food collection bins from JFCS (Jewish Family and Childrens' Service) have been placed in our lobby and first floor corridor. As we get ready to celebrate the fall holidays of Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, let's make sure that we share our abundance with those in need. Please deposit in these bins unopened non-perishable food items - for example, pasta, canned goods, rice, peanut butter, etc. Please note that if you do bring any foods with nuts to please be sure and put them in a sealed paper bag.

 

Lost & Found Reminder

Remember to label your personal items. We are only a few weeks into school and there are already several lunch boxes in the Lost & Found with no names on them. Please put your last name on all reusable water bottles, jackets, lunch boxes and tupperwares so they can be returned to you. Just in case you are hunting for items... Our Lost & Found rack is at the far end of the first floor hall. Please check it regularly. 

Wornick Logo Kippot

Perhaps you have noticed our kindergarteners sporting hip orange Wornick logo kippot. They are available for $8 in the Wornick office. The kippot are made of athletic mesh fabric with the Wornick logo embroidered. They feature two built-in clips to keep them in place even during the most rousing song sessions!
