Email: ayasui@lwsd.org

 

Labels for Education 

Don’t forget we are still collecting “Labels for Education” so don’t put those scissors away. This year we no longer need the front of the label, just the UPC and the Labels for Ed symbol beside it. Thanks for your support!

 

Café Wilder Poerty Club

Café Wilder is a fun, casual environment where the kids can perform a piece of poetry of their own creation, written by a classmate or a poem of a published poet. Our objective is to encourage development of oral presentation skills, build self-confidence, and promote a love for poetry by exposing kids to many different types of poetry in a nurturing environment. We invite you to bring a poem to share with the group or just come to listen! Everyone is welcome and snacks will be provided. We will be inviting students from Rosa Parks and Einstein Elementary Schools to join us. Come and enjoy! Contact Judy Russo (cootessa@verizon.net) or Claire Beighle (cmbeighle@hotmail.com) if you have any questions.

 

PTSA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

Please join us on Thursday, November 9th at 10:00 am in Portable 1 (the Art Portable) for a PTSA Board of Directors Meeting.  You do not need to be a board member to attend.  Everyone is welcome!  The PTSA Board of Directors meets on the second Thursday of each month.  Feel free to join us anytime.

 

Parent Education: Internet

Want some help to navigate in cyberspace? Do you have questions about MYSPACE and the various social networking sites on the internet? What do we, as parents, need to know to be savvy about the electronic gizmos our children are exposed to by the media? The Wilder Community is invited to join the Horace Mann PTSA for this educational evening where we will explore these and other internet related topics. Please join us in the Mann library for a seminar lead by local internet safety activist Scott Hetherington. Scott’s enlightening presentation will help us become informed parents that can provide appropriate boundaries for our children in an increasingly electronic world. Scott will leave time at the end of his presentation to answer your particular questions, so come prepared for an interesting discussion, no question is too small.
