Read Night Success!


On Thursday, November 5th the MWS Site Council sponsored its annual Read Night at Marion W. Savage Elementary School. At this event, students had an opportunity to exchange picture books and chapter books, adults could do the same, all could view an exciting puppet show in the Media Center, and finally cap the evening off with some ice cream to support our 6th Grade Send Off fundraising efforts.

I would like to specifically recognize the work of Amy Kierstead, the Chair of Read Night for 2009 for all of her hard work and efforts. I would also like to recognize Michelle Hertle for her support with these efforts as well. The Site Council also played a role in planning this event, so I would like to thank Jinny Riggs, Robbie Bunnell, Stacey Wollmuth, Pat Mitton, Digger Anderson, Chelsea Rudie, Briana Benson, Annie Jarzyna, Sara Strahota, Natalie Bauleke, Micky Hubanks and Polly Burns. Thank you as well to the many MWS Staff members who served as volunteers for this fine event as well.

On a side note, I would also like to thank Maria Peerboom and Beth Spaude for all of their efforts in distributing Sally Foster gift wrap to families who supported our school fundraiser. I know that many volunteers were involved in the process as well, and I sincerely thank you for your help.

Thank you to one and all for making Marion W. Savage Elementary School such a fun place to be!

Warm regards,
Mr. Willey
