Socks of Love

After reading an article from a Scholastic News magazine about homelessness in America, one of Monclova Primary's fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Seeger got the idea to help out the homeless in the Toledo area. She also saw an idea called "Socks of Love" on Pinterest.  By combining the two ideas, she came up with the month's "Hearts of Kindness" project. The 4th grade students collected socks and travel-sized toiletries. Mrs. Seeger's class then put them together.  Each sock contained the other sock, a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, and various other toiletries. The socks were tied closed with a ribbon and note that said they were put together by 4th grade students at Monclova Primary School. They were then dropped them off at the drop off center for the Cherry Street Mission in downtown Toledo. The students collected about 82 socks plus a few extra toiletries. The representatives at the Cherry Street Mission were very appreciative of the donation and sent a nice note of thanks.  We are proud of our 4th grade students and Mrs. Seeger!

We Care Chair

Monclova's fourth grade students made a donation to the Progeria foundation this year with the proceeds from their cookie sale. This was a part of an entrepreneurship unit.  In addition they donated a child size rocking chair that will be used at the hospital. The parents' club, MAPS will be donating a matching adult sized chair to go along with that chair.

AWHS Hosts a Night of Vocal Jazz

On Monday, April 21, 7:30 p.m., AWHS will host a night of vocal jazz in the high school auditorium.  The night features both AWHS vocal jazz ensembles, Generally Jazz and Close Harmony, as well as the BGSU Vocal Jazz Choir and Lemoyne College Jazzuits from Syracuse, NY.  Each group will work with Grammy award winning artist, Kim Nazarian, of the NY Voices that afternoon and hopefully, Kim will also perform solo! 

This event is free and everyone is invited to enjoy with us!

Roundabout Training

The Village of Whitehouse in coordination with the Lucas County Engineer’s Office are developing a roundabout to be constructed at the Intersection of State Route 64 and Finzel Road, North and South.

The project consists of constructing a modern roundabout at the intersection of SR64 and Finzel Road and the realignment of Finzel Road to eliminate the existing offset intersection.  Also included is the construction of splitter islands at the approach to the roundabout, storm sewer, sidewalks/multi-use path, landscaping, lighting and other related work.

Monclova Primary Third Grade Wax Museum

The Wax Museum is a presentation of information learned through reading a biography. Students take the role of the famous person and present the information as an autobiography.  They create an information board, bring props and even dress in character.  The students present during the school day for other students and teachers and then in the evening for families and friends.  As always, this year's students did an AWesome job!

Calendar Update

Tuesday, May 6 is a school day for students. This will be a kindergarten white team day. This day was originally going to be a day off of school for staff and students because it is Primary election day in Ohio and three AW buildings are polling locations. We will have extra security on hand to ensure student safety in those buildings.

Calamity Day Plan 2013/14

Dear AW Parents & Students,

Over the past month, many have inquired about the plan to make up the school days missed due to inclement weather.  Legislation requires students to make up five of the fourteen days missed.  At last night’s Board of Education meeting, the Anthony Wayne Board of Education approved a plan to do so.   The plan consists of small changes in the current school calendar along with the utilization of On-line Assignments / Blizzard Bags.  This will allow the last day of instruction to remain June 4, 2014.  Below is a list of how each of these days will be made up:

Day             Replaced by                       Replacement Date

1. Contingency Plan              Students complete On-line Assignments (Assigned on March 27th; Due April 10th)                                    
2. Contingency Plan              Students complete On-line Assignments (Assigned on March 27th; Due April 10th)                                                
3. Contingency Plan              Students complete On-line Assignments (Assigned on April 14th; Due April 28th)                                                    
4. Contingency Plan               Students attend school on 5/6/14
5. Contingency Plan              Ohio Department of Education - Professional Development Waiver Day- 6/5/14 - Students do not report

Two On-line Assignments/ Blizzard Bags will be distributed to students this week (no later than Thursday). They will be given two weeks from the date of distribution to complete them.  We appreciate your assistance in making sure your child completes the assignments.  If they do not complete the assignments, they will be considered absent. Also, if the school district were to miss any school days for the remainder of the year due to inclement weather, days will be added on to the end of the school year.

Thank you for your patience with this winter weather and the use of the calamity days. We are happy that the Ohio Legislature approved the recent legislation that allowed the District to finalize the plan.  We look forward to working with you as we implement this plan.
