Weekly Note 1/11/17



Dear WVSDB Community;



Happy New Year greetings to everyone!  It is Braille Challenge week this week at WVSB!  We are hosting a social gathering tonight to kick off the event.  The regional competition will take place all day tomorrow.  A special word of appreciation and gratitude goes out to Ms. Sheila Amato, who serves on our Advisory Board, for her tremendous support and help in organizing this important academic event for our students.



Congratulations to Cassie Bowie who was recently selected as the December Secondary Resident of the Month.  Cassie was nominated for demonstration of a positive attitude with staff and other residents.  She often asks if she can help in the dorm.  In addition, Cassie treats others with respect and completes daily tasks independently.  She is also wonderfully artistic and creative.  In the residential setting, Cassie demonstrates the character traits of respect, caring, honesty, and helpfulness.



Lastly, we are proud to offer Family and Friends ASL classes which will begin tomorrow night, January 12th.  The ASL classes, sponsored by the Outreach program, will be held every Thursday night until the end of the school year in June.  For more information on the classes, please contact Ms. Tammy Phillips at tlphillips at k12.wv.us<mailto:tlphillips at k12.wv.us>.



Respectfully yours,
