Fall Means Lots of Pumpkins!

We're lucky to have pumpkin patches nearby--and beautiful fall weather in which to enjoy them!

Fire Truck Visit

Thank you to the firefighters from the SouthSide Fire Department!  We had a wonderful time learning about the job of a firefighter, the equipment used, and how to squirt a fire hose!  We were a little surprised at how loud some of the trucks were though!

Thank You!

Thanks to the generosity of our families at WIPP we donated well over $100 to Coastal Pet Rescue--and two car loads of goods to the Humane Society and Animal Control/One Love Pet Rescue!

National Fire Prevention Month

October is National Fire Prevention month.  We’ll be discussing fire safety in our classrooms and enjoying a visit from the Southside Fire Department on October 20^th.  This is also a great time to review your home escape plan.

Here you can see us playing with our "fire hoses" on the playground fire truck!

Be Kind to Animals Week at WIPP

Many of our families have pets that we love and take care of, but some animals in our area aren't that lucky. During the week of September 29, we're collecting the items below to help out the Humane Society and One Love Animal Rescue. Some of our classes will be decorating toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls to send along with our good wishes. (These are filled with treats and folded closed to use as makeshift KONG toys.)

We'll also have a jar in the hallway to collect change for Coastal Pet Rescue's

Pennies for Pets fund.

Thank you for all you do for our school—and our community!

You can send any of the items below to school September 29-October 3 and we'll make sure they get delivered! If you'd like to come by and drop them off, you're always welcome.

• Dawn dishwashing soap
• HE (High Efficiency) liquid laundry detergent (especially fragrance-free)
• large size hand sanitizer bottles
• Paper towels
• Purina Dry dog/puppy and cat/kitten food
• dog treats (like Pupperonis)
