WELCHES WEEKLY UPDATE!

APRIL 17, 2025

REMINDER – NO SCHOOL FRIDAY – APRIL 18

Thank you to Angela Harrell for our beautiful mural in the elementary multi purpose room.

OUR WILDCAT WISDOM TRAIT FOR APRIL IS INTEGRITY

This month our Wildcat Wisdom trait is integrity. Integrity means being trustworthy. It also means doing the right thing even when it is hard to do so. 

WELCHES SPIRIT WEAR!

We are excited to be offering all new Welches Spirit Wear to Welches staff and families.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL AT THE LIONS CLUB

Welches students grades K-3 will be taking a walk over to the Lions Club on

Tuesday, April 22.

They will be participating in the RIF (Reading is Fundamental) program.

Students will get a snack, listen to a read aloud and will get to pick out free books to take home.

ALL SMILES DENTAL TEAM AT WELCHES – WEEK OF 5/12/25

All Smiles Community Oral Health will be providing free dental screenings, sealants, and fluoride at Welches school during the week of May 12, 2025. Healthy teeth are important to your child’s overall health.
 
 A dental screening is a quick look inside your child’s mouth to check the overall health of their teeth. Dental sealants are protective coatings put on the back teeth to prevent cavities and fluoride is a vitamin that is brushed on the teeth to make teeth stronger and prevent cavities.
 
 Click this link to sign the permission form for your child online.   If you prefer, paper forms were sent home this week as well.
