WELCHES WEEKLY UPDATE!
MAY 22, 2026
WILDCAT WISDOM FOR MAY IS HONESTY
This month our Wildcat Wisdom trait is honesty. Honesty means telling the truth. When we tell the truth, people can trust us.
WELCHES YEARBOOKS STILL AVAILABLE
We still have some Welches Yearbooks available for purchase.
Yearbooks are $18.00 each.
You can order a yearbook by sending $18.00 in an envelope with your student’s name on it.
Sorry we cannot take any orders without money.
For 8th grade students and parents.....
The 8th grade promotion committee will be buying yearbooks for each 8th grade student.
We will get them to 8th grade students when they come in towards the end of the school year.
8th GRADE PROMOTION – BABY PICTURES NEEDED!
One of the favorite features of our 8th grade Promotion Ceremony is the Memory Slideshow. To make it special, we need pictures of the 8th grade students as babies or toddlers. Please send all digital pictures to our slide show coordinator, Stephanie Smith, at ssmith0811@yahoo.com.
Please be sure to include the students' name in the subject line so we can ensure that every student is included in the slideshow.
If you do not have a digital copy but have a hard copy of the picture, send it in an envelope, with the student's name on the back of the picture and on the envelope. We will scan it, and then give the original back to you.
We will be communicating about upcoming planning meetings and promotion details soon.

SUPPORT YOUR NEIGHBORS
Support Your Neighbors
Tuesday, July 21st 5:30-7pm
Connect with your neighbors and community members in a conversation facilitated by Clackamas Women's Services on supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
This workshop is for anyone who wants to feel more equipped when supporting a loved one experiencing domestic or intimate partner violence.
To continue the conversation of how we can support survivors of domestic violence in our lives, we are going to spend this session talking about how we can create a more survivor-centered community.
Looking to the future, we will discuss how we want community to respond to survivors and to those causing harm, and how we can center survivor safety over abuser comfort.
Free and open to all
