Hello WAAS Families!

I hope you are enjoying this crisp, cool fall weather!  It surely puts a pep in our steps.

Finally, Mrs. Marsh and I have a solution to our unpredictable, unfaithful, slow running Internet service.  After much research and investigation, we determined that our Charter Internet modem needs to be updated.  In addition, we have increased our band width.  Hopefully, the work will be completed Monday morning, November 16.  The teachers and students are to be commended for their patience during this ordeal.  Thanks to all!

Your Annual Fund contributions are at work.  Today, the building, outside sheds and sidewalks are being pressure washed in preparation for replacing rotten wood and painting the exterior during the week of November 23-27, the week the students are out of school.  We will paint the building the same color and the sheds will match.  In addition, we plan to install gutters to get the rain water away from the building.  Through Jimmy Sanderford’s leadership, the BOT has worked diligently to be good financial stewards of the contributions.  Thanks to all!

Reminder to purchase a brick in honor of your child or teacher (past or present). Please refer to the November 12 Blog for more information.
The students really seem to be enjoying our two new vendors, Positalia and Subway. Since Dominoe’s tardiness in delivery has been corrected, I am pleased with the services being rendered by all vendors.
