Winston Preparatory SchoolSeptember, 3rd, 2010

Dear WPS Family,

Thank you for a wonderful first week of school!  We are looking forward to another amazing school year!

We will be having an assembly next week for students and faculty to touch base and remind students of after school activities and our upcoming King Tut exhibit.

As a reminder there will be no school on Labor Day, Monday, September 6th.  In addition, there will be no school on Thursday September 9th and Friday September 10th in observance of Rosh Hashanah. 

Enjoy the long weekend and let's hope for no stormy weather!
 
Sincerely,

Monika Shah
Director of Operations/WPPA Liaison
