| Principal's Message | Thank you to all who attended Back to School Night last evening. We appreciate your support and hope the classroom presentations were informative.
Tomorrow all students will be taking pictures during their PE classes. You can pre-order pictures on line, there is a link on the WCI website. You can also have students bring their picture packets to school. If your child misses pictures tomorrow, make up day will be October 23rd.
Also, this Friday will be a half day with a 12:47 release time.
Have a wonderful week.

Please see the article below about how you can support our PTA by becoming a member at WCI. Have a great week! Julie Gibson, WCI PTA President jagibson@astound.net

Girl Scouts
Does your daughter like crafts, learning new skills, camping, singing goofy songs, trying a new experience, doing things for her community or the world at large and just being with other girls her age? If you answered yes to any of those then your daughter might like to be a Girl Scout. If you are interested in learning more about being a part of Girl Scouts here in Walnut Creek look for the Girl Scouts' table at WCI's Welcome Back Day or contact Stacy Scanlon.
