Dear Walgrove Families and Staff,
First off, I am so grateful and pleased that the SEIU-99 strike resolved and that prized Walgrove team members have been given their due acknowledgement. Indeed, we would not be able to offer either school or positive and meaningful school relationships without these very prized and skilled team members. Can you imagine a world without our Special Education Assistants or Instructional Aides or B&G custodial workers or bus drivers or cafeteria staff or others on the same front lines? I cannot!
I proffer an immense gratitude to all of you who supported our staff throughout the three-day work stoppage -- and beyond.
We welcome your kiddos and you with open and better-armed arms during this coming week.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
LOST AND FOUND
Lost and Found will be available via the STAR Gate (the Walgrove Ave. gate between the Cafeteria and the Auditorium) 2:30-6pm ALL WEEK. Everything in possession will be on display. We have additional racks and hangers. Come and find your stuff, or we will wash and donate imminently.
DEVICES
If you received an iPad or Chromebook during the 3-day strike, please return it along with the charger. Or fear self-critical self-talk accompanied by less sleep. (Or phone calls. Ugh.)
BOOK FAIR ISSUE
Please check your kiddos' backpacks (or excited tales) for anything bauble-y they may have absconded with during the Book Fair, as seven books that were once adorned with baubles were effectively de-baubled during the Book Fair (so far). While we do anticipate a certain amount of loss during the Book Fair, as kiddos make their wish-lists, we do need to cover the losses. So, please help us do that. Please, if you are able, donate here: BOOK FAIR LOSSES DUE TO CHILD EXCITEMENT
Thank you so much for your partnership and support!
Let's have a great week, Walgrove!
