“Nothing great was ever achieved
without enthusiasm.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are looking for great indoor activities to occupy your children that
support our academic endeavors, please encourage them to spend time
reading and studying math facts. Practice makes perfect!
The food service specialist is asking for your help. Please take a moment to
fill out the online food service survey. The deadline has been extended so
that your input can be included. The survey can be accessed on the Waverly
School District website by clicking on “Cafeteria”. Food service is using the
information to evaluate their services and gather student preferences for
future planning. Thank you for your support!
The PAWS Group (Parents at Waverly Schools) is planning a Gertrude Hawk

be available for pickup on March 16th in the gymnasium. The next PAWS
meeting will take place at 6:30 P.M. on February 11th in Room 204 at Elm

***MUSIC NOTES FROM MRS. ZIMMERMAN***
Elm Street Chorus is up and running in preparation for a busy second
semester. Chorus continues to practice on Tuesdays/Thursdays in
preparation for our Music in Our Schools Month vocal ensemble program.
This will take place on Wednesday, March 18th, in the High School
Auditorium and will include our grade four chorus and the fifth grade chorus
from Chemung, as well as the middle school choral group. Concert time is
7:00 P.M.
Fourth grade students will soon begin to play recorders as part of their
melody unit of study in music class. Students will have an option to purchase
an instrument of their own, but will not be required to do so.
Please remember, also, that Elm Street's own spring music program for
grades three and four will be held on Tuesday, May 12th. This will take place
in the Elm Street gymnasium. (Please note: There is NO concert on
Wednesday, April 29th, as listed on the district calendar.) We will finish out
the year with the elementary ensembles program on Wednesday, May 20.
