SOAR Students of the Week
Good evening Falcon families! This is a reminder that starting tomorrow, we will have a Santa Shop until Friday for students who bring money to purchase gifts; they will also have time next week in their classes to make cards to along with the gifts if they'd like. Also, you or your child may begin regularly seeing an officer at school. This is a collaboration between WCS and the Parkersburg Police Department to have and SRO presence at schools that did not previously have one. The purpose is to ensure safety and to be a positive role model for our students!

Franklin Parents and Guardians,

Fliers will be coming home soon with information about our Santa Shop, which will be open December 3–5. To help our staff and volunteers support each student, please make sure your child has a shopping list of who they are shopping for.

We also ask that you send their money and list in a sealed envelope or ziplock bag clearly labeled with their name. This helps prevent items from getting misplaced on the way to class and ensures a smooth shopping experience for everyone.

Thank you for your support in making this event special for our students! 🎁

🇺🇸 Veterans Day Assembly 🇺🇸
Our students came together to honor and celebrate our nation’s heroes during today’s Veterans Day Awards Assembly. The entire school proudly sang “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” and each grade level performed a song representing a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces:

🎖️ 5th Grade – The Marines’ Hymn
✈️ 4th Grade – The U.S. Air Force
🚛 3rd Grade – The Army Goes Rolling Along
⚓️ 2nd Grade – Anchors Aweigh
🛟 1st Grade – Semper Paratus

In preparation for the assembly, students wrote essays about what the flag means to them, created flags and patriotic art, and brought in tributes to honor family members who have served. ❤️ They also colored poppies, soldiers, and other symbols of gratitude to help show their support and respect for our veterans.

We are so proud of our Falcons for showing such heartfelt appreciation for those who have served our country. 💙❤️🤍
