Dear West Running Brook Families:
What a week at WRB! The Monster Mile was a huge success! It was great to see all of our students walking and running in support of the WRB PTSA! Nearly $20,000 was raised, all of which goes right back to our students! Thank you to our volunteers, PTSA, staff and students for making this such a huge success!
Next week we celebrate a long standing tradition at WRB, welcoming Veterans to a special breakfast on Friday morning. All students will be able to view the ceremony and enjoy a team breakfast, as the event will be live streamed to classrooms.
Don’t forget, we have our monthly PTSA Meeting Wednesday, November 6 at 6:00 in the library.
FAMILY CONFERENCES:
Family conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, 11/12 from 12:05 to 7:00. You should have received information from your child’s advisor. Come meet your child’s UA teachers in the library. UA is also available for scheduled conferences. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s advisor or the office with any questions.

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Bear Winners:
Ms. Watson’s Orange Class
Ms. Watson's Orange Stem class worked incredibly hard this week to use the Design Process to create water filters from recycled materials. They were able to embrace productive struggle and worked hard to reflect and redesign if their initial prototypes were not successful. They were diligent in completing their documentation and worked well with their partners.
Mrs. Reese’s Blue Class
Mrs. Reese’s blue math class had a great week getting to work and persevering, even when there was a substitute in class. Teachers don’t love to be out sick, but when they are, they appreciate everyone who comes together to make our visiting adult feel welcome, respected and follow those CARES values that we stress each day here at WRBIS!!! Mrs. Reese is so proud of the example they set for the other blocks.
