Dear West Running Brook Families:
Despite the bitter cold, it was an exciting week at WRB. On Tuesday “Corey the Dribbler” visited WRB, presenting his message of respect and kindness while showing off his amazing basketball skills. Thank you to the PTSA for providing this great opportunity for our students.
Our first ever full band concert was held at WRB last night. The performance was simply amazing. Our students showed amazing professionalism and musicianship throughout the performance. Thank you to the staff who participated in the concert and volunteered. A huge thank you to Ms. Saranita for her work! We are so proud of our band students!
Reminder: Students have outdoor recess if the “feels like” temperature is 20 degrees or higher. We are seeing many students without coats, hats, etc. Please remind your children to bring appropriate outerwear to WRB. Thank you!
Debate Club Sign-ups
Are you ready to have some fun and show off your dynamic discussion skills? If you love to talk about cool topics, do research, solve problems, and work with friends, then you should join the super fun 5th and 6th Grade Debate Club!
In this club, you’ll get to compete in exciting debate matches with other students! You’ll learn how to make strong arguments and present your ideas in a way that will impress everyone. We’ll chat about current issues and practice our speaking skills in a friendly environment.
