MARCH WORD OF THE MONTH: TRUSTWORTHINESS
Being responsible and dependable
“TODAY IN HISTORY”: On this day, Albert Einstein (1879), famous physicist, Quincy Jones
(1933), music producer, and Billy Crystal (1947), actor and comedian, were born.
Today is Pi Day!
Help us celebrate our favorite irrational number! (An irrational number is
a decimal number whose digits go on forever, never repeating a pattern.) Meet at the rally
platform at SNACK today to watch the Pi memorization contest. How do some other people
celebrate Pi Day? At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, a crowd gathers and circumambulates
(walks around) a "pi shrine" (a small brass plate) 3.14 times (well, approximately 3.14 times).
They also add more beads to a ritual bead string--now up to more than 1600 beads--where each
bead represents a different digit of pi. And, of course, they eat pie. Happy Pi Day to you all!
SPRING BREAK…Enjoy your SPRING BREAK, March 17-March 21. School resumes on regular
schedule Monday, March 24. Have a great week off.
Basketball Carnival: The Wilson Annual Basketball Carnival will be held today,
Friday, March 14, from 12:30 -3:00 pm. Only 325 tickets are available for purchase. Tickets can
be bought for $1 in advance at lunch on “Music Days” (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) or
$2 at the door on Friday. First come, first served. Don’t miss out on your chance to watch staff
vs. students on the court. It’s sure to be an EXCITING and FUN time!
MESA DAY PARTICIPANTS: Don't forget that the Prelims will be on Saturday March
22nd. Be sure to arrive at Wilson @ 6:00 am by the flag pole. Don't forget to bring your project
and all needed materials! Work hard and make Wilson PROUD. (Mrs. Jackson, Ms. Inglish, Mrs. Panosyan)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Mrs. Nam’s Homeroom, with 568 BoxTops, is the highest BoxTop
collecting class for 2nd trimester. They will be enjoying a delicious ice cream sundae party when
we return from spring break. Mrs. Curry’s class currently has the highest total # of BoxTops
collected so far this year with Ms. Milton’s Homeroom close behind. Remember, there is still one
more opportunity for your Homeroom to earn an ice cream sundae party. The highest collecting
class for 3rd trimester, plus the class who collects the largest # of BoxTops for the year, will
receive an ice cream sundae party in May. So keep collecting those BoxTops over spring break
and throughout March, April, and May for your Homeroom so that your class may earn a
delicious ice cream party! Thank you for supporting Wilson!
Luscious Sweet or Sour Lip Lollipops go on sale Monday the 24th when we get back
from Spring Break. $1.00 each - sold outside of the art room everyday after school all week.
Get them before they sell out. Proceeds go to buy supplies for the Art Dept. (Mrs. Sutphin)
FACULTY
DELICIOUS Edible Treats…are
available for sale today in the main office near Marie’s
desk. Help support Ms. Weckerly’s students in learning the value of and how to work with
currency by purchasing a delicious treat during snack today. Edible goodies will be sold every
Friday for varying amounts not to exceed $2. Thank you for your support! (Ms. Weckerly)
