We will meet on the sidewalk outside of Washington at 3:40 to wave signs in support of the bond. We cannot be on school property while doing this, but like we did the "Save Washington-Hoyt", we can stand on the sidewalks. Please bring your own sign! Thanks! If you have any questions, please call Deb Llewellyn at 752-1494! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Green Schools Mascot Contest Washington-Hoyt’s Green Schools Program is now in its second year. And we need a mascot!
Can you create a little creature who can be a mascot for our school’s program? The mascot will appear wherever Green Schools is mentioned—such as all Green Schools literature, in Cougar Tales and on the Green Schools bulletin board.
What are some of the characteristics that should belong to our mascot? Well, our little creature is definitely concerned about looking after our environment. He/She wants us to recycle, switch off lights when we’re not using them, and think twice before throwing things in the garbage. Our mascot is also inquisitive and wants to learn more about how we can help look after our earth.
The contest is open to all Washington-Hoyt students. Please send us a drawing of your mascot idea on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. Clearly print your name and the name of your teacher on the paper and turn it in to your teacher. The deadline is Friday, February 27th. We’re looking forward to seeing your ideas!
FYI: the FEBRUARY AFTER SCHOOL ART Classes
will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, from 3:45 - 6PM.
Classes are moving to a new location in the 3rd floor computer lab.
