THINGS TO DO NOW

*Dear Washington Hoyt Families.  The Entertainment Book sale is in full swing. If you would like to purchase more books, please contact Kathy Spurrell, at 761-8983.  If you do not want the book that was sent home with your child, it is very important that you send it back to school as soon as possible.  Please either send the $25.00 to buy the book or return the book to your child's teacher on or before Oct. 4th.  Thank you for making our fundraiser great.

*Friday marks the sign-up deadline for the Fall session of our afterschool art program WHAM: Washington-Hoyt's Art Movement. Classes are available Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30. Space is limited to 16 students in each class, so don't wait. Information and registration forms can be found at
