Just a few quick messages about up and coming events being held at JA Wendt Elementary School in the coming weeks.

This Friday, April 22, Mrs. Moonen will host the “Jump for Heart” event! Students will meet in the middle school gym to participate in jumping rope, hula hoop, double dutch and many more activities. If you are able to volunteer your time for a couple of hours to help with the event, and or, be able to donate some fruit or juice and water for the event, please let Cinnon or Mrs. Moonen know as soon as possible by calling 360-795-3261.

On April 29 the PTO will host “Spring Blossom Bingo” at 6 p.m. in the school multi-purpose room for a fun evening of bingo. We will raffle off a beautiful gift basket made especially for us from Cathlamet Pharmacy, and a retro LP, CD, Stereo Radio Player with Aux. Lots of raffles and prizes available! Fun for everyone of all ages! $10 for three bingo cards and if you bring in any non-perishable food item you will receive an extra bingo card. One extra card per player, to help out local food banks.

The Buy One Get One Book Fair is fast approacing. Mark your calendars for the week of May 13-20, we will be open on Saturday, May 14 until noon. This is open to the public, the book choices are for ages pre-school through adult. These make great birthday presents and you can stash some away for Christmas, as well as for that summer reading we need to stay caught up on! A reminder flyer will be sent home soon, and watch for the signs.

Hope to see you at bingo!
