This week’s Wiley Spotlight shines on our Cafeteria Manager, Ms. Amelia Evans.
What do you like to do
during the summer? I enjoy
spending time with my daughter and going to church.
If you could pick anywhere to work, where would it be? Why? (And you can't pick your present job). I would work anywhere that I could work with children … somewhere in the USA with warm weather!
What's the funniest thing that has happened to you while at Wiley? There are a lot of funny things! One time I was walking up the sidewalk to the office and my lens fell out of my glasses. All of a sudden I was wondering why I was seeing things so differently. I touched my glasses and realized the lens had popped out!
Who was your favorite teacher in school? Ms. Squire, a teacher at Garysburg Elementary School in Garysburg, NC (near Roanoke Rapids). She was one that would talk to you, and she could tell if something was wrong. She had a way of holding you accountable for your actions while also helping you learn.

International Book Fair - Author Reading and Volunteer
Help:

event. Please come check it out!
We also have a very special event planned for the afternoon
of October 22. Local author Stephanie Greene (author of the Princess Posy
and Owen Foote books) will do a reading, answer questions and sign books.
Captain Poncho’s Taco Truck and a dessert truck on site at 6:00, so plan
on making an evening of it!
We need volunteers to help make the International Book Fair
a success! There are lots of slots available, including setting up, doing
book inventory, covering morning and afternoon sales, mid-day monitoring and
clean up!!! Use the link below to sign up:
Volunteers Needed:
Wiley currently has a need for volunteers who can clean
projectors, computers and computer tables for classroom teachers. This
task would require bringing a small handheld vacuum and a step stool to reach
mounted projectors. All other necessary tools will be provided (i.e.
screwdriver, cleaning kit, wipes). The best time for this task would be
during planning periods of classroom teachers, so as not to disrupt core
instruction or elective courses. This type of cleaning will help maintain
the life of our technology devices. If interested in this opportunity,
please email Sadie Hoover at shoover@wcpss.net.
