Welcome Back Wiley Family! How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was restful and full of joy! Don't forget that our Food Friends Food Drive begins today. We are collecting food to help Wiley families sustain the long holiday break. Please send in non-perishable, non-glass contained food between today and December 14.
Book Club News
Ms. Molloy has invited fifth grade students to join the Fifth Grade Co-ed Book Club, which begins meeting on Thursday, Nov. 29 in the media center during lunch. There are two book selections: Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson and The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester by Barbara O'Connor. Students can sign up for the book club in the media center and check out the title of their choice. There is no limit to the number of students who can join the book club, but there are limited copies of each title available from the Wiley library, and the books will be given out to those who sign up first. Copies of both titles are also available at the public library. The book club provides a fun way for students to dine together and discuss great literature. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Molloy, our media specialist.
